Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 568 Growth
Growing up is a topic that should bring joy, and after starting a relationship with a slightly older girlfriend, "growing up" has become even more special for Zheng Yifeng.

Zhong Jincheng's nineteenth birthday is on April 9th, which is also a few days after the sports meet ended.

Although Zhong Jincheng's performance at the sports meet was terrible, Luo Wei still went to the hotel to book a double room on his birthday, decorated the room with red roses and colorful balloons, and prepared a big cake.

The two of them might have done something else that day, because Zheng Yifeng remembered that when Zhong Jincheng came back the next day, he was back to his shy and bashful self.

Zhong Jincheng's 19th birthday must have been a happy one.

Lu Yuanqiu's 19th birthday was also quite nice.

Zheng Yifeng remembered that the night before February 23, Lu Yuanqiu received a gift that Bai Qingxia had carefully prepared, a gift that no boy could resist. Zheng Yifeng vaguely remembered that he was extremely envious as an observer that night.

Bai Qingxia truly cherishes every day she spends with Lu Yuanqiu. Zheng Yifeng is able to empathize with Lu Yuanqiu's feelings upon seeing the photo album, and Lu Yuanqiu's 19th birthday must have been a perfect one.

Bai Qingxia's 19th birthday...

If I remember correctly, there are still three months left. It falls on the same day as this year's city arts competition. Zheng Yifeng knows that Lu Yuanqiu will definitely take Bai Qingxia's birthday seriously, and the result will surely be wonderful.

And Zheng Yifeng's birthday is today.

Su Miaomiao would probably team up with Lu Yuanqiu to prepare a little surprise for him. Zheng Yifeng had guessed this when he saw Su Miaomiao taking Lu Yuanqiu out the day before yesterday. After all, this was a regular event in high school. Zheng Yifeng was even thinking about whether he should pretend to be surprised when he had lunch just now while washing up.

As he pondered this, Zheng Yifeng actually smiled at himself in the mirror. He was actually starting to feel happy about the predictable surprise, something he would have found boring in the past.

What kind of surprise is it if it can be predicted?
Only unpredictable surprises can stir his emotions.

But now, Zheng Yifeng has gradually stopped caring whether the surprise can be predicted; he only cares about who will be involved in the upcoming surprise.

As long as he has a lover and good friends, even if he pretends to be surprised when the surprise arrives, he will still be happy inside.

Zheng Yifeng knew he had changed long ago, and that he was no longer driven by absolute rationality. But wasn't losing some of his absolute rationality a kind of growth for him?

He used to be indifferent to everything, prioritizing rationality and preferring to view problems from a God's-eye view. But now he is increasingly influenced by the emotions of those around him: Lu Yuanqiu's optimism, Zhong Jincheng's transformation, Bai Qingxia's hard work, Su Miaomiao's love, and Finger's rise...

They acted as catalysts, forging warmth and humanity into Zheng Yifeng's body, which was always governed by reason.

He used to enjoy being a detached spectator, but now he's a lively participant.

After changing his clothes, Zheng Yifeng straightened his collar and reached out to adjust the mirror on the shelf, which reflected his current face.

Zheng Yifeng likes the version of himself who can smile now.

……

restaurant.

Lu Yuanqiu followed behind, his hands on Bai Qingxia's shoulders, and they entered the private room. They exclaimed in surprise along with the others, "Wow~ what a huge table!"

Su Miaomiao squeezed in through the door of the private room, clapped her hands and said, "Let's all sit separately, men and women. Girls over here, boys over here, so I can keep track of who's here and who's not."

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia glanced to the side. Su Miaomiao was dressed very festively today, in a rose-red dress, even her high-heeled sandals were red, and her hair was styled in an updo, like a bride.

If Zheng Yifeng hadn't been wearing a white shirt today, Lu Yuanqiu would have thought this wasn't a class team-building event, but their engagement party.

"Please sit down," Su Miaomiao said with a smile to Zheng Yifeng, patting his arm.

Zheng Yifeng nodded, searching for Lu Yuanqiu's figure.

Lu Yuanqiu continued to push Bai Qingxia from behind. Since the men and women were sitting separately, he and Bai Qingxia would act as the dividing line between the men and women on one side of the round table.

The two sat down side by side, exchanged a glance, and chuckled at the "bug" they had managed to exploit. Lu Yuanqiu looked to the side and saw Zheng Yifeng sitting down next to him, while Chi Caocao sat down next to Bai Qingxia.

After everyone who was standing sat down, Su Miaomiao stood at the door and raised her hand to count everyone who had arrived. The uncle turned around and looked at her, then whispered to the Taoist priest, "Teacher Su looks really beautiful today."

The Taoist priest nodded with a smile.

After confirming that everyone was present, Su Miaomiao went out to notify the waiter to start serving the dishes. She came to the door and subtly waved to Lu Yuanqiu.

Lu Yuanqiu understood and ran over with a smile. Noticing the figure rushing past behind him, Zheng Yifeng guessed that Lu Yuanqiu must have gone to get the cake.

Sure enough, three minutes later, Lu Yuanqiu and Su Miaomiao pushed in a three-tiered cake, and everyone in the private room looked surprised.

Is it someone's birthday?

Zheng Yifeng revealed a knowing smile, while Zhong Jincheng, not forgetting to turn around with an exaggerated expression, clapped his hands and said to him, "Teacher Su has prepared a big surprise for you~"

"Yes." Zheng Yifeng nodded with a smile.

Lu Yuanqiu returned to his seat and whispered something in Bai Qingxia's ear. Bai Qingxia looked surprised and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes darting around rapidly.

Su Miaomiao looked at everyone in the private room, picked up the birthday hat next to the cake, and said to everyone, "Today is Zheng Yifeng's 19th birthday!"

The crowd turned to look at Zheng Yifeng, and cheers erupted in the private room. Everyone clapped enthusiastically. Zheng Yifeng stood up, put his hands together in a gesture of gratitude to the others with a gentle expression.

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what Su Miaomiao was going to say later. Zheng Yifeng stood up and walked over to Su Miaomiao, who then unfolded her birthday hat and put it on Zheng Yifeng's head herself.

"Happy birthday," she whispered.

Zheng Yifeng looked at her and said, "Thank you."

The woman beside him nodded, paused for a moment, stroked the metal frame next to her, and considered her next words. Seeing this, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia couldn't help but hold their breath.

Su Miaomiao said to everyone, "I have something to tell you all."

"Before coming to the restaurant today, I had already resigned from my position as a teaching assistant in the Clinical Medicine Department. From now on, I'll just be an ordinary graduate student~"

"Huh?" Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia's expressions froze.

When was this scene included in the script?
Zheng Yifeng was also a little confused. He had guessed the beginning, but he hadn't guessed how it would develop.

Just as everyone was wondering why, Su Miaomiao quickly raised her hand and pressed it down, and everyone quieted down again.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Su Miaomiao said again, "The reason I made this decision is because I want to live my own life more freely."

"My reason is a bit selfish, because I've fallen in love with someone."

“I’ve been his English teacher since high school, and I was his class advisor in college. I’m someone who cares about worldly things, and I may never be able to change that. So if I can’t break free from these worldly shackles, then I’ll take them off.”

"I want to start loving him boldly, openly, and passionately from today onwards."

The private room was completely silent.

Bai Qingxia looked at Su Miaomiao in silence.

　Two updates today.
