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

Chapter 831 Besides me, who do you sleep with?
"If we're any later, we won't be able to catch the bus!"

Seeing Cao Shuang quicken his pace and walk towards them, Lu Yuanqiu stepped forward and, like a mother hen, slapped his shoulder twice: "Serves you right for being late! Serves you right for being late!"

"I had a bit of an upset stomach this morning... It's nothing, I'm keeping an eye on the time," Cao Shuang replied with an awkward smile, without looking at Ruan Yueru.

Ruan Yueru stared directly at Cao Shuang without any attempt to hide her gaze, her reddened eyes glistening with tears. But this gaze was like a needle prick to Cao Shuang. He forced a dry smile at Lu Yuanqiu, lowered his head, and walked towards the entrance first: "Let's go, it's time to check tickets."

Ruan Yueru turned her head to look at his back, and tears streamed down her face.

Bai Qingxia couldn't bear to watch, so she took out a clean tissue and handed it to her. Ruan Yueru took it, lowered her head, and exhaled a trembling breath.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give him some psychological counseling this time." Lu Yuanqiu said to Ruan Yueru. After a pause, he looked at Bai Qingxia beside him, put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms, adding, "Uh, it's us."

Seeing that Bai Qingxia didn't react, Lu Yuanqiu smiled and pinched the soft flesh on her arm.

Bai Qingxia turned to look at him, and after understanding what he meant, she quickly turned her face to Ruan Yueru, forcing a tough smile at the corners of her mouth.

...She's just not good at providing psychological counseling (゜-゜)
On the high-speed train, the four people's seats were in the same row, but there was one seat across the aisle on the other side. Lu Yuanqiu glanced over there and took the initiative to sit there. Seeing this, Bai Qingxia sat on the outermost of the three seats on this side, deliberately "sealing" the two awkward people, Ruan Yueru, inside.

Bai Qingxia, being a "sealed object," curiously observed the two people inside. Seeing their profound silence, she raised her finger and scratched her cheek, unsure of what to do. All she could do was watch the show... Therefore, Lu Yuanqiu should be sitting in her position, since he was far better at stirring up the atmosphere than she was.

What is Lu Yuanqiu thinking?!

Thinking of this, she looked towards Lu Yuanqiu again, but unexpectedly met the gaze of another man, the man sitting inside Lu Yuanqiu, who was secretly watching her.

Caught red-handed, the man hastily looked away.

Bai Qingxia also looked away, understanding why Lu Yuanqiu had taken the initiative to sit down there.

It's normal for male passersby to peek at her; it doesn't mean they're bad people. But Lu Yuanqiu would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingxia suddenly felt a little wonderful.

She stood up, took Lu Yuanqiu's bag off the shelf, unzipped it, and was about to take out the water when Lu Yuanqiu glanced to the side and instantly made a meme-worthy expression.

He quickly stood up, snatched the bag from Bai Qingxia's hand, and asked her, "What...what are you going to do?"

Bai Qingxia stared blankly at him, and at that moment her mood suddenly turned sour again.

Her eyes darkened, and she stared at Lu Yuanqiu for a long time before explaining, "...I just wanted to get you some water."

What's inside you? Why are you afraid I'll see?

She is no longer the Bai Qingxia who would only sulk.

Upon hearing this, Cao Shuang and Ruan Yueru both turned to look at them.

Lu Yuanqiu blinked, forcing a smile as he said, "There are... some unsightly things that wouldn't be good for you to see."

After he finished speaking, he nodded solemnly, indicating his affirmation once again. Bai Qingxia, however, frowned and tilted her head, not quite understanding.

Cao Shuang thought for a moment and then helped explain: "It's... a boy's thing."

He didn't actually know what it was.

Bai Qingxia was puzzled for a moment, then seemed to understand something. She suddenly pulled her hands back as if they were moving away, and her gaze towards Lu Yuanqiu was quite strange.

Lu Yuanqiu forced a smile... There have been so many misunderstandings like this lately.

I reckon he's already the second-generation gun god in Bai Qingxia's heart.

Ruan Yueru was still puzzled: "What are boys' things?"

Bai Qingxia silently lowered her head: "..."

Cao Shuang turned to look out the car window, pretending to be an outsider again.

One minute later, Lu Yuanqiu received a message from Bai Qingxia questioning him.

Bai Qingxia: You're not behaving yourself even though you're at a concert, that's so unfair. ??? Lu Yuanqiu raised his head, looking innocently at Bai Qingxia, only to see her glare at him. He then forcefully turned his head to the other side.

Although she looks so cute when she's angry, well... never mind.

Lu Yuanqiu comforted himself with the thought of enduring hardship and biding his time.

Huh? Why does the phrase "sleeping on firewood and tasting gall" seem so familiar?

Cao Shuang was staring out the window when his stomach suddenly growled. He frowned and glanced in the direction of the high-speed train's restroom, but considering that Ruan Yueru was next to him, he hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything.

Ruan Yueru glanced at Cao Shuang, and when their eyes met, Cao Shuang hurriedly turned away, hunching over and discreetly covering his stomach with his right hand.

Seeing this, Ruan Yueru felt a little heartbroken, thinking that Cao Shuang still didn't want to talk to her.

After getting off the high-speed train, Cao Shuang rushed to the restroom.

Lu Yuanqiu muttered to himself, "It seems he really was late because of an upset stomach..."

"Is it a big problem?" Ruan Yueru asked with a worried expression.

"Ask him yourself."

"..."

Half an hour later, the four arrived at a hotel near the stadium. At the counter, Lu Yuanqiu looked at the three people next to him and asked hesitantly, "How do we book?"

Before the three people next to them could speak, the girl at the front desk interrupted apologetically: "I'm sorry, because of a concert nearby, we only have two double rooms left. You see..."

Lu Yuanqiu nodded: "Okay, let's book two double rooms."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ruan Yueru and asked, "Who do you sleep with?"

"Either is fine," Ruan Yueru replied listlessly.

Hearing this, the receptionist looked over curiously. Lu Yuanqiu quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean 'anything goes'? Besides you, there's only one other girl here, and... besides me, who else... are you sleeping with?"

Lu Yuanqiu's eyes darted around Cao Shuang, and he felt like his eyelids were about to cramp up.

Ruan Yueru, however, seemed not to see it.

"Brother Qiu, why don't you share a room with Bai Qingxia, and I'll look for another hotel?" Cao Shuang suggested.

Since he had said that, Lu Yuanqiu sighed and said, "Let's have one room for the two of us, and the two of them can have one room for the two of us."

Cao Shuang nodded.

Ruan Yueru remained dejected, her head hanging low.

Bai Qingxia, who was leaning against the counter, looked at Lu Yuanqiu, who smiled and said, "Do you want to share a room with me?"

"No." Bai Qingxia glared at him and turned her head back.

The four of them packed their luggage and went into their respective rooms, which happened to be adjacent to each other. Lu Yuanqiu put down his bag and lay down on the bed in a "spread-eagle" position.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Shuangzi, you..."

"Wait a minute, Brother Qiu is here again!" Cao Shuang said, quickly dropping his bag and rushing into the bathroom.

"Pfft!"

Lu Yuanqiu lay on the bed speechless: "..."
