Time Travel: Super Player

Chapter 20: An Adventure on a Blind Date

"Oh, I am..." Roger nodded, stood up and pulled out a chair for the other party, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Ah. Thank you, just water will do."

The girl put her handbag on her legs, her fingertips were a little white, and she was obviously a little nervous.

Roger smiled and asked the waiter for a glass of mineral water.

Although this blind date was just a formality, he had a good impression of the girl in front of him at this moment.

While Roger was talking to the waiter, the girl in the yellow skirt was also looking at him secretly. A trace of surprise suddenly flashed in her clear eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she asked carefully: "Excuse me... Are you Roger?"

Hearing the other party call out his full name, Roger couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at the other party carefully for a while again, and then he vaguely found a sense of familiarity from the delicate eyebrows.

"Are you... Bai Xuerou?"

Roger was also surprised. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance on a blind date.

This Bai Xueluo was the monitor of his class in high school. She was not only good at studying, but also very beautiful.

Because of her very white skin, she was privately called "Snow White" by students. At that time, she was almost the dream lover of all the boys in the school, and even had many admirers from other schools.

Luo Jie remembered that Bai Xueluo in her previous life seemed to have been admitted to a well-known university in Beijing, and then there was no news, but he did not expect to meet her again in this embarrassing way in this life.

After confirming Luo Jie's identity, Bai Xueluo was obviously relieved and smiled slightly: "I just looked a bit like you, but I didn't expect it was really you... By the way, why did you come to a blind date? Where is Xiaoshi? I heard that you were admitted to the same university. Are you not together now?"

"Xiaoshi..."

Luo Jie scratched his face, which was why he was embarrassed.

Xiaoshi was his girlfriend in high school and also Bai Xueluo's deskmate. It was because of this relationship that Bai Xueluo was so familiar with him.

Seeing Roger's hesitant expression, Bai Xueluo realized that she had asked a question she shouldn't have asked, and hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I just asked casually, after all, Xiaoshi and I haven't been in touch for a long time..."

Roger shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's all in the past, there's nothing to be said... We broke up when we were about to graduate, and she went to the south with a senior from the previous class. Of course, there's no right or wrong, it can only be said that the two people have different ideas about life."

"Is that so, what a pity." Bai Xueluo agreed, not quite understanding, and did not continue to ask.

Perhaps in Bai Xueluo's opinion, Roger is in the period of injury, but in fact, for the reborn Roger, this matter is already a long-standing past seven or eight years ago. He can't even remember what his first girlfriend looks like, so naturally there is nothing to be sad about.

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you... Bai Da class monitor, why did you come to a blind date?"

Roger's tone was a bit joking, but he was indeed a little curious.

After all, with Bai Xueluo's excellent personal conditions, not to mention that she has a lot of suitors, but at least she shouldn't fall to the tragic point of needing blind dates to solve personal problems.

"Ah, this..."

This time it was Bai Xueluo's turn to be embarrassed. She crossed her slender jade fingers back and forth for a few times, and seemed to be hesitating whether to tell Roger.

"If it's not convenient to say it, forget it."

Roger smiled indifferently. He was just going through the motions, so he wouldn't force anyone.

Bai Xueluo bit her lip subconsciously, took a deep breath, and stared at Roger as if she had made a great determination. She asked with a very serious expression: "Roger, can you answer a question for me truthfully? Are you serious about this blind date?"

Roger was a little surprised and didn't understand what Bai Xueluo wanted to express with this question. After thinking about it, he still said truthfully: "Actually, I was caught by someone to cover for the shift. I wanted to go through the motions and leave, but I didn't expect to meet you, the squad leader Bai..."

Hearing Roger say this, Bai Xueluo couldn't help but let out a long breath, and a relieved expression appeared on her face.

"Roger, can you do me a favor?"

"You say."

If it's not too much trouble, Roger doesn't mind doing this old classmate some small favors.

"Pretend that this blind date is successful, pretend... we are boyfriend and girlfriend." Bai Xueluo's fingers unconsciously twirled the ends of her hair, her face flushed, and she was very embarrassed, "And it is very likely that I will have to trouble you to accompany me to meet my family in the future... I also know that this matter will definitely make you very embarrassed, but I really have no other way."

Roger was stunned for a long time before saying, "I can help, but can I know the reason?"

Since she was asking for help, Bai Xueluo couldn't hide anything anymore, and sighed softly, "Actually... I have a boyfriend."

Roger felt that he couldn't understand this class monitor Bai more and more, and asked in confusion, "Then why did you come to a blind date?"

If Bai Xueluo hadn't confessed on her own initiative, he would have almost suspected that this class monitor was actually looking for a backup.

Bai Xueluo shook her head, and a meaningless bitter smile appeared on her face.

"For some special reasons, I can't bring him to my family, and I can't even let my family know about his existence..."

Roger nodded, not quite understanding, and had a rough guess in his mind. It was probably because the man's conditions were not very good, and Bai Xueluo was afraid that her parents would forcibly separate the two after knowing it, so she had to resort to this last resort.

"Then... How long do you plan to keep it a secret?"

"I don't know either." Bai Xueluo shook her head again, her beautiful eyes revealing a little confusion, "Now I can only take it one step at a time... But from my understanding of my parents, I'm afraid they will never accept that person."

It sounds like a third-rate bitter drama from the 1990s... Could it involve some grievances between the two generations of parents?

But no matter how bloody the plot is, it is someone else's private matter after all. Roger did not express any opinion and continued to be a spectator.

After chatting about their recent situation, Roger and Bai Xuerou exchanged their phone numbers, WeChat and other contact information, and hurriedly ended this blind date that was not sure whether it was a success or a failure.

…

Two days of rest passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the evil Monday again.

Under Roger's constant urging, Luo Lu finished the weird-looking nutritious breakfast in front of her with a bitter face, and then reluctantly carried the pink Peppa Pig backpack and boarded the school bus parked at the gate of the community.

"Roger, I hate you! Why can't you get rich overnight and let me live a decadent life without studying and having money to spend?"

Complaints are complaints, but those who should leave have to leave.

Luo Lu is studying in a boarding school that integrates kindergarten and preschool. Sending this little girl away means that Roger has five full days of private time.

It's time to go to the player market.
