Chapter 5 Internet Cafe
At 08:30 in the morning, the familiar alarm clock sounded.

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

Lu Li, who was half asleep and half awake, opened his eyes and slapped the alarm clock with one hand, and the noisy sound disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Turning over on his back, Lu Li yawned big, got up from the bed, and pushed open the door of the study.

Lao Lu and Lao Xiao had already gone to work, and Lu Li was the only one left at home.

"Panda, wake up. We'll be leaving in half an hour. Let's go to the Internet cafe to play games." After sending Panda a text message via WeChat, Lu Li walked into the bathroom and took a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom, the panda had already sent him many messages.

【Panda: Bro, look at what time it is now, my buddy didn't sleep until early last night. 】

【Panda: To the north, if it wasn't because of seeing you break up in love last night, my buddy would definitely not come out today. 】

【Panda: (big head) (big head)】

【Panda: By the way, when you came, you brought two steamed buns for my buddy. The buddy hasn't had breakfast yet. 】

"This guy." Lu Li chuckled, took his keys, ID card, mobile phone and other belongings, opened the door and walked out.

The complex that Lu Li lived in was an old one, but there were still elevators installed in every building.

He strode to the elevator, pressed the door open button, and waited quietly for the elevator to come up.

"Om."

There was a crisp sound, and then the elevator door opened slowly.

Walking into the elevator and pressing the button on the first floor, just as Lu Li moved his finger towards the door close button, he suddenly heard a sound from outside the door.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute."

As a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, Lu Li immediately knew that it was Xu Qing's voice, and hesitated for a while whether to wait for her.

Wait, it feels a little awkward to meet, after all, he just rejected his confession last night.

Don't wait, there are only three families living on this floor, and those who look down do not see those who look up...

In the end, Lu Li pressed the door open button.

Two seconds later, there was a "bang" sound of closing the door, followed by the sound of small leather shoes stepping on the ground.

Then a beautiful figure appeared in front of Lu Li.

A black and supple high ponytail, a white suspender skirt, and a light green coat.

Her skin is as white as milk, her eyes are narrow and cold, and her big bright eyes are full of pride and confidence.

She is like a white swan on the stage, destined to meet everyone's admiring gaze.

After running into the elevator, Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the boy in front of him.

The boy's facial features were delicate and handsome, his figure was tall and straight, and his whole body was filled with a clean and unrestrained temperament, which made one couldn't help but want to get close to him.

"Lu... Lu Li, you...you have to go out too." After seeing the person in front of him clearly, a look of helplessness flashed across Xu Qing's face, and he asked softly.

When she spoke, her eyes were a little dodgy, but with a little expectation.

"Yeah." Lu Li nodded, "I have an appointment with Panda to go out to play."

The moment he saw Xu Qing, Lu Li found that he was not as embarrassed as he imagined, and felt quite calm, as if standing in front of him was not the person who rejected his confession last night, but an ordinary classmate.

"I'm going to go out with Yiyi today." Xu Qing blinked her pretty eyes and whispered, "Why don't we go together, exactly four of us."

Normally, she didn't like Lu Li intervening in her personal life, and felt that she had no privacy at all.I don't know why today, maybe subconsciously aware that Lu Li is leaving her, Xu Qing took the initiative to invite Lu Li to be with her for the first time.

"Forget it, we're going to the Internet cafe today." Lu Li shook his head without thinking.

It's not that he's afraid of embarrassment, he just thinks it's more convenient for two boys to play.

"Then... that's fine." Xu Qing whispered, feeling a strong sense of helplessness in his heart.

In her past memory, Lu Li seldom refused her request.

Even if she sent a difficult math problem at 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Li would send him the solution of the whole problem within [-] minutes at most.

Even if she suddenly said on a whim that she wanted to go to the mountains to watch the sunrise at four o'clock in the morning, Lu Li would still smile and nod in agreement.

Lu Li would only refuse her request in some emergencies, such as when he was in his hometown or traveling with his parents.

But in Xu Qing's memory of the past 15 years, Lu Li had never seen Lu Li voluntarily rejecting him in a situation like today without external interference.

During the descent of the elevator, neither of them spoke again, as if they were not childhood sweethearts who grew up together, but just strangers.

There was silence in the small space.

Lu Li felt nothing, but Xu Qing's heart seemed to be weighed down by a big rock.

In the past, he would take the initiative to make himself happy, but now this kind of cold silence has never happened... For no reason, Xu Qing felt a little wronged, but she didn't say anything, just glanced at Lu Li secretly.

Lu Li was engrossed in looking at his phone, and he didn't notice that the little girl next to him was in a bad mood.

The elevator descended very quickly, and after a while, it reached the first floor.

The elevator door opened, and Lu Li walked out first, when a clear voice suddenly came from behind.

"Lu Li." Xu Qing stood on the spot and shouted seriously: "I just think we are more suitable to be friends. I don't mean to hate you. Don't think too much about it."

???

Lu Li turned his head, a bit puzzled between his brows.

How much do you think about yourself?

Lu Li's temperament belongs to the kind that can afford it and let it go. He will not feel sad because his confession is rejected, and it will even affect his original life.

Maybe he would have some regrets at first, but now he is pondering too many facts.

The sudden appearance of the simulator, the extra ten years of writing ability and ten years of experience in game design, these are enough to occupy all of his time, so that he has no extra thoughts to think about the fact that he was rejected by the confession.

The reason why contemporary young people emo late at night is not because of how sad their lives are, nor because of how sensitive their emotions are.The reason why they emo is simply because they have nothing to do.

If they move bricks at the construction site all day, they probably think about rest as soon as they go to bed at night, so how can they have the energy to emo.

As for Lu Li, what he wants to do most now is to write a novel that can bring him enough income, so as to accumulate his first pot of gold.

"I didn't think much about it." Lu Li seriously explained, "I think you're right, we're not suitable for being together, I was impulsive last night."

The tone of his speech is very sincere and sincere, but there is no pretentiousness, as if all this is from his heart.

I think you're right...

we don't fit together...

I was impulsive last night...

Obviously what Lu Li said was the same as what she expressed, but Xu Qing felt even more aggrieved, and what made her even more unbelievable was that...

As a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, she could see that Lu Li's words came from his heart, without the slightest intention of holding on.

So do you think confessing to me is just a product of impulse... Xu Qing clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "I mean the same thing, it's really great that you think so .”

After saying that, she quickened her steps and quickly walked past Lu Li.

"What's wrong with her?" Lu Li tilted his head and asked in confusion.

The two had known each other for so many years, so he could naturally see that Xu Qing was angry.

But you were the one who rejected me, so why are you the one who got angry.

Lu Li said he couldn't understand, but since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to.

……

After walking some distance...

Xu Qing took a deep breath, looked back at Lu Li, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why have you been following me?"

Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help covering his face with his left hand, and pointed to the neighborhood not far away with his right hand.

"Panda and Luo Yiyi live in the same community, so I can't take a long way to avoid you."

Yes... yes, Panda and Yiyi live in the same community.

Xu Qing's expression suddenly became embarrassed, her cherry lips moved slightly, and she stammered out after thinking for a long time:
"Have you had breakfast, why don't we go together, there is a breakfast shop in front, and it's doing pretty well."
