What should I do if I continued the romance with Lily?

Want to fall in love.

Qiao Yu has had this idea for a long time, and if she speaks out about this matter, it may cause a shock among her friends. After all, she is the kind of person who is more interested in career in the hearts of everyone. She has been in a relationship for so many years. She has never experienced it before, who would have thought that this iron tree of hers has been holding a heart that wants to bloom for many years.

It has been said that for so many years, in fact, in her world, her age is considered to be the one that has just reached adulthood-as a world with a very high technology tree in the parallel world, Qiao Yu's world probably branched out at about the same time. Earlier, the residents of this world now have extremely long lifespans, and centenarians who would be respected in other worlds abound on the basketball court here.

In fact, every aspect of daily life is not very different from the parallel worlds Qiao Yu saw at work, but technology is mainly reflected in some strange details.For example, due to the substantial increase in life expectancy, people's memory has also improved to a certain extent, but there will always be times when they are unable to remember certain things due to the long time span.So the solution to this problem is a medical measure, which is designed to help people organize their memories, remember what they want to remember, and selectively forget those very insignificant memories.

You can choose to organize it every few years to ensure that you remember what you want to remember, and clear up the fragmented memory to make room for it—for example, she clearly said not to put the lunch at noon The onion was still put, so there is really no need to keep it in memory.

Qiao Yu frowned, and began to pick the onion out of the noodle soup with difficulty.

Yes, in terms of food, there is nothing in science fiction novels where using pills or the like to maintain energy is enough. If you want Qiao Yu to say that the world has really reached that situation, it can only be said to be a huge regress.If you can't even eat it, what's the point in this world?

The topic is getting far away, in short, Qiao Yu wants to fall in love, and has been thinking about it for many years.

Of course, the object was that person from beginning to end, but so far it has failed.

"Qiao Yu! Help!"

Just as she was concentrating on picking green onions, a colleague suddenly sat down on the empty seat in front of her, leaned on the table and rushed towards her, causing Qiao Yu to fall back in fright.

"In that doomsday world, I found the wrong host!"

He was not familiar with this colleague on weekdays, and Qiao Yuyun listened to him sweating profusely as he finished the whole story in a fog, while muttering in his heart that it could be wrong, he smiled politely.

"I see, I will secretly compile a system for you."

"Grateful!"

The colleague clasped his hands together, and then smiled flatteringly.

"Then, I may have to borrow you as the host candidate this time..."

"Why, can't you use yourself?"

"I can't help it! In that world, you and Lin Qingcongye are classmates, but I have nothing to do with you!"

After listening to his explanation again, from the convenience of Qiao Yu's identity to how well Qiao Yu met the requirements in that parallel world, Qiao Yu had a headache when he said it, and his face was getting cold, so he had no choice but to respond and looked at his colleagues. Leaving happily.

When it comes to host selection, they have always had an unwritten rule, which is to give priority to choosing themselves in the parallel world.

This rule is not based on any well-intentioned considerations, it is simply because it is easier to control the behavior of the host in this way. Although depending on the world, even the same person may have different personalities, but it is better than picking someone who is completely different. It is better for someone who understands to be the host.

Sighing that he was going to be unlucky in another world, Qiao Yu had time to pick up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, thinking casually, let himself write a novel with Lin Qing and Cong Ye as the protagonists, this is called What's the matter.

She was unknowingly aroused a little interest.

"Oh yes, yes, why are you eating here by yourself, Qiao Yu."

... Today's lunch was really unsettling, Qiao Yu frowned, and looked at the second person who sat in front of him dissatisfied.

"Because Lin Qing was called by her mother at noon—what do you want me to do?"

"Can't I come to have dinner with you if I have nothing to do! You are really..."

Cong Ye muttered and picked up the spoon, and stuffed a spoonful of curry rice into his mouth, his movements seemed a little fidgety.

"...I don't know why the article I was following has been discontinued recently."

"It's you!"

Unable to hold back the words, Qiao Yu stared dumbfoundedly at Cong Ye, who was full of confusion. Combined with the colleague's explanation just now, he finally figured out the key point.

...So it was the colleague who took Mi Yi away and the update was interrupted, and the boss who was chasing the article turned out to be one of the protagonists in the book, Cong Ye?

