Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 177 Chapter Self-love
National Day has always been one of the most important festivals for Chinese people.

Especially now, the atmosphere does seem to be more intense than the festivals in later generations. Even though it has not officially started, colorful flags can be seen fluttering in the streets and alleys.

Chen An and his sister were walking on such a street.

It was late in the evening and there were a lot of people walking around. The sound of the traffic drowned out their conversation, so they could only lean slightly closer to each other to communicate with each other.

"Mom said that she was originally planning to come back...but when she thought about the holidays, she decided to just stay there for a few more days."

The girl opened her eyes slightly and looked around, not knowing what she was looking for.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her voice and let out a long sigh.

"They really are...so happy here that they don't miss their homeland."

The girl shook her head.

Chen An loved watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms when he was a child. Probably influenced by this, Chen Xi also knew most of the plots of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms by heart.

Although she is only half Chinese, it does not stop her from showing off her knowledge here.

Compared with her nonchalant attitude, Chen An frowned, not quite understanding his parents' intentions.

In any case, the two old people have been on vacation for long enough, and they should have come back by the time of the holiday.

Could it be that middle age is really the time for a second spring?

The slight doubt did not last long after all, and Chen An soon thought of another thing.

"National Day, I might have to go out for a while..."

As he spoke, he was thinking about how to start the conversation better.

But his sister's subsequent reaction seemed to indicate that Chen An was just thinking too much.

"Where are you going? Are you going out on a date with some girl?"

The girl's eyes slowly turned back, and there was nothing unusual in her voice, just like an ordinary joke between siblings.

Chen An wanted to deny it outright, but changed his mind and agreed with her: "We agreed to treat someone to dinner today, Li Qingyue... It just so happens that National Day is coming soon, so I thought it would be better to make the best of a good time, so I asked someone to reserve a table for the third day of the month."

The reason I didn’t choose number one is that I’m afraid there will be too many people and I’ll be squeezed into sand coins when I go out.

"Oh~ Sister Qingyue..."

The girl let out a long sigh. After all, compared to others, this name always sounded more pleasant to her.

Well, it must be because she knows everything about him, and it is definitely not because she thinks Li Qingyue is easy to "bully".

Suddenly, a series of shrill screams were heard on the sidewalk.

Chen An pulled his sister aside to make room for the electric scooter behind them.

The little electric scooter sped past them with great satisfaction. The huge yellow box at the rear of the scooter was particularly eye-catching.

The world line continues to change silently, and the invisible giant hand pushes the process and accelerates the arrival of various emerging industries.

Recently, these knights in yellow robes can often be seen in the streets and alleys of the Magic City.

"It was clearly a sidewalk, and I don't know why he honked..."

I heard a girl's whisper beside me.

Chen An turned around and looked at her angry face, feeling a little amused.

The girl probably didn't know that the driving force behind this takeaway business was actually a sub-project of Anxi Venture Capital.

Because of this, Shu Keqing has been extremely busy lately and has not even had the time to call him to complain.

However, Chen Xi's words did serve as a reminder to Chen An.

At present, the takeout industry is completely blank, and the corresponding laws and regulations are not perfected. The whole thing is like a start-up makeshift team, and he needs to pay more attention.

"So where are you going?"

Chen Xi quickly put the unhappiness behind her. She grabbed Chen An's arm and asked with a slight smile. "The Bund, the one we went to with our parents before."

Chen An answered truthfully and then glanced at his sister.

"What's that look in your eyes?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xi seemed to see through his thoughts easily. She let go of his hand, put her hands behind her back, and walked in front of Chen An.

The girl's figure was so light and graceful, until she suddenly stopped under a paulownia tree by the roadside, turned around, and smiled at Chen An.

"No way, is my brother really that narcissistic that he thinks I would be jealous?"

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly, raised a finger and shook it.

She smiled and said:

"No one likes a boy who is too sentimental."

……

……

Nothing else happened in the next few days.

Chen An's high school life returned to normal.

Bai Congdong never came again, and the rumors about them gradually dissipated.

Chen An didn't feel disappointed. Perhaps for most boys of this age, it would be a great pleasure to win the favor of a beautiful girl, but he was a little different after all.

Even if he did not have a mature enough soul in his previous life, speaking only of this life, there was never a shortage of opposite sex around him.

The same is true for Bai Congdong.

They have all met many outstanding peers, whose hearts are rich and full, and they would never say that they cannot live without one of them.

In other words, Chen An was actually a little surprised that Bai Congdong could do something so close to "throwing himself at someone else's expense".

But that little bit of inexplicable feeling slowly faded away in the bright smile of the other girl.

Only when I occasionally see him from afar in some corner of the school, most of the time it is just a fleeting figure, and then I will suddenly remember that there is such an old friend.

……

On the last day before the National Day holiday, the classroom of Class 2, Grade 2 was quiet and peaceful in the morning, with only a few scattered figures.

"Why didn't you reply to me yesterday, Qiuqiu?"

There are fewer people, so someone becomes bolder.

Taking advantage of the early morning, Li Qingyue hurriedly ate breakfast, then sat down at Chen An's desk with a box of milk.

The girl's long hair seemed to have just been washed and was slightly damp. Her fair face was puffed up like a small puffer fish and her pair of lively eyes stared at him.

Chen An resisted the urge to pinch her face and asked, "Why don't you sleep well and snatch Ye Qianqian's phone all day? It's not like you can't see her during the day, so why would you have so much to talk about at night?"

Li Qingyue has a cell phone of her own, but she definitely doesn't bring it to school. She only takes it out and uses it when she goes home on weekends.

But Ye Qianqian is not like that. She not only brings a mobile phone, but also a power bank, headphones and a tablet. In short, she always wants to challenge anything that is prohibited by the law.

Chen An was very suspicious that Ye Qianqian was secretly instigating "Don't Eat Onions" to send messages to "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior" every night these past two days.

"No way... And I didn't steal it. Ye Qianqian gave it to me on her own initiative. She even taught me..."

Li Qingyue almost let the cat out of the bag due to her subconscious rebuttal. She immediately blushed, lowered her head and stopped talking.

Chen An glanced at her and laughed angrily, "I said those words are not something you can say, like 'my stomach hurts', 'I'm so cold, I need a hug', do you believe everything she says?"

The girl in front of him snorted twice and her face turned even redder.

But he didn't have the courage to refute. Perhaps he came to his senses and realized how embarrassing those words were.
