Qin Shiqing still had a straight face.

Su Zelin sighed and said directly: "Daughter-in-law, do you know why I didn't dare to pursue you in high school, and even deliberately alienated you for a while in college?"

Qin Shiqing still didn't speak, but Su Zelin could see that this topic had successfully attracted her attention.

So the bastard continued.

"Actually, I started to like you a long time ago."

"It was the first semester of the second grade of junior high school. For many boys, it is the age when love begins."

"This kind of love is very different from being a childhood sweetheart or a friend."

"There was a time when I suddenly wanted to see you every minute, even if we met every day, whether at school or at home."

"Besides, I always try to get your attention in any way, haha."

Having said this, Su Zelin's eyes drifted into the distance and fell into nostalgia.

Qin Shiqing's pretty face, as cold as ice, unconsciously softened a lot.

She remembered very clearly that Su Zelin was indeed very naughty in the first semester of the second grade of junior high school.

Although he is usually a very active boy who cannot settle down, but for a period of time he became more aggressive and even often played pranks.

For example, he pulled her ponytail all day long in class, put earthworms in her drawers, secretly hid her books, and used a water gun next to her at home while she was doing homework...

These pranks seemed childish to Qin Shiqing, but Su Zelin never tired of them. She even annoyed her good temper several times and chased the gangsters, but Su Zelin just ran away with a playful smile.

This childish behavior gradually disappeared until I entered the third grade of junior high school.

Qin Shiqing has always been puzzled why Su Zelin was so skinny at that time.

Now she finally understood that it was the restless soul of a boy that was at work.

"However, I don't know if you like me."

Su Zelin spoke again.

"Although you have always been very kind to me, maybe because we are neighbors and playmates since childhood, you just regard me as a good friend."

Most boys are relatively slow in terms of emotions, and they only realize things later.

Although Su Zelin in this life already knew that Qin Shiqing liked him, in his previous life, he didn't realize it until he went to college.

It was precisely because he had determined the other person's thoughts that the bastard made up his mind to pursue his childhood sweetheart. Otherwise, he would not have the courage.

Because Su Zelin was afraid of being rejected by Qin Shiqing.

The gangster is not afraid of being rejected by any girl, but he is worried that when he confesses his love to Qin Shiqing, the other party will respond: "I'm sorry, Zelin, I just treat you as a friend."

Moreover, failure to express love is likely to deteriorate the intimate relationship between the two parties and even make getting along awkward.

So before going to college, he buried this secret deeply in his heart.

"What's more, when you entered high school, you became better and better, becoming the top student, the school beauty, and the object of admiration from all the boys in the school!"

"And I can't keep up with you. In the eyes of others, I'm just a bastard and a thorn in the side."

"Many people around me say this. Guys like Su Zelin have been blessed for three lifetimes, and they are so lucky to be neighbors with Qin Shiqing."

"But they are right, I am indeed not worthy of you!"

The bastard shrugged self-deprecatingly and muttered to himself.

Qin Shiqing's eyes were a little more curious. She really wanted to know about Su Zelin's mental journey.

"This is the first reason why I dare not chase you!"

Su Zelin's words made Qin Shiqing even more curious.

Just the first reason?

What is the second one?

Su Zelin continued: "In addition, I also discovered another thing!"

What's going on?

Qin Shiqing couldn't help but want to ask more questions, but she still held back because Su Zelin would tell her soon.

"Wu Qian from the next class, do you still remember?"

Su Zelin's topic suddenly changed.

Qin Shiqing nodded subconsciously.

The Wu Qian her boyfriend mentioned was also a popular figure in No. 2 Middle School at that time.

Another school beauty, although not as popular as Qin Shiqing, is still quite famous, and many boys like her.

"When I was a freshman in high school, I suddenly fell in love with Wu Qian and confessed my love to her. Of course... I was rejected."

The bastard shrugged.

This result is actually not surprising at all now that I think about it.

Although Su Zelin is handsome, can play guitar, break dance, and has a good family background, in this simple era, the most popular among girls are always those boys with good academic performance.

For example, Zhao Mingxuan had a crush on many girls when he was in the second middle school, and the topic in the girls' dormitory was also very popular.

