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

Chapter 582 Everyone is Being Themselves

Lu Yuanqiu held his phone and read the sentence twice in his mind, a smile gradually spreading across his face.

He typed a reply.

Lu Yuanqiu: Yes, friend!

Long Lian Dong is a good girl, at least that's what Lu Yuan Qiu thinks. They've gotten to know each other quite well and she's helped them a lot.

But having already made Bai Qingxia his one and only in this life, Lu Yuanqiu could not possibly give that love to a second person. He once thought that such a man did not exist, at least not him.

After all, which man isn't lustful? Who doesn't like pretty girls? Who says you can't like a second person at the same time if you like one? Others can be scumbags, so why can't I? I'll just live my life and be happy, since I have plenty of money anyway.

But after his rebirth, Lu Yuanqiu realized that the reason he had those thoughts was simply because he had never met a girl as pure, kind, and devoted to him as Bai Qingxia.

It's a sense of responsibility that's hard to explain. If I had to explain it, the reason is quite simple: she gave me all her love.

Then I will do the same.

Long Liandong did not reply. Lu Yuanqiu opened his chat with Cao Shuang, sent a message, and then took his guitar from the bedside and tried to play it according to the sheet music.

He hummed a song he had written softly, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Down from the 17th floor, in the study on the 6th floor.

Bai Qingxia, dressed in a light pink practice uniform, did the splits on the floor covered with a sponge mat. She stretched her slender arms upwards, moving her supple upper body while quietly listening to the instrumental music "Maple" playing from the speakers next to her. Her eyes darted around as she considered the corresponding dance steps.

"Sister~" A soft, sweet voice came from the doorway. Bai Qingxia lowered her arms and turned to look.

Ranran pushed the door open a crack, stood in the doorway holding an envelope, and said, "Mom said a letter fell out of your suitcase and asked me to show it to you."

Bai Qingxia discovered it was the letter Long Liandong had written to her. She walked over, took the letter in her hand, and ruffled Ranran's hair: "Tell your mother I know~"

"Then I'm leaving. Mom doesn't want Ranran to disturb her sister's dance practice." Ranran stared into the air and whispered to Bai Qingxia.

Bai Qingxia smiled and patted Ranran's head again. She stood at the door and watched Ranran make her way to the living room. Seeing that the little girl was walking steadily, she closed the door and went into the room.

Sitting on the ground, Bai Qingxia stared at the letter, and the words "Keep going!" that Sister Li had said during the day echoed in her mind.

She put the letter down, let out a long breath, and looked up at the ceiling with her clear eyes, thinking that Lu Yuanqiu might be sitting right above her.

“My bright blonde hair has made more and more people like me, but I’m also afraid that people will get too close and see my faded roots. But you know what? Youth is fleeting, and what I want most is actually friends. You gave me the last reason not to dye my hair.”

“My life is worthless, but if I have something on this beast, I will make him pay the price.”

"If I can't break free from the shackles of worldly conventions, then I will take off those shackles and start loving him boldly from today onward."

Bai Qingxia stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, then murmured to herself, "So they were all trying their best to be themselves..."

With the background music of maple leaves playing, she held the envelope in her right hand and slowly lowered her head, which had been tilted back.

Bai Qingxia began to stare straight at herself in the mirror.

"Hello, Sister-in-law Shuang!"

At the barbecue stall, a dozen or so energetic young men stood up from their tables and bowed in unison to Ruan Yueru. This scene even made the barbecue stall owner, who was surrounded by the smoke of the charcoal fire, turn around and look at them in surprise.

Seeing Ruan Yueru standing there dumbfounded, Cao Shuang suppressed his almost uncontrollable smile and quickly turned around to scold, "Don't shout! Understand?"

“We don’t call everyone ‘Sister Shuang’,” one of the energetic young men retorted.

Cao Shuang immediately pointed at him with her chopsticks: "Shut up! He's only a senior in high school, studying hard is the most important thing, what's the point of talking about dating!"

Just as he finished speaking, Cao Shuang's phone rang, and he took it out of his pocket to check it.

Lu Dasheng: Don't forget about driving test part three, Shuangzi.

Cao Shuang: Okay, Brother Qiu.

Cao Shuang put his phone back in his pocket and looked at Ruan Yueru. He found that Ruan Yueru was already sitting down, staring at the barbecue on the table with a depressed expression. Although she looked depressed, her neck still made a swallowing motion.

"What are you standing there for? Eat!" Cao Shuang sat down next to her and urged her.

Ruan Yueru then started eating. Cao Shuang sat next to her, watching her with a smile. Ruan Yueru's hair had already fallen to her shoulders. She used to be a tomboy, but now she had transformed into a sweet girl with long, straight black hair.

Uh… she just doesn’t eat like a sweet girl, but Cao Shuang still thinks she’s pretty sweet and wants to sit next to her, cup her cheeks in her hands, and watch her from this moment until dawn.

"Do you still play basketball?" Cao Shuang asked.

Ruan Yueru shook her head, raising her hand to brush the strands of hair stuck to her face: "My dad won't let me play anymore. I'm in my final year of high school, I need to focus on my studies."

Cao Shuang wanted to help her tuck her hair behind her ear, but she awkwardly raised and lowered one hand, and in the end, she could only move the lamb skewers closer to her.

Seeing this, Ruan Yueru raised her head and gave a silly, goofy laugh. Her foodie act made Cao Shuang laugh as well.

A few of his underlings' voices came from behind: "Brother Shuang, we've missed Brother Qiu so much! It's been so long. When can we ask him out? We'll treat Brother Qiu to barbecue."

Cao Shuang turned around and said, "Brother Qiu is busy with competitions, training, and driving practice. Let's talk about it during the next holiday."

"Hehe, I really miss the scene when we saw Qiu Ge being provoked in high school, and all of us threw down our chopsticks and stood up. It's only been a year, and I already miss school."

Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang grabbed a chopstick and threw it at the person who had spoken: "Now you're reminiscing? What were you doing back then?! I told you all to study hard! But you wouldn't listen!"

The young man whose chopsticks were thrown retorted: "We may not be good at studying, but we are loyal. If Brother Qiu is in trouble, believe it or not, just say the word and all of us will come to his aid."

“Still providing support…” Cao Shuang pretended to fall with chopsticks. The person opposite instinctively raised their hand to cover their head, only to find that the chopsticks had not been thrown at them.

Cao Shuang turned around, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Ruan Yueru. Seeing the girl staring blankly at him, Cao Shuang explained somewhat awkwardly, "Uh... actually, I'm not as rude as I used to be. I'm following Qiu Ge's example and trying to be a gentle person."

"No, I meant to ask if you have any more? I've finished what's on the table," Ruan Yueru said to him.

Cao Shuang's eyes widened instantly. In just a short while, the barbecue on the table, which cost several dozen yuan, had all turned into bare skewers.