Not to mention how that colleague knew that Cong Ye was chasing that article - Qiao Yu's eyes changed when he saw Cong Ye, full of complexity.

"Didn't I say, you're just chasing Lin Qing and your own fanart, isn't this kind of behavior a bit too... so what?"

"?! Why would you know!"

Regardless of Cong Ye's shock, Qiao Yu shrugged and ate noodles on his own, until Cong Ye realized that it was a public place and calmed down on his own.

"...cough, it's mainly..." He stammered, and suddenly he became dejected, "...the main reason is that he couldn't hold it back. You have to find some spiritual comfort after being rejected."

"What a fool who hit the south wall and didn't know how to look back."

Qiao Yu snorted mercilessly, and looked away calmly.

Regarding her relationship with Cong Ye, it is quite complicated.

To put it simply, both of them are Lin Qing's suitors, but everyone knows that Cong Ye is pursuing Lin Qing, and that Qiao Yu likes Lin Qing is probably only known to her and Cong Ye.

And Cong Ye knew that this incident was purely accidental. She and Cong Ye met when they were in college. At that time, Cong Ye's affection for Lin Qing was completely undisguised, which made Qiao Yu feel a great sense of crisis. Finally made up his mind to write a love letter in a very old way, and put it in Lin Qing's textbook.

As a result, Lin Qing's book was borrowed from Cong Ye.

When Cong Ye approached with an apologetic face, Qiao Yu really wanted to forcefully drag him to the hospital to have his memory erased.

But what gave her a little comfort was that Cong Ye was officially rejected by Lin Qing at that time, so her sense of crisis subsided a little, and the love letter that had been seen by her rival was not sent.

After that, the two formed a delicate relationship of mutual checks and balances and mutual hand in hand. After all, Lin Qing——in a good way, she is an inaccessible flower of the high mountains, but honestly, she can only be said to be a watertight iron wall. Those who approached the past thoughtfully said no with gentle smiles.

For example, the unrepentant Cong Ye was cryptically rejected for the fourth time a few days ago.

They have gradually changed from a hostile relationship to an inexplicable sense of alliance. How should I put it, it is not a bad thing to have a friend who can speak out and express his thoughts.

"I thought there was something going on this time. I saw that she bought the drink I recommended a while ago..."

"Ah, that, she said that because it's too bad to drink, it can refresh your mind instead."

"Is it hard to drink?!"

Cong Ye was hit hard.

"What are you going to do this time? Shouldn't you also give up?"

Hearing Qiao's high-pitched tone, Cong Ye gritted his back molars resentfully, and retorted.

"So what about you, are you still going to tell me?"

"... Leave me alone."

Being precisely caught at the gate of life, Qiao Yu stalked for a moment, turned his head away, and felt that the noodles in his mouth tasted like chewing wax.

Qiao Yu and Lin Qing had known each other since childhood.

They are real childhood sweethearts here. They have been together since they couldn't speak clearly, then they went to school together, and now they work together again, and they have never been separated in the middle.

She couldn't tell Qiao Yu exactly when she fell in love with Lin Qing. She just realized one day that she had seen almost all of Lin Qing's appearances, except for the man who fell in love.

When they went to school together in the next day, Qiao Yu threw this topic to Lin Qing like a joke. At that time, Lin Qing was already outstanding, and rumors of ruthlessly rejecting suitors were also well-known in school. .At that time, she only wanted to make a joke, but Lin Qing thought about it seriously and looked at her.

'Want to see it? '

'……Eh? '

'If you want to see it, maybe I can if I work hard. '

Thinking was blank at that moment, Qiao Yu stared at her serious eyes for a long time before forcing a smile, saying that this is not something that can be done with hard work, but her heart was in a mess.

wrong.

She doesn't want to look.

Lin Qing fell in love with someone, she didn't seem to want to see it at all.

'Yeah.Speaking of which, I haven't seen anyone you fall in love with? '

Qiao Yu concealed the uncertainty in her heart very well, but Lin Qing didn't notice it, and held her hand coquettishly and shook it.

'...Let's talk about it later. '

She tried her best to bring this topic over naturally, praying that her heartbeat was not transmitted to Lin Qing through the palm of her hand.

Lin Qing has seen it.

Qiao Yu understood at that moment. From now on, what Lin Qing saw in Lin Qing's eyes would be the way she fell in love with someone.