Apart from Qin Shiqing, his childhood sweetheart, the only person who can look up to Su Zelin, a prickly person, is Huang Panpan, a girl with the same independent personality.

Not long after he entered high school, he got into a group fight with an athletic student, and was punished by the whole school. The gangster had a very bad stroke in the second grade at that time. It would be hard to describe him as infamous. Wu Qian didn't have the slightest fondness for him, so how could she accept it.

"In addition to Wu Qian, during that time I also sent love letters to several beautiful girls in No. 2 Middle School. Although they all ended up being rejected, I found that I am a person who is greedy for novelty."

"After realizing this, I fell into panic. If I really pursue you and you accept it, will one day I will like other women again, or even have a second woman outside."

"I asked myself this question, but I couldn't get an answer."

"But I know one thing. If that day comes, you will definitely be heartbroken."

"However, I can't control myself and always want to get closer to you."

"So, before you graduate from high school, I really hope you can take the Qingbei exam. As long as we go to college and are far apart, there will naturally be no bonds."

Having said this, Su Zelin let out a long sigh.

A hint of surprise flashed through the beauty Qin Shiqing, but it was not entirely unexpected.

Because Yan Qiuwen had already analyzed for her during her freshman year that Su Zelin's attitude toward her was completely different from what her roommate had speculated.

The gangster smiled bitterly and said: "However, things went against our wishes. You ended up going to Zhejiang University, and I was admitted to the School of Finance. We are both in Lin'an."

"When I learned the result, I was both happy and worried. What I'm happy about is that we are still in the same city for four years in college and have many opportunities to meet. What I'm afraid of is that I won't be able to help but get close to you and hurt you!"

"I struggled for a long time and finally made a decision. I naively thought that as long as I was indifferent to you, kept my distance, and just treated you as a friend, I could avoid unpleasant things happening."

"It was a very difficult time. I could only invest my time in other places and distract myself, so I ran for class president and founded New Century to keep myself busy with class affairs and entrepreneurship."

Su Zelin was determined to be the squad leader back then. In addition to wanting to change the fate of the financial management class, he also had some reasons for Qin Shiqing.

Including entrepreneurship.

There are so many ways for him to make money. He can achieve financial freedom by just investing in a few stocks with his eyes closed, so there is no need to work hard.

In addition to a sense of accomplishment, starting a business also requires a lot of energy. When you are busy, it is easier to let go of your feelings for your childhood sweetheart.

"But even so, it's still not easy to control this feeling. I will still miss you often and can't help but find various reasons to convince myself to see you."

"I have impulsively wanted to confess to you countless times, but in the end I held back because I knew it was not a wise move."

Su Zelin paused for a moment, and then said slowly: "At that time, Yuwei appeared, and she was very good to me. I naively thought that as long as I had other women, I would naturally not have any feelings for you anymore.

Thoughts will never hurt you again!"

When the bastard said this, Qin Shiqing suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and she finally spoke: "You mean, before me, you and Song Yuwei..."

"Yes, that was my sophomore year."

Su Zelin nodded slightly.

Qin Shiqing's head was buzzing instantly.

She always thought that she was Su Zelin's first girlfriend, and Song Yuwei was the third one, but things seemed different from what she imagined.

Song Yuwei and Zelin were together when they were sophomores. Wouldn’t the person who interfered become me?

However, neither Song Yuwei nor Zelin ever mentioned this matter!

Qin Shiqing has a big question in her heart, and even if she is as smart as she is, she still can't figure it out.

Seeing her doubts, Su Zelin simply explained: "The relationship between Yuwei and I has never been public. Before we got together, I told her that I was not a good man and could not give her any status, but Yuwei did not

I don’t care, but I’m still willing to accept it and stay by my side.”

Qin Shiqing was still in a state of shock, and Su Zelin's words had a huge impact on her.

Although Su Zelin did not admit that Song Yuwei was his girlfriend, in a sense, she did become his childhood sweetheart before him, and he was the latecomer.

"I originally planned to tell you about this, but I didn't have the courage, and I found that you seem to have fallen in love with me. If you knew about this, you might feel uncomfortable."
