Quick Transmigration: Only You Are the Desire of My Heart

Chapter 5 Gentle Childhood Sweetheart VS Cold and Aloof Childhood Friend 4

On the way back after dinner, it was completely dark, and the streetlights along the road lit up one by one, stretching into the distance.

In May, the nights are still a little chilly. Occasionally, a gentle breeze rustles the leaves and carries the aroma of cooking, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The two stood side by side, neither speaking. Their long shadows intertwined under the lamplight, carrying a hint of ambiguity.

"You...why are you back today? You must be busy preparing for the competition," Song Qingyin asked, then felt a little annoyed. She wanted to find something to talk about, but it seemed like she had messed up.

This is his home, so naturally he can go back whenever he wants.

"I came back to get some things," Chu Hanxi said calmly, her voice barely rising and falling.

"I see," Song Qingyin murmured softly, her voice so low that she didn't know if the other person had heard her.

"I'm going back to school tomorrow, do you want to come with me?" Chu Hanqi asked, hidden in the darkness, his face unseen, so his expression was impossible to discern. Even his tone was indifferent, as if it were just a casual question.

"Okay," Song Qingyin was slightly taken aback, completely not expecting him to ask such a question. After realizing what he meant, she quickly agreed.

Although they were childhood sweethearts, they were both busy with their own things after starting university, and with the original owner deliberately avoiding them, they rarely even met. Even when they did occasionally bump into each other, they would only exchange a brief greeting. All in all, they probably didn't speak as much during their entire year of university as they did today.

They chatted casually, mostly with Song Qingyin trying to find topics to talk about, but fortunately Chu Hanqi would chime in, preventing any awkward silences between them.

"You're home now, I'm going back too." Seeing that they had arrived at Chu Hanqi's floor, and the elevator doors had just opened, Song Qingyin gently reminded him.

"I'll take you back first." Chu Hanxi didn't move, but instead raised her hand and pressed a button, and the elevator doors slowly closed.

“But my home is upstairs,” Song Qingyin blinked, somewhat puzzled. Chu Hanxi didn’t say anything more, but stepped out first when the elevator doors opened again.

Seeing that she had arrived home, Song Qingyin followed, taking out her keys as she walked.

"Remember to take the fever reducer again to avoid a relapse," Chu Hanqi said slowly as she watched her open the door. "I'll come and call you before I leave tomorrow."

"Get some rest," he told Song Qingyin after she went inside, then closed the door for her before leaving.

Song Qingyin was stunned for a moment, and before she could reply, she saw that her door had already closed. However, she didn't intend to open the door to take another look and turned around to go back to her room. Naturally, she didn't know that Chu Hanxi had made a phone call after turning around and leaving.

"aunt"

"Yes, she's already gone back."

Yes, I'll go back to school with her tomorrow.

"It's fine"

……

After exchanging a few brief words, he hung up the phone.

After washing up, Song Qingyin returned to her bedroom. Hearing the ringing notification sounds on her phone, she picked it up and glanced at it, only to remember that besides being a student, the original owner of this body was also a somewhat famous online novel author. The message she had just received was a reader's message urging her to update the story.

Thinking of the novel written by the original owner, Song Qingyin felt somewhat helpless, but she still sat down at her desk, opened the laptop on the desk, carefully read through the original owner's previous articles, and slowly wrote the first word of the new chapter.

Rather than a novel, it's more like a collection of essays, meticulously recording everything related to Chu Hanqi. Written in the third person, it expresses her innermost feelings, telling the story of her unspoken crush in the unknown world of the internet, as an author.

The original author's writing style was delicate, which garnered them some fans online and resonated with many people.

"After so long, once again in a space where only the two of them were together, she couldn't control her nervousness. She only managed to say two words before her palms became sweaty..."

Following the original owner's habits, after finishing today's chapter, Song Qingyin got up, stretched her body, and then collapsed onto the soft bed. Staring at the ceiling, her mind went blank…

the other side

Chu Hanqi lay on the bed, her nostrils filled with a faint fragrance, tossing and turning, but unable to fall asleep.

[Little Qingyu, Chu Hanqi is quite different from the original plot description.] Song Qingyin lay on the bed, lost in thought.

In the original storyline, the original owner was indeed sick this time, but Chu Hanqi never showed his face from beginning to end. Moreover, throughout the day, he demonstrated excellent manners and took meticulous care of everything.

[Hmm? What's different? Could it be that she didn't perform well?] Qingyu didn't notice anything unusual. In his opinion, Chu Hanxi's every move was pretty much the same as in the original story. She was aloof and her emotions didn't fluctuate much. Even when she was with her family, she didn't talk much.

No, he acted too well, even to the point of being proactive. In the original story, even though the original owner and he were childhood sweethearts, aside from being more familiar with each other than others, he never took the initiative to do anything, let alone expressed any extra concern.

This is why the original owner, despite holding a more advantageous position than others, only dared to secretly like him and never confess. Chu Hanqi was like a flower on a high mountain, indifferent to everyone, and the only care he showed was to the Chu family couple. His interactions with the original owner were merely polite because of the Chu family couple, but it was precisely this attitude that hurt the original owner the most.

Despite years of hard work, in Chu Hanqi's eyes he was no more than a stranger.

Therefore, the more outstanding Chu Hanxi was, the less courage the original owner had to confess her feelings. It wasn't out of inferiority, but out of fear. She wasn't afraid of rejection, but of the fact that even after confronting him, Chu Hanxi would only remain indifferent, because he didn't care about her feelings at all. In fact, if he discovered that the original owner was causing him trouble, he would immediately distance himself.

This was almost a fatal blow to Song Qingyin.

She's inherently proud; the sentiments she cherishes so carefully are simply not worth the effort of the person she's dealing with. If she annoys him, she'll likely be immediately removed from his social circle.

Song Qingyin explained it to Qingyu bit by bit, breaking it down into smaller parts.

[So after realizing her own feelings, the original owner of this body actively distanced herself from Chu Hanxi, yet she was unwilling to leave him completely, which is why she followed in his footsteps, silently watching from afar.]

[Then why did Chu Hanqi start dating the female lead? Was it because of her protagonist aura? It couldn't be that he was annoyed by her constant pestering and was just going through the motions, could it?]

Qingyu, in her sweet, childlike voice, analyzed the situation with utmost seriousness, unaware that sometimes the most unlikely answer is the truth.

"Who knows?" Song Qingyin yawned, squinting casually. "But does the 'female lead halo' thing really exist?"

[It exists, but it just means they have better luck than others. However, sometimes people with strong luck are indeed more likely to succeed than ordinary people.]
