Rebirth: Starting from Saving the Desperate Girl

Chapter 22 Life is getting more and more difficult
"…The prize?"

Bai Congdong tilted his head, as if he didn't understand what Chen An meant.

"It's just a bet. If you win, I'll agree to one of your conditions."

As Chen An spoke, he glanced at the girl's bulging nightgown pockets and smiled kindly again.

"If I win, you give me the candy in your pocket."

"Really?"

As soon as Chen An finished speaking, he heard Bai Congdong's voice startled and he couldn't wait to ask.

She leaned half of her body forward, and her black shoulder-length hair fell on Chen An's face, feeling itchy and having a unique scent of shampoo.

A pair of bright eyes blinked, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he looked full of confidence.

After all, Bai Congdong has hardly ever lost in playing chess, especially Go, these days.

So when she heard about the bet, she almost thought she had heard it wrongly.

Could it be that Brother Chen An did this on purpose?

On the surface, it was a bet, but in reality, it was just to make her happy...

Bai Congdong's face turned slightly red, and his white feet moved. He had already begun to imagine what conditions he would offer next.

then……

Fifteen minutes later.

pat.

The cloud fell weakly onto the wooden chessboard, making a few crisp sounds.

The girl stared blankly at the upper right corner of her body that was broken by a fixed move, and confusion flashed in her eyes.

This, this is not right...

She was walking according to the routine taught by her teacher, but why did she die while walking?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

I must have been careless!
Bai Congdong gritted her teeth, took out a piece of beautifully wrapped chocolate from her skirt pocket, and slapped it on the chessboard.

"Come again!"

ten minutes later.

"...Come again!"

Then...eight minutes, five minutes, three minutes.

Each time it takes shorter, and the sound becomes weaker.

In the next few times, Bai Congdong's temper seemed to have changed. He didn't play any corner tactics with Chen An. He just stuck to him from the beginning and insisted on deciding the outcome in a local battle with him.

But it was obvious that the girl underestimated her own computing power, or in other words, she mistook Chen An's "sea" level a few days ago as his real strength.

So, after emptying the last White Rabbit milk candy from her skirt pocket, the girl's expression froze, her mouth pursed, and a feeling of grievance surged up. Her nose twitched slightly twice, and her voice trembled.

"Wow, it's gone, there's nothing left..."

"I really don't have any left..."

Bai Congdong touched her empty skirt pocket and muttered to herself, then she saw someone smilingly stuffing all the snacks beside the chessboard into her trouser pocket.

While stuffing the food in, he pretended to sigh.

"Oh, I can't put it in anymore. I really can't put it in anymore."

Snacks don’t go away, they just move away.

Looking at the little Lolita's watery eyes, Chen An found it very interesting and reached out to pinch the girl's fair and tender face.

The latter glared at him angrily, then rubbed his eyes and turned his back.

"You are awesome, you look awesome, I will never play with you again!"

She stretched out a finger and poked it on the pillow, beeping softly in grievance.

"Brother Chen An is so mean, I hate him so much, I thought, I thought..."

"What do you think you are?"

Chen An was curious and came up to ask.

The girl snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. At worst I'll just pay you back."

"Who cares!" Bai Congdong didn't say anything sarcastic. To her, these snacks were really nothing. As long as she wanted, her aunt would bring her a box the next day.

But the girl rolled her eyes, lowered her head again, and said in a muffled voice, "Unless, unless you come closer."

Chen An was stunned for a moment, worrying about how to coax her. Although he was a little confused, he still moved closer to her as she said.

The next moment, he felt something pecked lightly on the side of his cheek.

I subconsciously reached out to touch it, but only felt a slightly moist feeling.

Chen An reacted immediately, his eyes widened slightly, and he moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but the girl had already broken away, blushing and pulling the quilt over and crawling in.

The movements are smooth and flowing.

"..."

Well, well, these days are getting more and more meaningful...

Who would have thought that after going through so many tricks, he would end up falling for such a little girl.

Chen An was thinking about this for no reason, his eyes passed the quilt in front of him that was twisted like a tapeworm, and met another pair of quiet and peaceful eyes beside the bed.

The next moment, Chen An looked away, feeling slightly guilty.

Bai Congqiu had not said anything before, which made him almost forget that there was another person in the room.

"Ahem, well, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."

Realizing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Chen An coughed twice, then stood up and left.

Bai Congqiu silently watched his departing back without saying anything, neither saying yes nor no.

It was not until Chen An's footsteps had completely disappeared that she reached out and gently patted the quilt.

"Come out, everyone has left."

The quilt twisted restlessly, and after waiting for another minute or two, a little head slowly poked out from under the quilt.

A few naughty strands of hair stuck to her forehead, and her face was still somewhat blushed.

"Oh...sister."

The girl blinked and covered her delicate chin with the quilt, leaving only a pair of big watery eyes exposed.

Bai Congqiu glanced at her, rolled up the book in his hand, and tapped her little head.

"Don't be so casual next time."

The eldest sister is like a mother. Facing her sister's scolding, Bai Congdong covered his head and cried out in pain, but he remained obedient and did not talk back to his sister.

However, those bright eyes looked at her sister stubbornly.

"I'm not being casual."

Bai Congdong muttered softly.

Bai Congqiu ignored her rebuttal and just supported his chin with the rolled up book, with a hint of thought flashing across his face.

She was thinking about what the boy had done tonight.

If I remember correctly, he doesn't like sweets at all...

Then it would be very suspicious if he came here specially to take away all the candies in his sister's pocket.

Unless... he wants to feed it to someone else.

After figuring this out, Bai Congqiu couldn't help but glance at his sister who was still lying there wrapped in the quilt with a silly smile on her face.

Look how happy she is. No wonder my aunt said that even if she was sold she would still have to help others count the money.

Bai Congqiu shook her head. According to her previous thoughts, she quickly thought of a person.

The sanatorium is not big, and most of the residents are elderly. The only child of the same age that I have seen these days, besides Chen An and his sister, is undoubtedly the strange little girl with white hair.

In addition, Bai Congqiu knew that Chen An had been secretly following people since the first day they entered the sanatorium - putting aside his bad behavior for the moment.

When Bai Congqiu thought of this, he suddenly felt a little annoyed for no reason.

She didn't know what she was upset about, she just felt a little uncomfortable.

Angry.

Bai Congqiu puffed up his cheeks and decided to adjust the time he would ignore him from three hours to three days.
