He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

That evening, Xu Zuo took a shower and went to Qu Yi's room, clinging to her and asking her to help him blow-dry his hair.

Qu Yi ignored him, but he clung to her and wouldn't let go, looking pitiful.

"Okay... blow-dry my hair, just this once, I'll do it for you next time, okay?"

"I don't need it," Qu Yi said, pushing him away to get the hair dryer.

"That won't do; we should reciprocate."

Qu Yi, unwilling to deal with Xu Zuo's shamelessness and persistence, simply remained silent.

The boy's hair was short and dried quickly. Qu Yi went to put away the hairdryer and when he came back, he saw a big boy wearing white long-sleeved pajamas sitting on the bed, his hands supporting him on the edge of the bed, his head slightly lowered, his thick eyelashes drooping down and covering most of the emotions in his eyes.

Xu Zuo thought for a moment and then asked, "Why am I younger than you?"

"what are you saying……"

“I’m younger than you, and I grew up abroad. By the time I came back, you were already working. I didn’t participate in your elementary, middle, high school, or university years. I had nothing. I know nothing…”

Qu Yi looked at him calmly.

Xu Zuo continued, "I ran into Brother Lu at school today..."

"Brother Lu?"

“Lu Nianshu. He talked a lot about your college days. I feel like you are a completely different person now than you were back then. So when I came back, I kept thinking about why I am younger than you. If we were the same age, maybe we could have gone to college together.”

"Did you like me when I was in college?" Qu Yi asked.

“No.” Xu Zuo shook his head firmly. “The you from college is just a piece of text to me. That’s their memory, but not mine. My memory only contains the you of now.”

"What I'm trying to say is that I not only want to be a part of your future, but I also regret not being able to be a part of your past. Isn't that... greedy?"

The room fell silent.

After a long while, a hand was placed on his head and gently rubbed his hair, which had just been dried and was still a bit messy.

"It is a bit greedy, but what if we were together in our past lives too?"

Although we just get along like friends.

Xu Zuo blinked and looked up at Qu Yi.

Her expression was very serious, as if it were the truth.

Although Xu Zuo didn't quite believe it, he was still touched by Qu Yi's unconventional comfort.

Every word she uttered was like a soft feather stirring his heart.

He could no longer restrain himself and suddenly hugged the slender waist in front of him, pressing his cheek against her body.

"You're so cute!"

"???"

A few question marks popped up above Qu Yi's head.

Isn't this the opposite?

Isn't he always the adorable one?

Compared to the sweetness between the two, 3333 outside was quite restless, constantly jumping around.

What past life?

They must be trying to comfort Xu Zuo, right?

It must be.

call!

The white puppy human-like raised its paw and patted its chest, taking a deep breath.

If others saw this, they would be shocked.

Outside, night was falling.

Xu Zuo glanced at his phone, then looked up at the window.

Remembering that the weather forecast said it would rain today, he thought for a moment and then called Qu Yi, who was having lunch with her colleagues outside.

I thought no one would answer, but the call connected after about ten seconds.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zuo picked up his car keys and went out.

It started raining when we arrived at our destination.

Xu Zuo entered the restaurant with an umbrella. Just as he was about to go up to the second floor, he saw a group of people coming down. Among them, Qu Yi was slowly walking down the stairs while holding onto the railing.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, indicating that she was a little drunk.

He strode up to her, put his arm around her shoulder, and let her lean on him.

After saying goodbye to everyone, he left with her. However, the rain was even heavier than when they came in, and he frowned.

Seeing that Qu Yi was about to walk into the rain, he quickly grabbed her arm.

“It’s raining,” he said.

"fine."

"What should we do if you catch a cold?" Xu Zuo thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his back to her, bent down, and said, "Come on up."

Qu Yi paused for a moment: "No need."

Xu Zuo: "Choose between hugging face-to-face or carrying on your back."

Her brain, still sluggish from the alcohol, was already open before she could even react.

"back."
