In fact, when many people chose their other half, the standard of appearance had already been set.
The other half's appearance would often approach the person they liked the most without them noticing.
Because of the person she liked first, for various reasons, they could no longer be together.
Therefore, they subconsciously looked for a replacement.
Perhaps the word 'substitute' was too unpleasant to hear.
However, the truth was that this was the only way to give them a sense of familiarity, intimacy, and movement.
Shi Xiu finally understood this principle the moment he saw the photo of Guo Qianqian's boyfriend.
"Yes, it's quite good. From his looks, he's the honest and steady type. At least he won't bully you.”
His words sounded uncertain, but there was bitterness in his heart. Although the man in the photo looked a little similar to him, he was indeed a little ugly...
The lecture lasted for more than an hour. When the lecture ended, it was already six in the evening.
Guo Qianqian used the excuse that they hadn't seen each other for many years as an excuse to invite him to dinner.
Shi Xiu agreed. Although Guo Qianqian already had a boyfriend, people were just that cheap.
He still wanted to spend more time with Guo Qianqian.
The dinner venue was a restaurant in a shopping mall. During the meal, the two of them chatted and laughed. It was as if time had returned to the past and there were no secrets between them.
Suddenly, Guo Qianqian looked at Shi Xiu and said with a complicated expression,
"Actually, your facial features are still very good-looking. It's just that you haven't been exercising for the past few years, so your face has become a little chubby. I remember that when you first transferred to the class, you were still big-eyed, thin, and very likable.”
Shi Xiu smiled, but endless impulses surged in his heart!
He saw the complicated look in Guo Qianqian's eyes. It was a kind of encouragement, hesitation, regret, and reminiscence.
His heart suddenly became restless, and that impulse tempted him like a demon.
Let him confess!
However…
Shi Xiu thought back to what they had talked about during the meal earlier. They had talked about Guo Qianqian's boyfriend, his family environment, and his personal conditions. Shi Xiu could not bring himself to speak.
At the end of the day, he still had no money.
He had courage, but he also lacked courage.
This helplessness appeared in his heart for the third time. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I did put on some weight. I have to exercise more in the future.”
The atmosphere of their conversation suddenly turned cold.
Fortunately, Guo Qianqian had taken the initiative to change the topic and started to talk about life and work.
Shi Xiu seemed to have been evoked by the weakness in his heart and began to describe his experiences over the years.
As Guo Qianqian listened to his story, it was as if her heart was connected. She could always resonate with his thoughts and deeply agree with his experience. She understood why he chose to be a novelist at this time.
Soon, the two of them chatted from seven o'clock to ten o'clock at night.
When it was time to pay the bill, Guo Qianqian stopped Shi Xiu from paying. As she paid the bill, she joked to him,
"Great writer, I believe that one day, you will make a lot of money and bring me to eat delicious food. You owe me a meal. Don't go back on your word!”
Shi Xiu nodded with a bitter smile and returned home with bitterness and regret.
In the days that followed, Guo Qianqian would ask Shi Xiu to attend events from time to time.
Up until Shi Xiu's rebirth, he had never seen the boyfriend that Guo Qianqian mentioned. When he looked through her WeChat Moments, he did not see any news that was in the same frame as her boyfriend.
However, by chance, she found out from Guo Qianqian's best friend that Guo Qianqian had someone she liked before, but she had never found a boyfriend…
After listening to Guo Qianqian's self-introduction, Shi Xiu gradually understood that perhaps the purpose of this boyfriend's existence was to tell him to be more confident, take the initiative, and work harder.
He finally understood why she had taken the initiative to pay for that meal back then. Why did she say that she owed him a meal?
She was waiting for the day Shi Xiu earned money and felt a sense of security to come and look for her.
However…
Even after his rebirth, more than a year had passed since that meal, Shi Xiu was still a dead loser!
……
"Hello, everyone. My name is Guo Qianqian, and my specialty is dancing. I hope to get along well with everyone in the future.”
The classroom was filled with applause. Under the arrangement of the form teacher, Guo Qianqian sat at the table in front of Shi Xiu, just like in her previous life.
Shi Xiu spent the rest of the Chinese class reminiscing. Looking at Guo Qianqian's back, he recalled many things from his elementary school days. Some were funny, some were stupid.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
When the bell rang, Shi Xiu patted Guo Qianqian's shoulder.
Guo Qianqian turned around. He reached out his hand and said with a smile,"Hello, my name is Shi Xiu."
Guo Qianqian looked at Shi Xiu's outstretched palm in surprise.
After all, they were still young. To be honest, the etiquette of shaking hands was not quite right for their age group.
However, Guo Qianqian still smiled sweetly and shook hands with Shi Xiu.
"Hello, Guo Qianqian. Nice to meet you.”
"I'm very happy too. I'm the sports committee member of the class. If you need anything in the future, you can look for me to help you.”
Shi Xiu's expression was somewhat complicated. There seemed to be happiness, kindness, and ridicule.
Guo Qianqian had just arrived, and Shi Xiu's expression made her feel a special feeling.
At this moment, Wang Yang, who was beside him, looked at Shi Xiu expressionlessly. He deliberately smiled and reached out his hand. He said to Shi Xiu,
"Hello, Wang Yang. Nice to meet you!”
Looking at Wang Yang's slightly unfriendly gaze, Shi Xiu could not help but lower his head and laugh. He gently patted Wang Yang's hand away helplessly.
"Stop fooling around. You should be shaking hands with your new classmate!”
He suddenly remembered the last sentence at the end of the previous chapter. After he posted it, he realized that he still had to go eat and then run in the park for more than an hour…How embarrassing.
