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

Chapter 657 Goodbye, Brother
Cao Shuang found the chat history and handed the phone to the back. Bai Qingxia, nestled in Lu Yuanqiu's arms, tilted her head and began to look at it with gossip.

Ruan Yueru: [Photo]

Ruan Yueru: Is it pretty? [Pokes cheek]

Cao Shuang: Beautiful! So gorgeous!

Ruan Yueru: I said the skirt! It's not human!

Cao Shuang: The clothes are nice, but the person is even more beautiful.

Ruan Yueru: Speechless [Disdain]

Ruan Yueru: This is boring, I'm not going to look at it anymore, hehehe.

Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia looked down with maternal smiles on their faces when Cao Shuang's somewhat embarrassed explanation came from ahead.

“It was around National Day last year. She bought a lot of pretty dresses, and even wore them, stood in front of the mirror, took pictures, and sent them to me, asking me if they looked good.”

In the photo, Ruan Yueru has long, straight black hair, wearing a pretty hair clip, a short skirt, slender legs, long white socks, and black leather shoes. She also has a pink hair tie on her wrist and one heel slightly raised, a very feminine pose.

Lu Yuanqiu sighed, "Cao Shuang, Cao Shuang, give me back my former dominance on the court, and my brother Ruan! Look what you've done to them!"

"Pfft!" Cao Shuang scratched his head frantically, then lowered his head and laughed shyly, waving his hands repeatedly: "What does this have to do with me, hahaha."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to step forward and point at his phone, boasting, "Didn't she say she wouldn't let me see it? But the next day she changed into a new dress and still took pictures and sent them to me."

Lu Yuanqiu scrolled down the chat history, laughing as he said, "You must have been grinning from ear to ear back then, right?"

Ruan Yueru: [Photo]

Cao Shuang: [Grinning] [Grinning] [Grinning]

Ruan Yueru: My opinion!
Cao Shuang: Hahaha, this dress is beautiful today, even prettier than you.

Ruan Yueru: Oh.

Ruan Yueru: Going to eat now, bye-bye.

Lu Yuanqiu's smile froze upon seeing this, and he raised his bewildered face.

"...What were you thinking when you said that?"

"Which sentence?" Cao Shuang quickly leaned closer.

Lu Yuanqiu pointed, and Cao Shuang said "Oh," and quickly explained, "That's because yesterday I said she was prettier than the clothes, and she said I was boring, so today I said the clothes were prettier than her, just to make a little joke and be humorous."

Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "Then why did you stop talking after that? You could have just told her you were joking."

Cao Shuang: "She went to eat. She usually doesn't take her phone with her when she eats."

Lu Yuanqiu: "What if she didn't go to eat? She just doesn't want to talk to you anymore."

Cao Shuang asked doubtfully, "I don't think so. We talked last night too."

Lu Yuanqiu: "But she ignored you all afternoon."

Cao Shuang: "He might be doing his homework."

Lu Yuanqiu didn't want to talk anymore, so he turned to Bai Qingxia, who was tilting her head and staring at the chat, and asked, "What do you think? Curious little thing."

Bai Qingxia looked up, gave him a disapproving look, and asked, "Are you good at chatting with girls?"

Lu Yuanqiu chuckled dismissively: "Then when..." He paused slightly, then changed his words: "I don't know how. I'm too honest, I'm bad with words, and I don't know how to talk to the opposite sex. Apart from you, I've never chatted privately with any other girls."

Bai Qingxia opened her mouth as if to bring up old grievances, but Lu Yuanqiu quickly interrupted her: "Let's analyze it for Cao Shuang instead."

"She took your picture so you could see her, not her clothes... If Ruan Yueru is a special case and really just wants you to see her clothes, then her reply 'It's not interesting' after you complimented her on her looks must have been because she was shy," Bai Qingxia explained to Cao Shuang. Xiaxia must have analyzed it by projecting her own feelings onto him... Lu Yuanqiu chuckled inwardly, while simultaneously flattering her, "Xiaxia is really beautiful."

Bai Qingxia glanced at him and replied perfunctorily, "You're so interesting~"

“…Why aren’t you ashamed? You don’t love me.” After saying that, Lu Yuanqiu dramatically clenched his fist and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

Cao Shuang: "..."

He doesn't want to come out with them next time.

However, Lu Yuanqiu had never received a selfie from Bai Qingxia. The only selfie on her phone was a close-up photo with a blue background.

There are even Chinese women who are beautiful but don't like taking selfies.

Cao Shuang took the phone back.

Lu Yuanqiu: "What's your current situation?"

“We don’t chat often, only during holidays. She has a lot of classes every day, so we rarely see each other,” Cao Shuang explained.

Lu Yuanqiu: "I think you'll be able to get back on track after she graduates."

Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang laughed foolishly.

……

Winter break is over, and this time I'm taking the high-speed rail back home.

Su Miaomiao is still staying at Zheng Yifeng's house. Lu Yuanqiu is quite curious about what they have been doing these past few days. It's so quiet that there's not a ripple, as if they are carrying out some kind of secret mission.

Bai Qingxia has already sent a message saying that her luggage is packed.

Pushing his suitcase out of the bedroom, Lu Yuanqiu saw that Lu Yidong's room door was wide open. He knocked and pushed the door open. Lu Yidong, who was sitting at the desk, turned around and glanced at Lu Yuanqiu's suitcase.

"Bye-Bye."

She said something dryly, then turned back to writing.

Lu Yuanqiu leaned against the door with a smile, arms crossed: "Brother's leaving, aren't you going to give me a goodbye hug?"

Lu Yidong paused in his pen, then scoffed and retorted, "Isn't that cheesy? It's not like we'll never see each other again."

Although he still says that his sister is like a blank sheet of paper, Lu Yuanqiu can sense that Lu Yidong's tone of voice has become much more mature and less childish recently.

“Your father is very straightforward in his thoughts and words, and you know him well. Don’t argue with him or anything. Don’t forget that you used to like him the most. His discipline of you is also because he cares about you,” Lu Yuanqiu said.

Lu Yidong responded calmly, "This time, instead of just farting, he opened the door and started nagging like a parent."

Lu Yuanqiu sighed.

"Because Dongdong has grown up, she's a young lady now. How can I still bully you like a little kid? Your brother may be a bit cheeky, but your brother cares about you just like your father does. Whether you have a girlfriend, get married, have children, or start your own family, we will always share the surname Lu. I am the autumn that departs, and you are the winter that arrives."

Lu Yuanqiu laughed as he said this, and remarked, "Mom chose such a good name; you can tell from the name that she actually prefers winter."

Lu Yidong stopped writing. In fact, she hadn't opened her notebook, and the door was left wide open. She knew it was her brother's school day.

The chair moved back with a jarring sound. Lu Yidong stood up, her eyes red. She walked towards the door with her head down, opened her arms and hugged Lu Yuanqiu. Lu Yuanqiu smiled and hugged her back, patting her head.

"Goodbye, brother."

"Okay, you must study hard."
