Quick Wear: Reversing Life

The young man's straightforward confession caught Hou Yue off guard.

System: [I can't believe the opponent is such a straight shooter.]

She saw that under her gaze, Song Qi's ears became redder and redder, all the way to his ears, forming a sharp contrast with his fair face.

In fact, Hou Yue is unlikely to respond to such a pure confession.

In any interpersonal relationship, she is always used to being in a dominant position, used to controlling the other person and the relationship between herself and the other person. When the relationship is reversed, she will subconsciously avoid it.

The last mission and Cheng Yu's were because of her role. No matter how private her interactions with the other party were, she always felt at ease and regarded it as completing the mission.

Only this kind of situation outside of the mission made her feel a little helpless.

So seeing such a contrasting scene, she subconsciously smiled slightly and teased: "Song Qi, your ears are red again."

"I know." Song Qi said.

He could feel his ears getting hot.

After speaking his inner thoughts, the burden disappeared. He looked at Hou Yue and said seriously:

"Hou Yue, I like you."

"Everything Gao Yuxiang said is wrong. You are excellent, very strong, and very good. You deserve to be loved by everyone."

It’s terrible that Song Qi, who is not good at speaking, can say these words as well as those sweet words.

Seeing that the other person had a cold and elegant face, but his ears were red and he was making a serious confession.

Hou Yue's scalp felt numb.

Subconsciously, I want to avoid the other person.

But at this moment, the system said: [Host, you should try to open your heart to the other party.]

[This is not a virtual world. They are all real people, and you are now a real person in this world.]

Don't remove yourself from this world.

The system is right.

To ensure she didn't get too emotionally involved and complete her mission as quickly as possible, she'd always tried to remind herself to stay awake. Consequently, she'd spent all those years on the mission relying on self-restraint, keeping her heart closed and never truly communicating with anyone.

It's not like we haven't had a heart-to-heart talk before.

In her long memory, before she became a tasker.

She once gave her heart away.

...

The girl lowered her eyes and seemed to be in a trance.

Only then did Song Qi realize that his confession might be a burden to the other party.

When the heat subsided, he quickly said, "Did I offend you? I didn't expect you to respond to me, I just..."

He lowered his eyes silently and pursed his lips: "There are too many people who like you. I think I should also express my inner feelings for you, but I definitely don't mean to want you to be with me."

Hou Yue came back to her senses and blinked.

"So you just want to say that you like me, but you don't mean to be with me?"

"No, it's not..."

"So you just want to be with me?"

"I......"

"But we are still students, and we will be in our third year of high school soon."

Song Qi, who was always interrupted by Hou Yue, had to explain quickly: "We, we don't need to be together. This state is good enough now."

Hou Yue looked at him quietly.

"But, if possible, I hope we can go to college together, and then you can consider our relationship..."

"it is good."

"Okay…uh, what? You agree?"

It turns out that the aloof academic god was just his disguise. When confessing his love to the girl he liked, he stuttered and was as nervous as an ordinary boy.

The ears turned red again.

This look made Hou Yue want to tease him. She propped up her chin and looked at him with a faint smile in her eyes. "If I agree, are there any privileges I can exercise in advance?"

Song Qi's ears turned red as he thought, "I'll teach you how to do the questions."

"I don't need you to teach me." Hou Yue smiled.

Forgot, the girl’s grades are no worse than his.

Thinking about it this way, Song Qi really couldn't think of any advantages he had over Hou Yue.

The other person is good at studying, has many talents, is better at sports than him, and has a more gentle and considerate personality than him.

Seeing him thinking, Hou Yue chuckled.

I saw a white hand holding his chin and lifting his head.

"I like your looks."

"Then smile at me more often in the future."

!!!

Swish.

Song Qi's ears were as red as the clouds in the sky.

Hou Yue couldn't help but move closer and rub his neck and earlobes. The outer earlobes were just as she thought, soft and hot.

"You are really amazing." The girl's eyes sparkled: "Only your ears are red, not your face."

Song Qi lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze and felt his cheeks seemed to be getting a little hot.

The places that are touched feel like they are stimulated by electric current, making them tingle and numb, giving people goose bumps.

After a pause, he said:

"Yeah...it's been like this since I was a kid."

No wonder his image as a cold and aloof academic god remains unchanged. This handsome face has no other colors, and due to his personality, he does not have many expressions, which has cultivated his cold and indifferent temperament.

Unfortunately, he always failed in front of her.

His ears were almost rubbed to the point of being cooked by her, and Song Qi couldn't help it.

Hou Yue decided to stop while she was ahead. As soon as she let go of her hand, Song Qi grabbed her wrist.

"?"

Song Qi realized the problem and let go of his hand.

"Feel sorry."

Hou Yue withdrew her hand and her teasing intention. She asked sincerely, "When did you fall in love with me?"

Song Qi's face was a little hot: "...last semester."

"Oh, it seems I won the hearts of many boys at the New Year's Eve party." Hou Yue smiled. After the New Year's Eve party, she did receive waves of love letters.

"...No, before that."

Hou Yue was surprised: "Oh~really?"

"..."

Song Qi's ears were almost smoking.

...

He himself couldn't pinpoint when he fell in love with her. It was a gradual process, like boiling a frog in warm water. Perhaps it was the discovery of her brilliant mind while she was doing the test questions, or perhaps it was the gentle and soothing tone she used when explaining the questions to Yu Tiantian.

Song Qi is actually a person who is not very interested in love between men and women.

While his peers were beginning to explore hormones, Song Qi was only immersed in his studies. But that doesn't mean he didn't have eyes that could discover beauty.

There are beautiful girls in school and even in the same class.

But most beautiful girls have a common problem: they neglect their studies in pursuit of beauty, which leads to their empty hearts and superficial thinking.

Song Qi didn't like dealing with fools, and unless he was discussing a topic, he wouldn't socialize with them much. Firstly, he was a quiet person, and secondly, he didn't like talking to stupid people, because they couldn't explain things clearly in just a few words.

Someone once joked that he was like the male protagonist in the Taiwanese idol drama "It Started with a Kiss", smart and cool, and would definitely fall in love with a reckless and stupid girl in the future.

Although Song Qi did not refute, he did not agree in his heart.

He always believed that the circle of people in society is a barrier, and only similar people can enter the same barrier. In other words, he only appreciates people who have a common language.

But Hou Yue broke his inherent cognition.

She is beautiful, smart, and strong-willed. The more you get to know her, the more you will be attracted by her calm and composed nature.

There are countless people who like her, so naturally, he is no exception.

...

It was almost dusk when I came out of the library. The fiery clouds in the sky were layered one after another, as rich and colorful as paint piled on a palette.

Song Qi insisted on sending Hou Yue home, so the two took the subway and then the bus, and Song Qi sent her to the gate of the community.

The boy said goodbye to her gently and shyly, and Hou Yue also watched him leave.

Maybe she should try to communicate with the people in the mission world as the system said.

After all, only when she truly regards herself as a person of this world and truly integrates into the body of the client can she have true empathy and better help the client fulfill his wish to change his life.

The system spoke at the right time: [The mission progress is currently 75%, please continue to work hard.]