She chose to be honest with herself in the later years, but she couldn't be honest with Lin Qing anyway.

"Now is not the time to talk about me. I'm seriously telling you that it's time to give up."

Swiping away the memory, Qiao Yu sighed lightly and said to Cong Ye.

"It's too late. I know you're not a bad person, and Lin Qing knows it too. That's why she can stay and work here on the premise that you are the son of the boss of this company. You must know that she always treats people who reject her with respect." quite a distance."

"But Cong Ye, if you go on like this, which side do you think Lin Qing and I will be unable to bear first?"

"...Woo, I see, I will restrain myself."

Cong Ye lowered his head honestly, Qiao Yu always looked at him with the feeling that he was looking at his future, and there was a little more sympathy in his tone.

"Look, the probability of you and Lin Qing being together in other parallel worlds is quite high—isn't the article you're reading just documentary literature? You can just look at the Renren, although it's a bit empty."

"I always feel like I'm being mocked."

I don't know why the fact that I read (similar) fanfiction was leaked, Cong Ye asked annoyedly as he stirred the food on his plate.

"Can you resist not seeing the world where you and Lin Qing are together?"

"of course."

Qiao Yu spoke decisively, swallowed the last mouthful of noodles slowly, and looked up at him with helplessness in his eyes.

"Because since I started researching parallel worlds until now, I haven't found any world with such a development."

"There is no such world for me to see."

Qiao Yu felt a little pain in his face.

She received an error report from the system, and when she touched it to find the reason, she finally found that the direction of the world was becoming strange.

Qiao Yu silently emphasized to herself repeatedly that this was a need for work, so she consciously worked overtime that day to check the information stored in the system before the virus from beginning to end. ,

Qiao Yu is a scientist, the kind that everyone would write about when they wrote essays on the theme of "future dreams" in elementary school. She is mainly responsible for the research direction of parallel worlds. For this reason, she will make many such systems as the parallel worlds. Agents, they are not just simple codes, but closer to complete artificial intelligence, which can learn to have feelings, and may indeed be influenced by the host during the day and night with the host.

But like this... This is the first time Qiao Yu has seen a system that has been affected to have doubts about fundamental tasks.

This question was answered after she read the message, Qiao Yu let out a long breath, and stared blankly in the empty office late at night.

...It's a bit bad, she seems to understand Cong Ye's mood.

This is how it feels to see Qiao Yu and Lin Qing falling in love in a parallel world!

Qiao Yu held his forehead in confusion, the video data he saw just now lingered in his mind.

Lin Qing had that expression when she fell in love with someone.

"..."

Qiao Yu stood still for a moment, and slowly covered her eyes with her hands.

It was an expression she had never seen on her Lin Qing's face before.

She may have realized long ago during this long secret love process that her Lin Qing still doesn't seem to understand how to love someone.

'I do not like you. '

Lin Qing's usual way of rejecting people is always this sentence, straightforward and never procrastinating.But when Qiao Yu tentatively asked what kind of person she would like, she would show a confused and illusory smile.

'...I don't know, maybe I'll know it when I meet it. '

You'll know it when you meet it.That is to say, I haven't encountered it yet.

They are childhood sweethearts.

So Qiao Yu hid her unspeakable thoughts, dutifully acted as an ordinary childhood sweetheart, always by her side, but could only keep a distance of two steps.

Closer than anyone, but farther than anyone else.

Over there, Qiao Yu fell in love with Lin Qing before but couldn't tell because of the task, what about herself?I dare not say it myself.

Qiao Yu sometimes even envies Cong Ye, at least he can express his affection to Lin Qing enthusiastically and frankly, but she is imprisoned in the shackles of her childhood sweetheart, not daring to take a step further, a voice in her heart says: Compared with You won't get anything after you say it, and that's enough for now.

enough.

Qiao Yu put down his hand covering his eyes, and turned his gaze to the light screen in front of him with complex codes scrolling. The hand on the delete key failed to press it for a long time.

……never mind.

She finally moved her hand away and reprogrammed the system, allowing the "virus" to be embedded naturally.

It doesn't matter even if it is discovered, people always have selfishness.

"It would be great if you two could be happy."

Qiao Yu murmured, then sat quietly until dawn.
