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

Chapter 592 Paradise
1979 years.

"Brother Song, look."

A sweet voice came from ahead.

The fair-skinned boy had just taken a bite of his steamed bun when he heard the sound and looked up. He saw the girl sitting opposite him reach her hand onto the table. The girl glanced around and, seeing that no one was looking this way, smiled and opened her right hand. In her palm lay an unpeeled orange hard-boiled egg.

The girl looked to be around ten years old, with big, bright eyes and a touch of baby fat on her profile. She had two thick, dark braids tied behind her head and was wearing a white floral shirt.

Luo Ran glanced around warily again, then quickly stuffed the egg into Bai Songzhe's hand.

"Where did this come from?" Bai Songzhe looked at the warm egg in his hand with surprise and asked the girl with a smile.

"Given by Teacher Liu."

"Is it that female ballet teacher who taught you?"

"Hmm." Luo Ran nodded, picked up the steamed bun beside her, and continued in a low voice, "Teacher Liu said that if we eat steamed buns and pickled vegetables every day, we are prone to malnutrition. We are at the age when we are growing."

Looking at the egg in his hand, Bai Songzhe exclaimed, "Teachers from big cities have it so good! Have you eaten?"

Luo Ran looked at him, her eyes widening in surprise, and quickly nodded: "I ate them! She gave me two, I ate one, this one is for you."

"How about... we give it to Xiao Chong? He's never eaten eggs before, okay?" Bai Songzhe gave the girl a cautious, pleading smile.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ran's eyes drooped, and she lowered her head to pick up some pickled vegetables with her chopsticks, muttering, "Whatever."

Bai Songzhe smiled again, looked down at the egg in his hand, and was about to put it in his pocket when suddenly a fat hand grabbed his wrist.

Before Bai Songzhe could react, the chubby boy snatched the egg from his hand and ran out to a table across from him, proudly waving the egg in his hand right in front of Bai Songzhe.

"Chen Yonggui!" Luo Ran shouted angrily.

The chubby boy who had been snatching the eggs was still playfully sticking his tongue out at Luo Ran, and he said smugly, "You two, the childcare teacher said we can't hide food!"

"Give it back to me!" Bai Songzhe cursed and charged at the chubby boy named Chen Yonggui, but his size was no match for him, and he was quickly pinned to the ground by the chubby boy.

"We've never done anything to you, so why do you always bully us?!" Bai Songzhe lay on the ground and forcefully grabbed his collar.

Chen Yonggui spat and slapped Bai Songzhe across the face. Luo Ran ran over to hit him, but Chen Yonggui simply raised his hand and pushed her, sending her sprawling to the ground.

"Xiao Ran, don't come any closer!" Bai Songzhe shouted as he struggled violently beneath Chen Yonggui. Seeing this, Luo Ran sat on the ground and began to cry.

Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly flashed past her side, and a boy rushed past her, kicking Chen Yonggui, the chubby boy, in the face!
"Fuck you! Let him go!"

Bai Songzhe exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Chong!"

The boy named Xiao Chong had long, narrow eyes and sharp eyebrows. His eyes flashed with a fierce light. He was breathing heavily, but his expression softened when he looked at Bai Songzhe. He also called out to Bai Songzhe, "Xiao Qing."

He then frowned again: "Xiao Qing, you're so stupid! Just pick up the plate and smash it over his head!"

After Xiao Chong finished speaking, he walked over to Chen Yonggui, who was lying on the ground covering his face and crying. He then kicked Chen Yonggui hard again.

Bai Songzhe quickly got up and helped Luo Ran up, raising his hand to wipe away her tears: "Don't cry, I'll go get the eggs back."

Luo Ran nodded.

While kicking Chen Yonggui, Xiao Chong shouted, "Next time before you bully Xiao Qing and the others, think about who beat you up today!"

Bai Songzhe quickly knelt down beside Chen Yonggui and took the egg out of his pocket. Just then, a commotion came from behind, and a group of children who had been watching parted to the sides. Bai Songzhe turned around and quickly pulled Xiao Chong, who was still kicking Chen Yonggui, away. The woman who entered the restaurant was one of the strictest caregivers in the orphanage.

"What are you doing?!" the caregiver demanded.

Xiao Chong frowned: "This fat guy is bullying me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was stunned to see Chen Yonggui, the chubby boy, lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.

Xiao Chong was stunned, standing there dumbfounded. Bai Songzhe shouted anxiously at Chen Yonggui, "What are you pretending for?! You weren't like that just now!"

At noon.

In the cafeteria, Bai Songzhe sat alone at a table. He turned his head to look at the spot where Chen Yonggui had fallen to the ground, and then took out the egg from his pocket that he hadn't had time to give to Xiao Chong.

Bai Songzhe stared blankly at the egg, lost in thought.

"Xiao Chong seems to have been severely punished."

Children were passing by behind him, and their conversation reached Baek Song-cheol's ears.

On the third day at noon, Luo Ran rushed over in a hurry, not even having time to change out of her dance practice clothes. She was panting heavily when she told Bai Songzhe, "Brother Song, Xiao Chong has secretly slipped out of the orphanage! I heard it from the teacher!"

Bai Songzhe frowned instantly. He stood there stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "When did this happen?"

"The night before yesterday."

"...I roughly knew where he went, so I went out to find him and brought him back. Chen Yonggui was fine now, and the caregiver only punished him a little."

Luo Ran quickly grabbed Bai Songzhe's arm: "You can't get out."

Bai Songzhe turned to look at her: "I'll sneak out tonight."

He had only taken a few steps forward when Luo Ran's voice came from behind: "Brother Song!"

Bai Songzhe turned around and saw Luo Ran running towards him, holding an egg in her small, fair hand. Luo Ran put the egg into his hand and said, "Here, eat this yourself."

At this moment, Bai Songzhe only thought of the kick Xiao Chong had given him three days ago. He didn't say anything and clenched the egg in his hand.

"Brother Song, when are you coming back?"

"Come back once you find Xiao Chong."

After Bai Songzhe finished speaking, he saw Luo Ran looking at him with red eyes, so he opened his arms and hugged the girl. Luo Ran and Xiao Chong have always been the two most important people to him, and no matter where he is, he will never abandon either of them.

That evening, Bai Songzhe successfully slipped out of the orphanage. He had no money, and the orphanage wouldn't allow him to hide food, so apart from the egg Luo Ran had given him, he didn't take anything with him.

Based on his memory, he walked in one direction from morning till night. His feet were blistered and he was hungry. Exhausted, he sat down by the roadside and stared blankly at the people who passed by him.

Bai Songzhe knew Xiao Chong before entering the orphanage, but he only met Luo Ran after entering the orphanage.

He and Xiao Chong once swore brotherhood like the characters in Water Margin, promising to be brothers for life.

He suspected that Xiao Chong had escaped to the reservoir where they had become sworn brothers before entering the orphanage. The reservoir was full of peach trees, just like the paradise described in the book.
