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

Chapter 690 Fire, Firewood, and Fencers

"Sizzle sizzle~ Sizzle sizzle~"

The three characters for Big Ben were in colorful paint, like a bunch of paint splashed on randomly. The renovation worker came out of the room, glanced at the sign, saw that the sign was lit up normally, and went inside.

Suddenly he saw four students sitting at the door, so he turned back, raised his hand to greet them, and smiled sheepishly: "Sunbathing?"

Lu Yuanqiu: "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Master."

"It's okay, it's almost done."

Bai Qingxia felt that this renovation worker had a middle-aged man vibe; he had dark skin, a simple and honest smile, and liked to greet people.

Her scattered thoughts were brought back to the present, and it seemed that they were discussing an extremely serious topic—marriage.

Two words that seem so distant... Zhong Jincheng is amazing; he did so many things that she never dared to even think about before, or even now.

Bai Qingxia now thinks that Zhong Jincheng is the most adult-like among them. Lu Yuanqiu is only occasionally like an adult, and Zheng Yifeng is an adult by nature. Only she is becoming more and more like a child, and she always likes to get jealous and sulk over trivial matters.

Does this also mean she is happier than before?

...My thoughts wandered off again without me noticing.

Bai Qingxia, who was sitting in the chair, began to bend over, hugging her calves with both hands, preparing to be a quiet listener in the discussion that followed, since no one usually listened to her advice anyway... The reason for this seemed to be that she usually didn't offer any advice.

"Your decision..." Luo Wei frowned slightly, her face full of surprise.

Undeniably, she felt that Chung Kam-ching was now very responsible, but she still hoped that he could discuss things with her in advance most of the time.

"Isn't this a bit too hasty and hasty?" Luo Wei finished speaking.

Zhong Jincheng sat up slightly: "Don't you want me to marry you?"

“I’d like to, but… my parents don’t even know your specific situation yet. I’m too embarrassed to tell them your age. I’m thinking of formally introducing you to them after we’ve been dating for a few years.”

Zhong Jincheng was speechless for a moment, but he understood Luo Wei's feelings.

Lu Yuanqiu chuckled dryly and looked over: "Let me say something. Actually, there are still four months until summer vacation. In my opinion, it's not too rushed. It's good that you've explained things clearly now, senior. Let's hear Zhong Jincheng's thoughts first, and then we can solve the problem at hand step by step."

Bai Qingxia, hugging her knees, smiled slightly, inwardly agreeing with Lu Yuanqiu's suggestion.

Zhong Jincheng nodded: "Yes, it's been four months, and her belly is already showing. I don't want my senior to get pregnant without knowing anything about it. If we delay any longer, and her belly gets even bigger, or the baby is born, wouldn't it be even harder to explain to your parents? If we can't get a marriage certificate, let's have a wedding first."

Lu Yuanqiu nodded in agreement.

He then turned to Bai Qingxia and asked, "What do you think, Boss Bai?"

Bai Qingxia sat up slightly and spoke clearly: "I think it's also possible."

Luo Wei was clearly more willing to compromise than Su Miaomiao, or rather, she preferred to let Zhong Jincheng be the one to make the decision. After thinking for a moment, she nodded: "That's possible, but we have to meet the parents first, right?"

Lu Yuanqiu: "I remember your parents are in Zhucheng?"

Luo Wei shook her head: "They recently went back to Lucheng to visit relatives. I only have one relative in Zhucheng, my cousin. I think since both sets of parents are in Lucheng, why don't we pick a weekend to go back to Lucheng and arrange for them to meet?"

Bai Qingxia took out her phone and reminded him at the opportune moment: "Tomorrow is the weekend."

“So fast…” Zhong Jincheng suddenly covered his head with his hands.

"What the hell?!" Lu Yuanqiu slapped him on the head: "You brought it up first, and now you're backing out at the last minute?!"

Zhong Jincheng retorted, "No, I didn't! I was just expressing my feelings." Luo Wei observed him carefully, and suddenly heard Zhong Jincheng murmur, "I didn't expect that my senior didn't tell her parents about me."

Luo Wei expressed some apology: "I did mention that I have a boyfriend... They were very happy to hear that because they know I don't have many friends or much of a social life. I just didn't mention anything about your age, because I was afraid they wouldn't approve."

"I'm so angry and cold. Why can't relationships between older women and younger men be accepted?"

Lu Yuanqiu pounded his chest in frustration, then suddenly laughed, leaned back, turned to look at Bai Qingxia, and said smugly, "Luckily, I'm half a year older than Xiaxia~"

Bai Qingxia(='_'=)
...Should I say something?

Zhong Jincheng and Luo Wei also didn't want to pay attention to Lu Yuanqiu's inexplicable boasting.

“Alright then, I’ll book the tickets…” Zhong Jincheng stood up from his chair and walked in one direction.

Luo Wei followed him like a devoted wife.

“Actually, I think my dad would explode too.” Zhong Jincheng suddenly turned to look at her.

Luo Wei shook her head: "It's okay, my parents will be even more furious."

Zhong Jincheng rolled his eyes: "What...is there to compare?"

Luo Wei punched him lightly: "Anyway, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Just tell them we're determined to get married!"

Zhong Jincheng nodded solemnly.

Watching the two leave without saying goodbye, Lu Yuanqiu called out, "Where are you two going?"

Chung Kam-ching: "Find a place to call my dad and arrange a time with him."

Luo Wei turned around and pointed at him: "I don't know where he goes, I don't know where I go..."

The two left in a hurry, leaving Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia sitting in their original seats.

"I always felt that their relationship was very casual and progressed very quickly, with a crazy feeling that they were going to pursue it to the death," Lu Yuanqiu commented.

Bai Qingxia: "They are like fire and firewood, their personalities are very compatible."

Lu Yuanqiu inexplicably thought of the phrase "dry wood and raging fire." Bai Qingxia's observation was quite meticulous, although Lu Yuanqiu knew that Bai Qingxia hadn't thought of it that way at all.

She may simply feel that what Zhong Jincheng and Luo Wei desperately lacked emotionally was precisely what the other could provide.

Lu Yuanqiu turned his head: "What about Zheng Yifeng and Teacher Su?"

Bai Qingxia rested her fist on her chin and thought for a moment before saying, "They are like a pair of fencing opponents in a canoe. In the attack, one advances and the other retreats, but if one side loses, the other side will fall into the water due to the imbalance. They need to rescue each other in the water before they can get ashore together and continue fencing."

If the two of them can't get married, they won't reach the shore, but perhaps they'll still be stuck in that canoe... Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.

It sounds interesting, but the most difficult relationship is actually between couples who have already made up their minds.

Bai Qingxia rarely expressed such opinions and had always been a silent bystander. I didn't expect her to see things so clearly.

"Oh, two people left?" The renovation worker came out at this moment, holding four empty milk tea cups in his hand.

He placed the milk tea cups printed with his personal introductions of "Autumn" and "Summer" on the small table by the door and poured some boiled water into them.
