Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 525 Milk Tea is So Sweet

Bai Qingxia shook her head vigorously, then suddenly burst into tears again: "I'm sorry, Lu Yuanqiu... Hu Caiwei told you back then that she wasn't ready and made you wait. Now I'm saying the same thing to you and making you wait too."

"You must be very sad, very sad... It's all my fault. I wish I could be like a normal girl. I really envy ordinary families, but I can't even meet ordinary expectations..."

She had just finished crying, and now she was crying sadly again. Her choked voice was heartbreaking. Lu Yuanqiu looked at the red nose on her snow-white face and felt extremely sad, because at this moment, Bai Qingxia was most concerned about his feelings.

There may be millions of kind girls in the world, but none of them can compare to the precious girl beside me. Lu Yuanqiu would give his life for her.

He opened his arms and hugged Bai Qingxia, rubbing her back to comfort her, "I'm not upset. You think too highly of me. Besides, how can Hu Caiwei compare to you? You're a thousand times, ten thousand times better than her. You're being responsible to me; you just want to present a better version of yourself to me..."

"I'm not that good, I'm stubborn."

"Hey, what I like is stubbornness."

Bai Qingxia blinked her teary eyes, her panicked and helpless mood slightly calmed down by Lu Yuanqiu's words. Seeing that her classmates were all looking at the two of them with the same expression, she reached out and separated herself from Lu Yuanqiu.

Chi Caocao had already run over. She held the sword and smiled happily at Bai Qingxia, but then her smile froze as she saw Bai Qingxia's face covered in tears.

When Lu Yuanqiu saw Chi Caocao turn to look at him, the little girl threw down her sword and, without saying a word, swung her two little fists and hit him, uttering a tearful groan of resentment.

"You made her cry again! I hate you! I hate you!"

Bai Qingxia quickly stepped forward to stop Chi Caocao and explained, "It has nothing to do with him, it's my fault, it's my fault..."

Chi Caocao turned to look at Bai Qingxia, carefully examining her. Her eyes were red as she raised her fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of Bai Qingxia's eyes, and comforted her, "Don't be sad... cheer up."

Bai Qingxia forced a smile and nodded gently.

She looked up at Lu Yuanqiu with a complicated expression, wiped her face with her arm, and then took Chi Caocao's hand and left in one direction: "I'll take you to practice swordsmanship."

"it is good."

Lu Yuanqiu watched the two broken sisters leave and let out a long sigh.

Today is the second day of the second lunar month, the day when the dragon raises its head.

After dinner, Lu Yuanqiu went into the school's barbershop with a smile on his face, but came out with a stiff expression.

He gazed at the moon, which had already emerged from the clouds above his head, and sighed deeply, suddenly feeling a pang of nostalgia for the hairdresser who used to work near his home.

When passing by Xia Yiwan Noodles Restaurant, Lu Yuanqiu paused, thinking that Bai Qingxia should have already returned to her dormitory by now, so he did not go in and went straight back to his own dormitory.

"Xiao Qiu, what's wrong with Xia Xia today?"

The uncle asked while mopping the floor in the dormitory.

"Huh? She... she's alright, she seems fine." Lu Yuanqiu replied evasively, sitting on the stool.

The middle-aged man raised his head, leaning on the mop with both hands: "She worked especially hard today. We've all gone home, but she's still busy. She's probably still cooking noodles at the restaurant and hasn't gone home yet."

Lu Yuanqiu recalled the scene when he paused at the restaurant entrance. Was Bai Qingxia inside at that time?

The man continued, "And tonight they even said they plan to print more flyers and expand the food delivery service to three other campuses. Isn't that a bit too much business?"

"She said that?" Lu Yuanqiu asked, somewhat surprised. The uncle nodded. "Yes, did something happen to her family that she needs money? I saw her crying today..."

Lu Yuanqiu shook his head: "No, no, no..."

After a moment's thought, he added, "Uncle, please keep an eye on things for me. Let me know whatever she's planning to do."

"Aren't you two on good terms? Why do you need me to relay your message?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanqiu withdrew his gaze, a bitter smile on his face.

This girl has an inexhaustible drive to work hard, but she won't tell me because I would feel sorry for her and would try to stop her.

The Taoist priest was reading a book when he peeked out from the bed and said, "Uncle, why do you care so much? Just do what Lu Yuanqiu tells you to do. They have their own way of getting along."

"Okay, okay, okay." The uncle nodded quickly.

He gave Lu Yuanqiu a strange look, then continued mopping the floor.

Starting from the second day, apart from class time, Lu Yuanqiu found that almost all the places where he could see Bai Qingxia were in the bustling restaurants.

This girl is working like crazy.

Lu Yuanqiu felt sorry for Bai Qingxia, but he didn't try to stop her. At this moment, anyone could persuade Bai Qingxia, but it would never be him.

Because Bai Qingxia is working hard for him, Lu Yuanqiu's advice will only backfire. However, Lu Yuanqiu doesn't know how hard she has to work to reach the end and be satisfied.

As evening fell, Lu Yuanqiu stood at the restaurant entrance and still saw that only Bai Qingxia was left in Xia Yiwan Noodles shop, bending over and busy.

Seeing her carrying the noodles toward the other customers in the restaurant, Lu Yuanqiu quickly opened the restaurant door and secretly placed a cup of hot milk tea on Xia Yiwan's counter. He cautiously observed Bai Qingxia's figure, and after placing the milk tea, he quickly left the restaurant without being noticed.

Bai Qingxia returned to the counter and was brushing her hair back when she turned her head and suddenly saw the cup of milk tea on the counter.

She picked up her apron and wiped her hands, then turned her head to look around, but didn't see anyone. However, there seemed to be a note under the milk tea, which Bai Qingxia pulled out and held in front of her.

[Special Offer by Lu Yuanqiu]

This is Lu Yuanqiu's handwriting.

Bai Qingxia suddenly smiled, then pursed her lips, and the smile slowly faded.

She held the hot milk tea in her hands and sat on the floor inside the shop, leaning against the counter.

The restaurant was quiet, with only a few customers and the "Xia Yiwan Noodles" sign still lit up.

Bai Qingxia bent her knees, sipped her milk tea, and stared blankly ahead. Fine beads of sweat on her forehead gradually gathered into a drop and slid down. Bai Qingxia raised her hand to wipe it, wiping away both the sweat and the tears that fell.

If… She sat there quietly thinking, unable to come up with a solution, but simply repeated “if” in her mind again.

There are no "what ifs" in this world, only inescapable reality and a stubborn girl.

The milk tea is so sweet... Bai Qingxia hugged her knees behind the counter and secretly wiped her eyes again.
