Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 132: Past Years (Two in One, Three Updates!)

"……No."

The girl's questions became increasingly bizarre.

Li Qingyue was a little overwhelmed and wanted to find Chen An, but she found that the young man had already walked a little ahead and had no intention of slowing down to wait for them.

"Are there any other brothers and sisters at home, especially a younger brother?"

Chen Xi continued to ask.

"No, I'm the only one at home."

Although she felt a little uncomfortable, Li Qingyue still answered honestly.

After all, she is Chen An's sister, and after what happened just now at the classroom door, she has a high tolerance for this girl.

My good friend’s sister, so rounding it off, that means she is my sister.

"Ah, very good."

Chen Xi took notes, then held Li Qingyue's shoulders and walked around her.

His eyes were sharp, first he looked at the high and bulging chest, then at the butt that looked very fertile.

Li Qingyue's scalp was tingling and she got goose bumps.

On the other side, Chen Xi withdrew his gaze, his little face showing a bit of satisfaction.

"Okay, last question. If your husband cheated on you after marriage... Bah, he accidentally had sex with someone else after marriage, and he was forced to do it, not on his own initiative, can you do it..."

The girl covered her forehead with her hands before she could finish her words, and cried out, but she quickly put the memo and pen into her pocket.

"How come you have so many weird questions in your little head?"

Chen An couldn't help but question out loud.

He has always had good moral character and excellent grades, and was well-known in Qing City No. 1 Middle School. How come he has such a sister?
"Hehe, these are some very necessary inspections."

Chen Xi was very unconvinced. She glanced at the girl who had come to her senses and blushed after Chen An's interruption, and complained in a low voice: "It's all my brother's fault. Sister Qingyue will definitely not say anything more now."

"Isn't it normal for her not to ask that stupid question of yours?"

Chen An was speechless, and then looked at Li Qingyue who was lowering her head and trying to play ostrich.

"And you... do you dare to answer as long as she dares to ask?"

"Didn't I teach you to say no?"

Li Qingyue felt aggrieved at being scolded suddenly. She explained in a low voice: "Because the person who asked the question was Xixi... Just like if it was you who asked, or if you had any request, I would not refuse."

Chen An glanced at her and said unhappily, "How dare you talk back? Next time, if it's an unreasonable request, I won't allow it even if it's me!"

"Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Li Qingyue curled her lips and muttered, "It was obviously you who pushed me..."

But I didn't feel wronged because I knew he cared about me.

"Alright, alright, let's go."

Chen Xi couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that the two of them were flirting, so he interrupted them and pushed them forward.

Under the tipsy sunset, the three of them seemed surprisingly harmonious.

As the years go by, perhaps the white-haired girl knows that some forbidden thoughts can only be buried deep down forever... She can still be willful now, but in the future, I'm afraid even thinking about it will become a sin.

If so...

Chen Xi pressed down the brim of his hat again to cover his pair of dark and moist eyes.

……

……

That night.

Qingjiang District of Shanghai.

There are many villas here, located on the bank of Qingjiang River, surrounded by mountains and water, and the scenery is picturesque.

It is almost universally recognized as a wealthy area.

At this moment, when the clock hanging above the fireplace slowly ticked past ten o'clock in the evening.

After bathing, the girl tied her bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom barefoot.

This is a four-story building.

Bai Congdong walked out of the bathroom, stepped barefoot on the wooden floor, and felt the slight coolness coming from the soles of his feet.

It was mid-September and the temperature was not too cold, so she liked walking barefoot around the house like this.

First, the housekeeping department cleans the house every day so the floor is not dirty. Second, it may be a habit formed when I was a child.

According to my aunt, among the four women in the family at that time, she was the only one who didn't like to wear shoes all day and ran around barefoot.

To put it nicely, it means lively and cute, but to put it bluntly, it means naughty and mischievous.

Now that I'm grown up, I naturally won't perform a hurdle jump or climb up the stair railing to play on the alternative "slide" like I did when I was a child.

Thinking of this, the girl paused and glanced at the stairs.

The handrail is snow-white and slightly curved. The overall shape, including this four-story building, is actually very similar to the small villa where I lived in Pingyang back then.

Even in the yard outside, the swing woven with vines and reproduced at a one-to-one scale was still swinging gently.

But something is missing... It's like wanting to slide down the slightly curved, snow-white staircase handrail, but there is no boy below to carefully catch it.

Bai Congdong lowered his eyes and put these unnecessary thoughts from his mind.

