Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 121 A Beautiful Miss

"Chen An... don't you have a meal card yet?"

In a corner of Houde Garden, when no one was paying attention, the girl lowered her head and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Well, not yet. Teacher Huang said... I have to wait until tomorrow to send my school uniform and meal card."

Chen An responded truthfully.

But it’s not a big problem and it doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary.

Except for some activities, Changpu Middle School does not require students to wear school uniforms.

But Nagaura’s school uniform is really nice, so most people volunteer to wear it.

"Oh, then you can just brush mine today."

After Li Qingyue finished speaking, she took out a meal card from her skirt, relaxed her brows, and waved it in front of Chen An.

It's like a child who likes to show off his toys to adults.

So Chen An reached out and took it.

The girl was stunned and exclaimed, then she realized that she wanted to snatch it back.

Because the meal card serves as a student card, and it also has a headshot photo taken when you first entered school.

But Chen An was a head taller than her, so he only had to raise it slightly above his head. No matter how she jumped, she couldn't reach it.

Chen An held up the meal card and looked at the girl on it carefully for a long time.

"If you still look like you've just entered high school, I think I should be able to be sure of it as soon as we meet in the morning."

Li Qingyue was stunned when she heard this. She didn't care about him stealing her meal card and asked hurriedly, "Why?"

"Because your face was still chubby back then."

"you!"

Li Qingyue took the meal card, stamped her feet, and went to the window to queue up angrily.

This Chen An... is still so bad!

The boy smiled slightly and followed her slowly.

There were not many people in the cafeteria at this time. They had spent too long in the infirmary, and most of the students had finished their meals and went back.

Fortunately, stewed beef with radish was still on sale. Li Qingyue quickly washed two bowls, carried them on a red tray, and walked carefully to a table.

"It smells so good!"

The girl smelled the rich fragrance, squinted her eyes, and a happy smile appeared on her little face.

Of course, this was definitely not because of a reunion with someone, she just liked eating.

How can you have the energy to study if you don’t eat enough?
What's more, I have to get up early every day to run. I have been hungry for so long at noon that I already feel a little dizzy.

"Here, it's yours."

Chen An found a sterilizer, took out two pairs of chopsticks, walked back and handed them to her.

The girl hummed softly, took it, then picked up the other bowl on her plate and imitated his tone.

"Here, it's yours."

After saying that, she buried her head in her food and ignored him.

Chen An found it a little funny. This little girl’s temper...seemed familiar.

He followed suit and was really hungry.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

What's more, the rich aroma of meat wafting in front of you is really mouth-watering.

For a moment, the only sound was the crisp sound of the two people's chopsticks hitting the porcelain bowls.

Chen An occasionally glanced at the side and thought that if Li Qingyue was willing to do a food broadcast, she would definitely be able to attract a large number of loyal fans.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the girl speak.

"Stop looking at me all the time..." There was a grain of rice stuck on the edge of the girl's shiny pink lips. She muttered and protested softly.

But when Chen An looked away, she took the initiative to speak: "By the way, do you think I looked better before?"

Li Qingyue felt a little nervous when asking this question.

"If I really have to say...it definitely looks better now."

"After all, I lost weight where I should have, but not where I shouldn't have."

"Bah, bad guy!"

The girl blushed and continued to eat the rice in her bowl.

After all, she is no longer the ignorant age she used to be, and she can easily hear many of Chen An’s metaphors now.

After a while, the two finished their meal and walked out of the cafeteria side by side.

The afternoon sun was quite harsh, cutting a clear line between the eaves of Houde Garden and the concrete ground outside.

After being led by Li Qingyue for a walk, Chen An roughly figured out the direction and started walking.

The girl followed closely behind him.

In midsummer, the sun is scorching and the ground is burning hot, but fortunately the school has done a good job of greening, and you can often find a small patch of shade within a few steps.

So the two of them walked slowly like this, listening to the chirping of cicadas and feeling the occasional cool breeze.

Chen An always walked like this, and he was rarely seen in a hurry. Li Qingyue seemed to be thinking about something and did not walk fast.

Finally, perhaps she figured it out. She gritted her teeth, took two steps forward, and caught up with Chen An.

"Why don't you ask why I didn't contact you in the first place?"

The young man paused for a moment, tilted his head to look at her, and said with a smile, "It doesn't make much sense to worry about that now."

"I did have some doubts at first. I wondered if I was too much of a bully in junior high school, so you didn't want to talk to me after you transferred to that school..."

"But now that we've met again, I know you're not like that, so why are you asking?"

When Li Qingyue heard this answer, she felt a sudden sour sensation on the tip of her nose, and her heart began to ache as if it was being tightly grasped, just like when she was in the infirmary.

If I put myself in their shoes, if I had experienced this, I would have already...

Her eyes turned slightly red, and she suddenly grabbed the boy's clothes.

She tried to control her emotions and explained in a low voice: "No, I actually sneaked back the next afternoon to look for it, but I couldn't find it... It must have been picked up by the cleaning lady, or by some cat or dog. Anyway, I just couldn't find it..."

As she spoke, it was fine at first, but then she started to cry, her little mouth pouted, and it seemed like she was about to cry again.

Chen An was stunned. This was a completely new version he had never heard of.

However, seeing the girl's emotional outburst, he did not rush to ask further questions. Instead, he looked around and when he saw that there was no one around, he reached out and gently wiped away the tears from that pretty face.

Then he said softly: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, even if you want to talk, you can talk slowly. There may be some misunderstandings between us, but the result is good now, isn't it?"

The slender hand stroked her face soothingly, as if it contained some kind of magic, which gradually calmed the girl down.

She slapped that hand down with a guilty conscience, and the palm of that hand pressed against her face, feeling warm and inexplicably embarrassing.

After a while, Li Qingyue whispered:
"Okay, I'll tell you slowly."

Chen An nodded. There happened to be a small patch of shade here, so he sat directly on the curb that was a little raised above the road surface.

Li Qingyue did not sit down. She held up her skirt with her hands and squatted down beside him.

Soon, a simple story unfolded before Chen An as the girl told the story.

Just as he expected, four years ago, in the rooftop corridor, it was really just a beautiful miss.

The gentle breeze ruffled my hair, slightly blowing away the summer heat.

While listening, Chen An looked at the clear blue sky in the distance.

Suddenly I thought of it for no reason.

Then will she... also be such a beautiful 'miss'?
