Curse Love Game

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Move them up! Put the valuables at the end and pack them in waterproof bags before moving!"

A bearded middle-aged man in a gray raincoat was directing a group of porters in black raincoats to move various items in Yueyi Flower Shop.

This is not the scene Xu Qiubai wants to see.

Xu Qiubai ran to the flower shop and saw the lock he bought thrown casually in the corner. The sticky note on the ground was also torn to pieces by the wet feet of many workers.

Xu Qiubai patted the bearded man on the shoulder and asked, "Brother, did the owner ask you to move the things? Where is she now?"

"I don't know! You two should pay attention and hold on to the bottles and jars!"

The bearded man answered without turning his head, and continued to direct the workers.

"I put this lock on. If you just say you don't know, I might waste more of your time." Xu Qiubai pointed to the lock on the ground.

The bearded man was obviously a little impatient. After half an hour of moving, seven or eight people came over to ask questions.

"My boss asked me to move. I asked someone to open the lock and I also asked my boss about it. I really didn't notice where she is now. Is that clear enough?!"

The bearded man stared at Xu Qiubai for two seconds, and seeing that he had no desire to ask further questions, he continued to work.

"Thank you, I'm sorry to disturb you at work." Xu Qiubai nodded and thanked me.

The bearded man waved his hand.

There is a high probability that Liu Xunyue is nearby.

Xu Qiubai walked out of the store holding an umbrella and stood on the bicycle lane a little further away waiting.

Xu Qiubai's idea was correct. About ten minutes later, through the gloomy rain, Xu Qiubai caught a familiar face in sunglasses at Yueyi's second-floor window.

"Sister Yue——" Xu Qiubai took a deep breath and shouted loudly towards the second floor.

The sound covered the sound of rain in the air and the noise on the first floor, and accurately reached Liu Xunyue on the second floor.

Liu Xunyue's body trembled and she looked in the direction of Xu Qiubai.

Xu Qiubai waved his hand.

Liu Xunyue opened her red lips slightly, but the next second, she lowered her head, no longer looking at Xu Qiubai, and touched the window pane with both hands, as if she was going to close the window and leave.

Xu Qiubai made a prompt decision and immediately threw away the umbrella in his hand. He was exposed to the rain and looked straight towards the second floor.

Liu Xunyue immediately stopped closing the window, and her right palm gradually clenched. Before she could make a fist, she disappeared through the window.

A minute later, Liu Xunyue, dressed in a shirt and trousers with her long hair tied up, looking like a female boss, walked around the workers who were moving things and appeared at Yueyi's door.

She paused where she was, but finally opened the beige umbrella in her hand and quickly walked up to Xu Qiubai.

Xu Qiubai very consciously got under her umbrella at the first opportunity:

"Long time no see, Sister Yue." Xu Qiubai smiled after a long time.

Liu Xunyue did not smile as warmly as usual, but subconsciously shrank back and handed the umbrella to Xu Qiubai.

Xu Qiubai thought that he was asked to hold the umbrella, but after Liu Xunyue handed the umbrella to Xu Qiubai, she immediately walked out and picked up the umbrella that Xu Qiubai had just thrown away.

I don't want to share an umbrella with Xu Qiubai.

Xu Qiubai frowned and decided to close the umbrella again.

"Don't be like this, Xiao Xu, you're not a child anymore." Liu Xunyue finally spoke, but her voice was no longer as gentle as before.

"Then what am I?" Xu Qiubai opened the umbrella again, looked at her and asked back.

"You are yourself." Liu Xunyue's words were calmer than the previous one.

"Okay." Xu Qiubai did not deny this point of view.

"But you have to tell me what you are doing?" Xu Qiubai pointed to the bustling scene in front of the store.

"For some reasons, the store is closed."

“Where will we go if we don’t open a shop?”

"I have other work." Liu Xunyue answered every question at the same speed.

"A very far place." Before Xu Qiubai asked, she took the initiative to add a sentence.

"Can I visit you occasionally, for example, on the last day of September every year?" Xu Qiubai finally brought up an important topic.

But to Xu Qiubai's disappointment, Liu Xunyue was only silent for a short while. Xu Qiubai was not even sure whether her eyes under her sunglasses were still looking at him.

"That day... was just an accident."

