Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 52 Anchor Point
how long?
In Zuo You’s eyes, it’s only a few months.

I saw it during Labor Day.

Before returning to school, she gave some pocket money to the kid who was about to take the college entrance examination. He said in a sullen tone that only spineless men spend women's money, which made her laugh so hard.

But in Xia An's eyes, it was a long time, too long.

Before rebirth, sixteen years, eight months and seven days.

One month and twelve days after rebirth.

Xia An still remembered the day of their divorce when Le Ning asked him: Why is it that a man’s white moonlight is always unforgettable?

He didn't answer.

Because Zuo You is not Bai Yueguang.

Xia An even hated the term "white moonlight".

The best years of his life, the best person, was ultimately unattainable and was given the name "white moonlight" by the world.

But he got everything that Xiaoyouzi had.

He just didn't want to forget.

Why forget?
In my previous life, I was just stubborn and obstinate, and I didn't realize the possibility of having both.

So it looks deeper, more literary, and more profound, which hurts Le Ning.

But not in this life.

Not to mention having both fish and bear's paw, even the restaurant and the chef were packed up and taken away.

Zuo You is not Bai Yueguang.

It may not even be an obsession.

It's the anchor point.

It is the anchor of the most sincere feelings that Yuanshi has sought throughout his life.

It is a time and space anchor point that traces back to this life.

As long as she is here, standing here so pretty and lively.

It means that in the past twenty years, I have existed and loved.

It also means that the thirty-six-year-old self has replaced the twenty-year-old self, and in all the future of this life, I will continue to love simply without any scruples.

Love the world, love Zuoyou.

Love this rebirth that seems real and illusory.

……

Just light pecks, non-violent.

Once again in the best youth, it happened a long time earlier than the original world, and the initiative was reversed.

The location changed from the hotel to the kitchen.

Zuo You's first kiss was taken away by Xia An.

And gave a clumsy response.

Little Youzi was confused.

It was the first time that she was surprised by Xia An, and the first time that she showed shyness in front of Xia An.

For the first time, he looked at Xia An with an expression that said, "So you are such a little brat."

It was the first time I sat side by side with Xia An and had a meal together.

Physical contact can deepen feelings, but Xia An didn't mean it.

After all, it is still very abrupt to hug and kiss your lover on the same day.

I just can't help myself.

Xia An glanced at Little Youzi, who was stuffing rice mouthful by mouthful with her spoon, looking down at him. It was obvious that she was trying to find a topic but her mind was in a mess and she didn't know what to say. She thought it was all over.

Could it be that Sister Youzi, who is so heroic and likes to take the initiative, is ruined by me?

Will you become a soft and chubby grapefruit sister in the future?

Xia An still misses her sister very much when she thinks of the sister who immediately dragged her to the hotel because she touched her chest by the lake, and pressed her on the carpet with a blushing face but a smile.

Zuo You said, "No matter what the future holds, I've given you my best self."

Now this Zuo You said, "You have become a bad person."

"Huh? What?"

Xia An put away his silly smile, came back to his senses and asked in confusion.

Xiao Youzi tapped him with the handle of a spoon, then rested her chin on her hand and blinked, "How could you be so good? Did you have a girlfriend in high school?"

Xia An swore, "Definitely not in high school."

But there are a lot of them this summer.

He subconsciously wanted to say that male animals' mating skills are innate.

But he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere by talking nonsense, so he said he learned it from TV.

Girls become emotional earlier. When she recalled seeing some scenes on TV where they had to cover their eyes in front of their parents, wasn’t the person she thought of the same childhood sweetheart... Zuo You pursed her lips and lowered her head, not saying a word.

She only cooked a small bowl of rice for herself.

He ate half a bowl and poured the rest onto Xia An's clean plate.

Seeing this instinctive action, Xia An smiled knowingly and picked up the chopsticks again. His memories spanned two lifetimes and returned to his childhood.

===
——Xia An, I can’t eat anymore.

