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

Chapter 575 No Need to Repay
Zhong Jincheng: "Yes, she's planning to rent a place outside."

Lu Yuanqiu: "Renting a place is fine, but then you won't have to go back to the dorm to sleep every night, right?"

Bai Qingxia had been eavesdropping on their conversation. When she heard this, she looked forward and saw that Zhong Jincheng in the front row was not responding, but his face was a little red. Bai Qingxia felt that Zhong Jincheng must have done something naughty with Senior Luo Wei. She had secretly seen it at the Human Fireworks Restaurant.

Zhong Jincheng finally mumbled something incoherently, his cheeks flushed: "Oh, not necessarily... Her internship is quite far from the school, so she definitely can't rent a place near the school."

Lu Yuanqiu chuckled and then asked Zheng Yifeng, "What about you? Isn't Teacher Su going to Lucheng with you this time?"

Zheng Yifeng: "I brought it up, but she refused."

"Pfft!" The other three burst out laughing at the same time.

Zheng Yifeng's face was blank: "..."

Zhong Jincheng proudly raised his chin: "See? This is the difference between us when we're dating."

Zheng Yifeng put on his headphones, not wanting to talk to him.

"Aren't we going back to high school this time?" Bai Qingxia asked quietly from the side.

Lu Yuanqiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Uh... I guess I won't go back."

The girl was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Teacher Liu was right after all."

"What?"

Bai Qingxia explained in a low voice: "Teacher Liu said last time that graduates only go back during the first semester of their freshman year, and then they gradually stop going back."

Lu Yuanqiu couldn't think of a reason to refute him, but he still added, "I'll go back next winter break, I definitely will."

Bai Qingxia nodded, her eyes fixed ahead, the nodding motion large and slow.

Because she didn't believe it.

Upon arriving in Lucheng, Bai Qingxia and Lu Yuanqiu went directly to Xingfuli. A week earlier, Aunt Zhang had already moved Bai Songzhe and her daughter into the new house that Lu Tian had helped them find.

The new apartment and Lu Yuanqiu's home are in the same building, except that Lu Yuanqiu lives on the 17th floor, while Bai Qingxia lives on the 6th floor.

She wanted a three-bedroom apartment, but Lu Tian found a four-bedroom apartment instead. This was at Lu Yuanqiu's instruction, because Lu Yuanqiu remembered that Bai Qingxia wanted to have a study in her future apartment.

Bai Qingxia probably doesn't have time to read now, but she definitely needs a space to practice dancing during this holiday.

"Ding dong, ding dong~"

After dinner, Lu Yuanqiu, his father, and Lu Yidong took the elevator to the sixth floor and rang Bai Qingxia's doorbell.

The sound of slippers slapping on the floor came from inside. Bai Qingxia opened the door and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Lu, Dongdong."

"Why didn't you greet me?" Lu Yuanqiu muttered as he entered the room. Bai Qingxia didn't respond to him and continued to greet Lu Tian and Lu Yidong: "There are no slippers... Why don't you just step on the floor? The floor is very clean."

"Good good."

"How did Dongdong do on his exam?" Bai Qingxia asked Lu Yidong with a smile.

Lu Yidong shook his head: "You did well on the exam!"

Lu Yuanqiu pinched the back of her neck: "Who told you that? The King of Hell you worshipped?"

"It is Manjushri Bodhisattva!"

"Ugh! I hate you!" Lu Yidong chased after his brother and started hitting him wildly.

Bai Songzhe sat on his bed in his room, still looking blank. Aunt Zhang was standing beside him folding his clothes. When she saw Lu Yuanqiu and the others arrive, she greeted them with a smile and quickly put down the clothes and ran to the living room to pour water. Lu Yuanqiu peeked out, looking for Ranran's figure, and found the little girl walking around in the room where she and her mother slept, trying to feel her way back and forth, bumping into things and then standing still to recover.

Aunt Zhang brought over three glasses of water and explained, "Since we've moved to a new place, I told her to familiarize herself with the layout whenever she has time, starting with her bedroom."

Lu Tian reached out to take the water and thanked him, saying, "Ranran will be going to a special school in two months, which will make things easier for you."

"Yes, thank you so much, Mr. Lu, you've been a great help."

Lu Tian threw his head back and laughed. He was very pleased with the title "Mr. Lu" because it was a title often used to address his three older brothers.

Lu Yuanqiu continued to look around the room and came to the living room. He saw many parts that Aunt Zhang used for making handicrafts placed next to the sofa.

While having dinner, Bai Qingxia was still telling him on the phone that Aunt Zhang hadn't spent a single penny of the money she had left for her that year; she had saved it all up and returned it all to her during dinner. So, during this time, Aunt Zhang had been earning money on her own to take care of Bai Songzhe and Ranran.

This single mother was very stubborn; the only thing she would accept was living in the new house for free, and she refused all other favors offered by Bai Qingxia.

"Uncle Lu, this is the money you helped pay for before."

Lu Yuanqiu turned around when he heard the sound and saw Bai Qingxia also taking out a stack of money from the room and handing it to Lu Tian with both hands.

Seeing Lu Tian's reluctance, Lu Yuanqiu said, "Take it."

Lu Tian nodded, accepted the money, and slapped away Lu Yidong's hand that was touching the money.

Bai Qingxia looked at Lu Yuanqiu with bright eyes and a smile.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled back.

Bai Qingxia and Aunt Zhang are the same kind of people; she herself has said this.

“Tomorrow we’ll go buy a big mirror, the soft kind, and stick it on the wall. We’ll turn this room into a dance studio for you. That should be enough space, right?” Lu Yuanqiu said, standing in the study with Bai Qingxia, looking at a bare wall in front of him.

Bai Qingxia nodded: "That's enough."

"What kind of lyrics do you write?" she suddenly turned her head and asked.

Lu Yuanqiu kept everyone in suspense, shrugging his shoulders: "Let's talk about it after the music is composed."

The next day, after buying the mirror, Lu Yuanqiu asked his uncle about composing music. His uncle recommended someone to him: Long Liandong's grandfather.

Instead of looking for Long Liandong's grandfather, Lu Yuanqiu hesitated for a moment before opening the chat window with Long Liandong.

Since the last time she painted that picture, Lu Yuanqiu hadn't spoken to her again, and they rarely saw each other at school. Bai Qingxia also said that Long Liandong hadn't bought noodles for two or three months.

Lu Yuanqiu could understand that the relief he showed on the spot after the failed confession was just an act. If he really liked her, how could he possibly be relieved?

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yuanqiu sent a message to Long Liandong, not mentioning the matter of avoiding suspicion. He genuinely wanted to be friends with Long Liandong, as she was a nice girl.

Lu Yuanqiu: Are you there? Have you returned to Lucheng? I need your help with something.

The message was replied to very quickly, as if there wasn't even time to think.

'Long Lian Dong': Is it about writing songs?
"That guess was pretty accurate," Lu Yuanqiu replied with a hint of surprise. "Yes, I wrote the lyrics myself. Composing the music was a bit of a hassle. My uncle told me that you can find someone here."

Long Liandong: See you tomorrow at 3 PM. I'll bring some people over and send you the address then.

Lu Yuanqiu: Thank you, I'm sorry to have troubled you, I owe you a favor.

Long Liandong: No need to repay.

　Tomorrow's update will be after midnight.
