Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 66 66. Red Rose

Ding Dong Dong~
The doorbell downstairs rang.

Guan Yongyi had just washed her face and was wearing only a sky blue nightgown. Water droplets hung on her rosy cheeks, and slow notes were flowing out of the speakers in the room.

Being alone is really an extremely happy thing.

There was still alcohol in her system, so when she walked unsteadily towards the entrance in her slippers, she was startled by the figure standing in the surveillance camera.

Lu Jincheng?!

The man who had disappeared for half an hour reappeared and extended his hand to her when they met.

"Why are you back again?"

Guan Yongyi opened his eyes wide.

"Here, the band-aid on your hand isn't waterproof, I went downstairs and bought a new box."

Lu Jincheng looked down at her with a smile on his face.

"It's unnecessary. I've already touched the water."

Guan Yongyi curled her lips but reached out to accept his kindness.

"It doesn't matter. You still have to wash up when you wake up tomorrow."

The two of them were standing opposite each other at the door, too close to the corridor, and the sound of their talking turned on the voice-controlled light.

All of a sudden, a pale yellow light sprinkled on the two of them. Lu Jincheng faced her against the light, and a layer of filter was applied between his brows.

Looking at Lu Jincheng who had returned, the short-haired girl felt an inexplicable impulse.

"Come in. Have a drink of water?"

"Okay."

The man raised his eyebrows.

The room has been roughly tidied up by Guan Yongyi, and the modern decoration adds a touch of girlish warmth.

A familiar melody is flowing in my ears, it is Eason Chan's "Same Time, Next Year".

"I have used up all my luck to meet you in this moment of my life~"

He sat in the middle of the sofa, relaxed, his back pressed against the soft pearl cotton, and hummed softly along with the melody.

"You can also sing vernacular songs?"

Guan Yongyi brought a glass of warm water and a bottle of Coke from the living room.

"This song is quite unpopular. It's not as popular as "Ten Years"."

"Ten Years" is the Mandarin version of "Same Time, Next Year". It is very popular and everyone, young and old, male or female, can hum a few lines.

"I used to like that song very much, but later I was easily moved by the lyrics, so I changed to listening to Cantonese."

Lu Jincheng smiled.

When I was young, I was particularly eager to touch myself ten years later.

At that time, I listened to Eason Chan’s song of the same name many times, and I always felt that "ten years" was a very romantic word.

Just like a knight who has never left the martial arts world, he is looking forward to holding a sword called Ten Years.

But after ten years, I looked back and was shocked to realize that what I held in my hand was just a handful of rusty iron.

"Pretend to be serious."

The scumbag's voice seemed to be gently wrapped in the night, with a rustling magnetism.

Guan Yongyi concluded while biting a Coke straw.

When the song ended, Lu Jincheng immediately stood up and said goodbye, with no intention of staying any longer.

It was as if he was just drinking water.

"You can say goodnight this time."

"Good night."

She waved at the door, walked through the living room, and said goodbye again with her eyes.

She came like the wind, left her things behind and left. He was worried that he had not been able to kill her before, so he gave her another stab.

Jiangnan Home Community, which is only separated from Nanhu University by a road and has good environmental greening and supporting facilities, is the first choice for school faculty and staff to buy houses.

That’s right, the reason why Guo Minjie met Lu Jincheng by chance was because she also lived in this community.

20 buildings.

"How about next time? I'm really tired today." In the master bedroom, a wedding photo was hung above a huge double bed. Guo Minjie had a bright smile in the photo.

"Next time, next time, we've been married for three months!"

Guo Minjie spoke in a resentful voice, her eyes fixed on the man lying on the bed.

"I went to the drugstore today and bought the genuine product. Let's try it again, okay?"

"No! I told you I'm too tired from work. These medicines are all pirated and useless!"

The round-faced man had a beard and a sturdy build without obvious muscle lines. He had a big round belly and looked like a bear from a distance.

He frowned and said in a shrill voice, "How can you make your husband take medicine every day? Are you Pan Jinlian? Did you do this on purpose?"

"Other people don't work hard! Only you work hard?"

Guo Minjie, who was always gentle and respectable, was overwhelmed with emotion. Adding on being caught red-handed by her own students today, she couldn't help but raise her voice a few notches higher.

"You women are really unreasonable."

The round-faced man showed a look of disgust, pulled the quilt, turned around, closed his eyes and refused to communicate.

Guo Minjie stared at him for a full minute with red eyes, then slammed the door and lay down in the next room.

She doesn't understand.

I don’t understand why my husband, who was so considerate and polite when they were in love, would become like this.

He used to respect women and never had any conflicts with her before marriage. He was always cheerful about everything.

Although he looked rough and masculine, he was always gentle and honest when he was with her.

She thought of the works of Eileen Chang whom she had read.

The brightness gradually faded and became dull, which made the man feel bored, just like a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, which was conspicuous but had lost its original appeal.

Will this bouquet of red roses of mine eventually turn into a smear of mosquito blood on the wall?
But we have only been married for three months!

Late at night, Guo Minjie was in mixed mood and tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

She thought about it over and over in her mind, but couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly a sentence popped out and kept circling around her temple.

"Either he's full or he doesn't like women."

Guo Minjie, who originally didn't take this sentence seriously, seemed to have grasped something.

She stood up, without wearing slippers, and tiptoed towards the master bedroom, all in silence.

Pushing open the door, the man's snoring filled the room. She moved to the bedside and gently lifted the phone next to the socket.

From dating to marriage, her husband was surprisingly not that straight, he understood women, and was very obedient to her.

Apart from being busy at work, coming home late, and being too tired to have a sexual life, she thought this guy was okay.

So, being sensible, she never looked at a man’s cell phone.

until today.

Lu Jincheng's words were like a flash of lightning, suddenly illuminating her chaotic thoughts.

She entered the password and failed to unlock it.

But it doesn’t matter, fat bears generally sleep deeply, and their snoring is like a reminder of safety.

She gently raised the phone towards her husband's thumb.

In the era without facial recognition, unlocking the phone of the person next to you was so easy.

She flipped through the pages and found an unfamiliar blue and white app.

She clicked in.

The next second, a new world opened up.

Guo Minjie's lips trembled slightly, the light in her pupils flickered repeatedly, and her face gradually turned pale as paper, as if the whole world was collapsing before her eyes.

“I hahahahaha.”

She tried to wake the man up and say something, but in the end only a light laugh came out of her nose.

She decisively unplugged her phone, took it to the next room, resisted the urge to vomit, and took pictures of the glaring chat records and photos on it, one after another.

"What the hell am I? A red rose."

She couldn't cry, but just clenched her fingers tightly together, her brand new nails digging deeply into her palms.