It is long past the time when I would miss someone when seeing something, but maybe because we met a few times today, all the past events inevitably came to my mind.

The girl took a step forward, her bare feet slightly raised. Her skin was white with a rosy glow, a very healthy and beautiful complexion.

At this age, every inch of skin on her body looks so perfect. Even her ankles, which are most prone to wear and tear and peeling, are still smooth and white under the reflection of the light and the floor.

After walking a few steps forward, the view becomes wider.

She saw her sister sitting upright on the soft sofa in the lobby on the first floor, with her upper body naturally straight... reading again?
Bai Congdong frowned, and with his excellent eyesight, he roughly saw words like "taming", "being tamed", and "how to turn defeat into victory under disadvantage".

strangeness.

Bai Congdong was a little confused because this was not the style of books her sister usually read.

But I didn't care too much and turned back to my room.

As for what happened today, I thought about it for a long time and finally decided not to talk about it...

The girl continued forward, and when she turned the corner, several rooms came into view.

She was going to go straight back to her room, but when she passed by the door of the utility room, she suddenly thought of something. After a moment of hesitation, she changed her mind and pushed open the door of the utility room.

This room is used to store the sisters' sundries. There are special rooms for other servants.

As soon as it was pushed open, a cloud of dust rose up and slowly floated in the air under the light of the corridor lights.

The girl frowned slightly and was about to call her auntie, but she quickly remembered that it seemed that the order not to clean the place was one she had given a long time ago.

As for the specific reason...it's been a few years, I really can't remember.

But in that case, he definitely couldn't walk in barefoot, so Bai Congdong found a pair of little white rabbit slippers, then he covered his mouth and nose with his hands and walked in.

What you can see are large cardboard boxes, one after another, neatly stacked on wooden shelves.

Following her memory, the girl fumbled and turned on the light, and the room suddenly became bright.

As his eyes swept across the cardboard boxes, Bai Congdong couldn't help but feel a hint of nostalgia.

She remembered what these things piled here were...without exception, they were all the toys of the little girl back then.

There were toy snakes, toy spiders, Autobots, airplane men, and all kinds of chess pieces, and um... there were many more that I can’t remember.

Anyway, it's weird and quite curious.

By the way...why did I like playing these in the first place?
Picking up a green toy snake, the girl couldn't help but smile softly as she felt nostalgic.

However, these were not the purpose of her coming in this time.

Putting the little snake down, the girl rolled up her sleeves and began to bury her head among the large cardboard boxes one after another. She must be looking for something, but she would be choked by the dust from time to time and started coughing.

These toys have been here for a very long time. They were sent here since the day I returned to China and have been piled here ever since.

It had been so long that she almost forgot that there was a toy with special meaning that was also buried deep among these cardboard boxes.

If I hadn't heard those familiar yet unfamiliar songs these two days, I'm afraid I wouldn't know when I would be able to see the light of day again.

a long time.

Just when the girl was about to lose her patience in searching, her hand, which had become gray from being covered in dust, finally touched something that looked like it was something.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly peeled off the toys in front of her one by one, and the thing slowly revealed its true appearance. It was a slightly old music box with an oxidized and yellowed surface.

Bai Congdong exerted his strength and pulled it out.

"call……"

She let out a long sigh, then clapped her hands, and held the music box in her arms without any hesitation, even though the dense dust on it scattered into her perfect skin like mutton-fat jade.

Gently stroking the rough surface of the music box, the girl muttered to herself, a little absent-minded.

"I almost forgot about you..."

"I left in such a hurry that night that I left you behind. I thought we would see each other soon, but it has been so many years..."

As she spoke, she started laughing.

"It's my fault too..."

Someone handed it to her and she only had time to hear half of it before she was rushed into the car by her mother.

Later, when I was rushing to catch a plane, I left it in the trunk of my car and forgot to pick it up.

Sorry?
Maybe there was. After all, when I first went abroad, I found out that I didn’t bring my music box with me, and I cried my heart out…

According to my aunt's description, she was almost going to the roof to threaten them.

Come to think of it... I seem to have tried fasting at that time, but unfortunately my aunt's cooking skills were too good and I couldn't hold on.

As I thought about it, all those childhood memories seemed to burst into my mind like a floodgate.

Bai Congdong smiled and rubbed his slightly red eyes.

Of course I can’t cry over such a small thing… I’m not a kid anymore.

