Curse Love Game

"Oh, senior, you are here. I was too short to see you. Sorry."

Zhong Xiaomian's teeth were almost chattering.

"Humph, I won't argue with you."

Zhong Xiaomian stood up, and perhaps because she had been squatting for too long, she staggered.

Xu Qiubai held her waist to help her steady herself.

"Senior."

"what."

"How did you make a 1.5 meter tall person look like 1.7 meter tall?"

"You are not allowed to complain like that!"

Xu Qiubai made a zipper-like motion about his mouth.

"My photo taking software has a built-in leg stretch..."

She explained it anyway.

"Why did you come from that direction?"

The school is on the other side.

"Went to meet a friend."

Xu Qiubai felt that he couldn't tell Tang Lu about what happened, otherwise she might really get angry.

"That... Junior sister Kang Qianhui... is she really just playing a trick on you?"

Zhong Xiaomian's thoughts are extremely jumpy.

"this..."

In theory it was of course a show, but the position of Xiaobenyu in Xu Qiubai's heart was actually completely different from the beginning.

"Yes."

Xu Qiubai answered in the affirmative. He was afraid that Zhong Xiaomian really had something important to do tonight, and it would not be good to cancel the plan.

"Don't think too much. I just don't want others to misunderstand me. I really just want you to accompany me to pick up something, to my old home where I used to live, and then we'll go back to our own homes. Just treat it as your punishment for cheating me today."

Zhong Xiaomian turned half of her body away and didn't look at Xu Qiubai.

"Of course, it's already 2 o'clock when I get back, and I have classes tomorrow."

"Don't even rub your hands... We've fulfilled our previous agreement."

"Ok."

Xu Qiubai tried his best to behave like a gentleman.

"Then, let's go."

Zhong Xiaomian walked to the side of the road and started to hail a taxi.

……

"Oh, going to the suburbs over there at this time?

There aren't many families living in that area, right?

Are you going back to your hometown to steal the household registration booklet and get married?"

The driver gave Zhong Xiaomian a verbal attack as soon as he got in.

Chapter 195 The Zhong Family's Past

Zhong Xiaomian's so-called hometown was indeed a very remote place, so remote that Xu Qiubai was not sure whether it still belonged to Jianghu City when looking at the map.

It just so happened that the driver also lived there before, and after smelling the atmosphere of fellow villagers and gossip, he became even more talkative.

"I, no, who wants to steal the household registration book..."

Inside the car, from an angle that the driver couldn't see clearly in the rearview mirror, Xu Qiubai saw Zhong Xiaomian's face quickly turn red.

"What are you going to do? It's so late. Normally, you should do anything tomorrow, right? The neighborhood committee has already gone to bed."

The driver was still asking questions.

Zhong Xiaomian was a little overwhelmed and secretly kicked Xu Qiubai, who was watching the show without saying a word.

Xu Qiubai pointed at himself, meaning: "Let me take action?"

Zhong Xiaomian nodded vigorously.

OK.

Xu Qiubai gave her a gesture, indicating that he was about to help her out.

"Brother, you misunderstood. In fact, our 30-day cooling-off period has expired. We are now going back to our hometown to pack up our last belongings. We will officially get divorced tomorrow."

Xu Qiubai's acting started from zero frame, with a wry smile and a hint of relief.

"what?!"

"what???"

Two consecutive "ahs" filled the entire car with shock.

The driver straightened his back and Zhong Xiaomian's eyes opened wide.

"There's nothing we can't say, otherwise the old man will think we're doing something bad."

Xu Qiubai made a light remark, causing the driver to misunderstand the meaning of Zhong Xiaomian's "ah".

“Oh, this is really…”

"No wonder you guys got on the bus and sat so far away."

But in fact, Zhong Xiaomian was just still mad at Xu Qiubai for playing a prank on her, so she sat close to the door on purpose.

Zhong Xiaomian couldn't show any expression on her face, so she could only make a claw with her left hand and put it on the seat, looking mad from a distance.

"They used to say that marriage is the grave of love, but I haven't realized that yet. You two look so well-matched... Alas."

I don't know whether the driver was sighing or secretly comforting me.

In short, Zhong Xiaomian calmed down and became dazed.

The one-hour drive was over quickly.

On both sides of the road are old buildings that have stood the test of time, with mottled brick walls, electric poles and street lights scattered around, and in the alleys, the stone roads have been worn very smooth.

Zhong Xiaomian’s hometown is in a four-story building deep in this alley.

"Where did your parents leave this house?"

"Mom's side."

Zhong Xiaomian told Xu Qiubai some stories about her childhood.

The house was left to her mother by her grandfather.

Although my grandfather's family lives in a remote area, they are real Jianghu people and have a lot of superiority.

So even though her father was a top student from outside the country, her grandfather was never satisfied and had always wanted to separate her parents.

There is also this kind of story...

Xu Qiubai found it quite interesting.

"Your father also studied at Donghai University?"

"Are you stupid? When my dad was in college, Donghai University was just an unknown small school."

Zhong Xiaomian, who was retying her hair, rolled her eyes at him.

"Right."

Although Tunghai University has a long history, there is a very obvious watershed.

It was probably at the beginning of this century when the domestic university system was reformed that it began to take off.

His father attended one of the top three universities in Jiangsu and Shanghai at that time, and his major was the university's trump card, biomedicine, which was ranked among the best in the country.

"I think my mom is quite discerning. My dad was not only a top student, but also the most handsome guy in school. He was pursued by so many people."

According to Zhong Xiaomian, her mother is just a nursing student at a second-rate college next door. Her future life path can be foreseen at a glance, and her appearance and temperament are not particularly stunning.

Being able to obtain a master's degree in the early 21st century and being recommended for a doctorate was indeed the top talent of that era. It is hard to say who is better than whom.

Xu Qiubai also agreed.

"Then your mother is quite resourceful."

"It is said that it was my dad who took the initiative to pursue my mom."

"what?"

Xu Qiubai really didn't expect this.

After going upstairs and entering the house, the whole house is about 100 square meters, and all kinds of furniture and objects reveal a sense of oldness.

There were at least three layers of dust on the floor, and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time.

"When was the last time this room was cleaned?"

"My mother and I packed it for the New Year."

"Your dad is just there to give orders? Why don't you just go up and punch him twice, just like you punched me."

Xu Qiubai took the opportunity to make a joke, but Zhong Xiaomian didn't react. She just took out two masks from her bag and handed one to Xu Qiubai.

"My dad hasn't been here for a long time. They divorced ten years ago."

"what."

Xu Qiubai felt a little embarrassed and scratched his chin to hide his embarrassment.

"Why are you looking at me like that? You're here to sympathize with me. My parents are still here, and our relationship isn't that strained."

Oh, I forgot that my character is an orphan.