——I can’t eat it either.

——You are a boy, you need to grow up. Look, you are so much shorter than me now, please help me eat it.

——Why should I always have to eat your leftovers!
——I made fried rice for you because you said you were hungry. I learned it from my dad for a long time. I almost fell down while standing on the stool just now. You have to help me eat it.

——Okay…ba.

……

——Sister Youzi, I’m hungry. My mom went to play mahjong.

——If you praise my dance, I will make you fried rice.

——I…don’t think it’s that pretty.

——You are drooling, you are staring at my legs, Xiao Xia'an, hehe, you are a hooligan.

——I…I don’t want to eat anymore!
……

——Xiao Xia'an, you are not allowed to have long hair like theirs.

——Why?
——Perming and dyeing are also not allowed.

——Why?! I want to be Rukawa Kaede!
——I don’t like Rukawa anymore, I like Sendoh.

……

——Xia An! I sprained my ankle. Why are you walking so fast?
——Men and women should not touch each other, so I won’t help you.

...

——You just finished dancing and your socks are smelly. I won’t rub them for you.

——Hee, Xia An, your hands are shaking.

——Smoked!

Zuo You reached out and took the canvas bag.

After opening it, he took out various things one by one.

"Ding ding ding, do you recognize this?"

She became like an older sister again, holding a large colorful box and showing it to Xia An.

Like Xia An's first Audi Double Diamond, her first genuine steel-shaft yo-yo, her first pair of Nike shoes...

This is a Polaroid camera.

It was quite expensive in 2006.

Xia An knew that this was the gift she prepared for herself to get into college.

This was also the case in the original world.

Zuo You helped him unpack it, fiddled with it according to the instructions, stuffed in the photo paper, and was about to take a picture of Xia Eucalyptus.

Xia An reached out to stop him and said, "Wait a minute."

After picking up Xiao Youzi's leftovers, he took the camera, moved closer to her, and held it up. Zuo Youzi understood and smiled sweetly.

Before the snap, he turned his head and kissed Xia An's left cheek.

While waiting for the photo paper, Zuo You took his arm and said:
"It's strange. I'm not excited anymore."

"What's not exciting?"

Xia An asked while helping her tie her hair.

The hairband is black with an egg yolk-colored cartoon grapefruit on it.

"All the way back, I was thinking about what it would be like for us to be together."

"So what did you think it felt like before?"

Her hair was tied into a smooth ponytail.

From the back, it looks like Le Ning.

Hearing him ask this, Zuo You covered her mouth and laughed, then turned her head to look at him carefully and said:

"I think the most likely scenario is that you'll stand tall, put your head in your pockets and say, 'Oh, that's fine.'"

After saying that, even Xia An laughed.

Very likely.

It’s very similar to how I used to act cool back then.

He thought, if he hadn't gone to college and seen how enthusiastically Zuo You was pursued by boys, which inspired him to actively pursue her, Yuan Shi would probably have waited for her to speak first.

Or, just drag and drag... until this restaurant turns into ashes.

You will never be able to express your feelings again, and thus miss out on your whole life.

Thinking of this, Xia An immediately ran to the kitchen under the pretext of pouring water to check whether the gas tank was tightened.

After coming back, he walked behind Zuo You again, put his arms around her, bent down and spoke something to her face.

At first, Zuo You thought that the little boy had suddenly become mature after not seeing him for a few months and was going to formally confess his feelings to her in a caring way.

This sentence made her stunned.

"Are you tired?"

An hour ago, 22-year-old Zuo You would definitely say she was not tired.

She is just like that. Everyone experiences pain, tiredness and sadness, but she never says anything.

She always has a pair of friendly and smiling peach blossom eyes towards everyone around her.

"very tired."

"Ah."

Xia An asked her to sit down while he cleaned the pots and pans. Then he helped her carry everything and held her hand while he said, "Let's go upstairs."