When I think back on it now, I feel more of a sense of emotion, a feeling that is hard to describe.

So, with a bit of hope in mind, the girl looked down at the music box and slowly turned the spring.

Actually, it is not accurate to say that it is twisted.

Because the interior of this music box has obviously been modified, it is not the kind of box that can only play pure music and a single piece of music.

But it's magical and can play human voice.

At that time, Bai Congdong was shocked for a long time and couldn't understand how it worked.

Now that I've grown up, I can probably understand with a little thought that someone must have hollowed out the inside and only used the outer shell of the music box, and probably put an MP3 or something like that inside.

Holding the music box, the girl found a seat against the wall and sat down.

There is dust for sure...but I don't really care about that at the moment.

Press the switch again.

It didn't work just now. I don't know if it's because the internal parts are aging or the circuit board is out of power.

Fortunately, there was new movement this time.

The 'squeaky' sound was very obvious in the quiet utility room.

After a while, under Bai Congdong's rather nervous and expectant gaze...it slowly began to ring.

First there was a burst of white noise, followed by a clear human voice.

If you listen carefully to the voice, there is a hint of childishness that cannot be concealed.

His voice has always been nice and his singing is naturally good. The thing that is immature is not his singing voice, but his age.

The girl thought silently in her heart.

"Whose light did I steal from the wall when I was a child?"

"If you don't comb your hair, you will suffer for ten years."

"..."

There is no accompaniment, only pure vocals.

I think for him at that time, being able to make such a little gadget...it must have taken a lot of thought.

Asking for accompaniment would be a bit too much to ask.

Listening to the slightly distorted song coming from the music box, a smile slowly spread across the girl's beautiful face.

She still remembers that she was extremely surprised when she first heard it, and even wanted to run out to find him immediately.

Unfortunately, it was already late at night. Looking at the pitch-black road, I just walked to the door, but I was so scared that I ran back home.

Unexpectedly, a short while later, I boarded a bus heading abroad.

She was so naive at that time that she thought she was going back to Yanjing...

Bai Congdong thought about it, shook his head and chuckled.

And in my arms, the somewhat distorted singing voice still slowly came.

"..."

"You are no longer the same as you were before the moon."

"There are too many wounds to express."

"I sighed and thought it was normal at the time."

"..."

The girl listened patiently until the song ended.

She recalled that this was the first one...the second one was the clock in the opposite direction that she heard from Ye Qianqian yesterday afternoon.

as predicted.

The clear singing voice sounded again, as if it had magic, gentle and soft, gently brushing across the heart.

I remember that I was actually very distracted at that time, and I didn’t have as much patience as I do now. I would often listen for a while and then run off to do other things.

So I never finished listening to it.

Thinking of this, Bai Congdong suddenly became curious.

She took out her mobile phone, searched for Nongfu Shanren on the music platform, and then put it aside, matching them one by one.

In this way, listen to each song one by one.

Soon the girl's lips unconsciously opened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Because all the songs released on the platform can be found in this small music box!

And after these seven or eight songs, he never uploaded any more songs...except for some scattered piano pieces.

A guess quietly emerged in my mind.

Bai Congdong frowned and was about to get up.

She wanted to ask Ye Qianqian, a die-hard fan of Nongfu Shanren, what happened back then.

But after a brief silence, the music box in his arms suddenly rang out with a new sound.

"Heh... How's it going? Did my sudden appearance scare you?"

The girl was startled.

Then came the voice.

"Actually... I didn't want to make such a fuss, but who is to blame for our Xiaodong's anger?"

"So I had no choice but to resort to this last resort and put some of the things I wanted to say... here."

"Do you know my email address? Haha... maybe you don't know now, but if you wait a year or two, you will eventually know it given your conditions. And Qiuqiu, my home phone number. I will read out these numbers later. If you are in China, you will definitely be able to find me..."

"As for the email address... it is the last and most secret means. I will attach four email addresses, some overseas and some domestic... Don't think it's too long-winded, just in case."

"..."

"...Xiaodong, separation is the norm in life and the main theme of growing up."

"I hope we'll be safe and healthy when we meet next time."

Hearing this, the girl leaned against the wall and slowly slid down.

She stared blankly at the room full of toys.

She heard the slightly distorted voice pause for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.

"So, if one day you are willing to forgive me, forgive my indifference this time, please come to me... I will always wait for you."

"But if you have new ideas, don't worry about it... After all, you are still young. As I always say, no one will take children's words seriously."
