1514 I’m Very Helpless Too! (1/2)
Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong had been walking together along the long, winding road that passed through the campus, with a shady forest of weeping willows on both sides. The atmosphere had been serene and comforting.
After Xu Que's memory had been restored, and, later, looking back on this experience, he'd remembered that he'd actually felt an inexplicable sense of nostalgia and warmth.
He hadn't talked much with Xuanyuan Wanrong. He'd walked ahead of her and reveled in the memories of his past. He'd thought that he'd finally found some peace after undergoing so many dangers and vicissitudes.
”Unfortunately, this is not the real world. It's just the world of my memory.” Xu Que sighed. Although it wasn't the real world, he could still enjoy it.
He'd recalled what Xuanyuan Wanrong had said before the System had restored his memory, and he'd guessed more or less what was going on at this moment.
The Relationship Tribulations had allowed Xuanyuan Wanrong and him to enter the world of his memory so as to compete for the position of each other's first love.
The difficulty factor was actually extremely high in this endeavor.
The first love of anyone always occupied the pride of place in their hearts. The position was one of those memories that was exceedingly cherished, and it would be very difficult to change how one felt about it.
After all, a first love symbolized everyone's purest beginnings. Naive and unsure, the first awakenings of love didn't take into consideration any of the external factors that would complicate things in later life. One only followed the heart and not physical urges... These kind of feelings would be impossible to replicate, and eventually physical urges would take over.
But most people still thought of their first loves as their best loves, precisely because they had been very pure. The memories surrounding them were always tinged with regret at chances lost, and this made them even more beautiful.
To Xu Que, who had experienced two full lifetimes, who had seen a much larger world than most people could even imagine, who had killed countless beings, and who had stepped on the path to a more enlightened life style, the past remained firmly in the past, and he no longer missed it at all.
When thinking back to his first love, Lin Yuxi, Xu Que couldn't remember their love as it had been. It didn't even awake the same sort of nostalgic feelings as this willow-lined road through campus.
Therefore, Xu Que felt that the difficulty level of this first round of Relationship Tribulations was not that high. After all, he had already restored his memory and was no longer the person he had been in the university era.
But the question remained. Was he going to be able to make himself like Xuanyuan Wanrong?
Here, the difficulty factor was really quite high.
In addition to her strength that was extremely powerful, her beauty that could be compared to Jiang Hongyan's, and her body was as hot as Liu Jingning's, what else was there good about her?
”This is tiresome, really tiresome, and it does seem ridiculous to lose my life just because I can't bring myself to like her.” Xu Que mulled it over as he walked, having a hard time finding his way out of this difficulty.
Xuanyuan Wanrong was walking behind him. She seemed a bit perplexed and even doubtful. She'd had the feeling that the Xu Que who was present now seemed a little different from the previous Xu Que, but she couldn't specifically pinpoint what the differences were.
Because actually this Xu Que appeared to be more familiar to her than the previous Xu Que.
As they'd walked along, they were getting closer to the school buildings, and the number of students that they'd encountered began to increase.
Good-looking young men like Xu Que were plentiful at the university, but it was pretty much impossible to find another extremely attractive woman with such dignified manners as Xuanyuan Wanrong in the entire country, not to mention the university.
The fact that she was also dressed in a white period costume made her especially noticeable and bound to attract attention, especially from the young men.
In fact, many of the students that passed them on their walk thought she looked like a fairy from heaven.
”D*mn, that's some girl!”
”A beautiful woman!”
”Oh. my God, she's amazing, am I dreaming? Since when does our school have such a beauty on campus?”
”Campus belle Lin is going to suddenly feel that she has been surpassed and dispatched by a rival.”
”Is that a traditional Han Chinese costume? No, I don't think that's a traditional costume. Maybe she's a famous actress?”
”Wait a minute, she seems to be following the guy in front of her!”
”Who's that guy?”
The crowd had shifted their gazes from Xuanyuan Wanrong to the guy who she seemed to be following. Soon their attention focused on Xu Que.
Someone exclaimed, ”F*ck, it's Xu Que, that b*stard!”
”Xu Que? The campus winner of the top ten singer contest, the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examinations, the guy who has taken all the scholarships for this academic year, and also the one who is in pursuit of Lin Yuxi every day?”
”D*mn, how did that fool get to know such a beautiful woman?”
”He must have conned her somehow? He is shameless. He can get away with murder.”