"And... there won't be time." Liu Xunyue's voice became low and she shook her head slightly.

What made Xu Qiubai most uneasy was that he seemed to be able to hear that this was the truth and not an excuse made up casually.

At this moment, Xu Qiubai's face turned truly ugly.

Is this really going to turn into a dead end?

"Xiao Xu."

Liu Xunyue raised her slightly rough palm, but the hand ultimately did not fall on Xu Qiubai, and just waved gently in the air.

"Take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, Liu Xunyue finally smiled. The smile was still gentle, but there was no favoritism or pain in it.

To stay or not to stay?

To retain someone, you need a reason, but what’s more important is... proof.

At this time-

"Boss! Does this need a waterproof bag?"

A young mover asked the bearded man while holding up a special vase.

"My God! Hold it steady! Can't you tell at a glance that this is imported high-end merchandise?! Go get the softest bubble bag to put it in, and then pack it in a foam box!"

Xu Qiubai, who was in a dilemma, was attracted by the loud voices of the two people, and then he never looked away.

Xu Qiubai recognized that vase; it was the glass vase that Liu Xunyue liked the most.

But at this moment, the vase is not the point, the point is what is in the vase.

It was a bunch of blood-red roses that were half-wilted.

Xu Qiubai was 100% sure that this was the bouquet that he had not given away a week ago and had thrown heavily on the ground.

At the same time, it was the bouquet that Xu Qiubai gave to Liu Xunyue when he confessed his love at 9:58.

Before leaving that day, Xu Qiubai soaked it in a cup of water.

On the 4th, I changed the water.

On the 6th, Xu Qiubai thought again and again and did not clean it out with the withered branches.

But at this moment, the waste bin in front of the store was filled with blood-red roses that were much less wilted than this bouquet.

Only it was placed in the most beautiful glass bottle.

The rotten petals on the outside were trimmed, and several branches that were bent and broken by Xu Qiubai were also carefully treated, so that it still looks like it can represent the splendor of love.

Only she can do this craft.

Xu Qiubai suddenly had the answer in his mind.

Chapter 7 Reversal

Temporarily putting aside Liu Xunyue's gradually receding figure, Xu Qiubai ran to the pet shop next door and borrowed a small stool.

Taking a small stool and choosing a spot, Xu Qiubai sat down on the steps by the roadside, facing Yueyi's gate, and quietly watched the bearded man directing the workers to move things in and out.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu Xunyue came out of the store again, dragging a suitcase in her hand, and seemed to have made all preparations to leave.

Of course, I also saw Xu Qiubai sitting on the side of the road.

As if she was sighing softly, she put down her suitcase, held an umbrella and came to Xu Qiubai.

She considered her words: "Xiao Xu..."

But he was immediately interrupted by Xu Qiubai.

"Xunyue, I want to be alone for a while." Xu Qiubai's voice was rarely emotional.

But Liu Xunyue lost her mind because of Xu Qiubai's words, and her body couldn't stop shaking a few times.

"Xiao Xu...don't call me that..."

"It won't be a few minutes yet, there's no need to correct it anymore." Xu Qiubai replied calmly.

"..."

"you're right..."

Liu Xunyue's heartbeat gradually calmed down.

But seeing Xu Qiubai staring at Yueyi's door, she couldn't help but speak again:

"Xiao Xu, don't sit here."

"My presence here won't hinder their work or traffic."

Xu Qiubai gently gestured with his hands to indicate the distance from the movers and the driveway.

“But it’s still raining...”

"I held the umbrella well."

Xu Qiubai tugged at his collar again, indicating that no raindrops were getting in.

Now it was Liu Xunyue's turn at a loss for words. Xu Qiubai at this moment was completely different from the time when he deliberately abandoned his umbrella and forced him to go downstairs.

"Now that you're gone, I should also think about where to go in the future." Xu Qiubai suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean...? Of course you are going back to school." Liu Xunyue directly expressed the doubts in her mind.

"School...haha, I'm going to be expelled soon." Xu Qiubai suddenly laughed with relief.

"how come?!"

Liu Xunyue was really surprised. After spending a month with Xu Qiubai, she knew him well. How could he, who was usually gentle and hardworking, fall to such a state? It was only a month after the start of the school. Unless he violated school rules and regulations in a large number of serious ways, he would not be expelled from the school? !