Unable to contain my curiosity, I climbed up from the second floor and saw the lights in the restaurant were off. I saw my son and Xiao Youzi walking out hand in hand in the falling rain.
Xia Kangning and Wei Xiaofang, who had been peeping side by side through the bedroom window for a while, smiled at each other.

……

Went upstairs.

Zuo You stood at the door of her house and took out her key.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally looked at Xia An anxiously and asked, "Are Uncle Xia and Aunt Wei asleep?"

Xia An smiled and said, "It's almost three o'clock. I fell asleep when I came out."

Separated by a door.

Xia Kangning and Wei Xiaofang, who were leaning against the door side by side, nodded repeatedly and mouthed: Go to sleep, go to sleep.

No matter how proactive Ren Zuoyou pretended to be, he really didn't want to take Xia An home today.

It’s not a question of “going home”, the problem is that there is no one else at home.

Xia An noticed her hesitation, stepped forward, touched her head and said with a smile, "I'm a serious person."

"Pooh!", considering all his behavior tonight, he is really a big shot, Zuo You thought.

But she still placed her trust in him, rolled her eyes at him, and opened the door.

They both filed in.

opposite.

Xia Kangning was extremely anxious and pulled Wei Xiaofang who was peeking through the peephole.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you go in?"

Wei Xiaofang shrank her neck, covered her mouth with her hands, and nodded vigorously: "It's in, it's in."

Xia Kangning sighed deeply, then said with deep comfort: "Old Zuo, Old Zuo, please let my son repay your daughter's kindness on my behalf."

Yanjing, a hotel.

Zuo Dashu tossed and turned, his heart pounding, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.

One night, one day and one night, a man and a woman alone.

My dear daughter!

……

Xia An has been coming to Zuo You's house almost every day since he was a child.

Either they eat and drink for free, or they watch the dance for free.

It has become a habit.

He and Zuo You are both used to it.

But today was different. Zuo You seemed very flustered after entering the house.

She hurriedly found slippers for Xia An, hurriedly washed him up, and hurriedly asked him if he wanted to watch TV or something.

Xia An saw her panic.

He walked over and picked up Zuo You.

After being stunned for two seconds, Zuo You saw him carrying her towards the bedroom. She covered her mouth and screamed, kicking her legs.

Lian said, "No, Xiao Xia'an, this definitely won't work."

Xia An smiled and put her on the single bed, then sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed.

Zuo You breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia An said, "You sleep on yours and I'll keep you company. I sleep on mine and you'll keep me company."

Zuo You was about to laugh when she heard Xia An say:

"Today is a memorable day. We will not separate until we each board our trains tomorrow."

Zuo You nodded sweetly.

Xia An's ticket to Binhai is at 7: tomorrow morning, which means there are still twenty-eight hours left.

Zuo You’s train ticket back to Yanjing leaves at 8 o’clock tonight, which is still nineteen hours away.

Zuo You was wrapped in a summer quilt, and her hand was held by Xia An who was sitting on the floor.

She was really sleepy. She had been on the train for more than ten hours, feeling anxious and anticipating, without closing her eyes for even a second.

As soon as Xia An asked, "Are you tired?", fatigue inexplicably swept over him.

Holding his hand and feeling his warmth, Zuo You felt very secure and very... happy.

Before I fell into a drowsy sleep, I heard Xia An softly narrating with his chin resting on his hand.

Yuzu, I have grown up and understand what it means to cherish.

I firmly believe that when we meet each other and our fate begins, it is the most appropriate time.

Every day in the past and in the future, I will be grateful to God for letting me live across from you and growing up with you at the best distance.

I like you, and I will use all my time in the future to prove it.

I care about you and am afraid of losing you.

The era we live in is very materialistic and realistic.

Many people in love will miss each other because of money, distance, or all kinds of incredible things, which will become a lifelong regret.

But we won’t, we definitely won’t.

"From now on, you can tell me all the sadness and grievances in your heart."
