No one understands rebirth better than me

What's up with Chapter 117? (Happy Labor Day~)

Bangdang…

dong dong dong-

"Guan Ren, what are you doing in the house?"

"Nothing... Holy crap!"

"What did you say to yourself?"

"Uh, cough... I said I... I'm fine!"

……

Actually, Guan Ren wasn't very good.

His new phone, the Samsung Galaxy S2, has a replaceable battery, so he bought a universal charger online, thinking it would save him about 10 yuan.

Although he should not be short of money now.

But when it comes to shopping, sometimes saving a little money can be a unique kind of fun, regardless of how much money you have.

After buying the universal charger, Guan Ren discovered a problem.

Like many universal chargers on the market, it lights up two scrolling lights after being plugged in.

This resulted in Guan Ren having to charge the other battery at night, as the glaring colored lights would flash incessantly in the room, severely disrupting his sleep.

Of course, Guan Ren had also considered solutions.

For example, you could take it to another room to charge, or put a piece of tape over the light source to soften it.

But overall, none of them felt quite right.

So Guan Ren decided to return the goods.

However, the seller included a lot of small gadgets with the purchase of this universal charger.

For example, there are two fishbone cable organizers, a SIM card ejector tool, a card asking for positive reviews, the main unit's packaging box, shockproof foam, and an instruction manual.

In short, what was originally only half the size of a palm, together with other miscellaneous items, filled the small delivery box to the brim.

When Guan Ren took it out, it was easy to take it apart. He just ripped it open and everything came out with a clatter.

But now, when I try to put the returned item back in, I don't know why I can't seem to get it back in.

When I close the lid of the cardboard box, it always sticks out a little bit.

It's like when you reassemble something that's been taken apart, you find that there's an extra part.

This annoyed Guan Ren a lot, and he even accidentally dropped the item on the ground after trying it twice.

"Damn it..."

On the third and final attempt, Guan Ren lost his patience.

blah-

He ripped off the tape and tightly sealed the bulging cardboard box shut.

Even if it doesn't cover up completely, just make sure it's tightly wrapped.

but…

Looking at it this way...

This little cardboard box does give off a bit of that "plump, mature woman in a small dress being bound in a tortoise shell" vibe...

"!"

No, what nonsense...

Guan Ren shook his head; this association was too far-fetched.

But it's not something he can control.

All I can say is that Xiao Chunan, at his age, has quite a vivid imagination when it comes to the dojo.

--------

Sunday evening self-study session.

Before the first class.

"Hey..."

"Hehe, Sister Gu, you're not good enough."

"..."

It was another precious moment for exes to reunite. Guan Ren downloaded the latest version of Temple Run on his phone and competed with Xiao Lihua to see who could score higher. The rule was that if the record was broken, the other person would take over.

As a result, Gu Youli was about to surpass Guan Ren's latest high score several times, but she always failed due to nervousness.

"Come again."

Little Pear Blossom gritted her white teeth and said sullenly.

"Again?"

Guan Ren jokingly pointed to an open math book on her desk:

"Not studying?"

"I'm not learning anymore..."

"?"

Guan Ren was shocked:

"Sister Gu, you've gone bad."

"..."

Haha, yes, she's gone bad.

So who's to blame?
It’s really hard to guess.

So Gu Youli stopped guessing and just stared at Guan Ren, her eyes flashing intriguingly.

"cough…"

Guan Ren felt a pang of guilt.

However, despite feeling guilty.

But to be fair, Guan Ren fell in love with Xiao Lihua every time he saw her, despite her seemingly indifferent appearance, her eyes revealing a hint of grievance and even resentment.

Although Guan Ren is not a big bad wolf, Gu Youli is not a little lamb.

But this kind of girl always makes Guan Ren feel an urge to either bully her or feel sorry for her.

what…

What a wonderful girl!
"Ah, the battery is out."

"It's alright, I still have batteries."

Playing games drains the battery, so Guan Ren skillfully opened the back cover, removed the empty battery, installed a new one, and let Gu Youli play another game. In this game, Gu Youli successfully surpassed Guan Ren's score.

So she slightly raised her pretty chin, and her ponytail swayed behind her head.

"Sure, but..."

Guan Ren's gaze held both approval and concern:

"You've been playing for so long, Sister Gu, aren't your hands worn out?"

"?"

I've never heard of playing mobile games causing your hands to wear out.

But Guan Ren, out of concern for his deskmate, took Xiao Lihua's fingers and, with a serious expression, began to carefully stroke them:

"I'm not comfortable with that, let me check..."

"..."

Gu Youli's nostrils twitched slightly; she really wanted to expose this guy's clumsy lie.

But this time, Guan Ren quickly moved beyond her fingers and began to explore the back and palm of her hand. The ticklish and tingling sensation made Gu Youli nervous. Her heart pounded, and she didn't even have time to stop him.

Just let him "inspect" it.

When he switched to his other hand, Gu Youli finally couldn't help but scold him:

"Have you finished your checkup? Are there any problems?"

“Yeah, it really is.”

Guan Ren held Gu Youli's little hands, pinching, grabbing, and touching them in various ways, like a charlatan:
"Oh dear...it feels like all my fingerprints have been worn away, it's heartbreaking..."

"..."

"This one too, this one too... wait? The palm print seems to be gone too."

"..."

"But it doesn't matter, watch me blow a breath of magic and turn it back."

Guan Ren's words became increasingly outrageous, and then he actually blew a breath of hot air into Xiao Lihua's palm, causing Gu Youli to pull her hand back slightly, but not too far, and her naughty deskmate continued to play tricks on her.

Jingle Bell--

However, his mischief didn't last long; the school bell rang soon after, and Guan Ren had no choice but to reluctantly let go.

"Never mind, I'll check it next time... Oh, no, I feel like I need to check it every time I use my phone."

"Pooh!"

Gu Youli spat at him speechlessly:

"You clearly...you just want to..."

She hesitated for a while, but ultimately didn't reveal what Guan Ren wanted to do.

Guan Ren, on the contrary, smiled shamelessly:
"Hey, I really want to."

"Miss you my foot..."

A faint blush crept across Gu Youli's face, forbidding him from thinking any further:

Go back to your seat.

"Okay, are you going to keep playing next class?"

Gu Youli turned her head slightly and glanced around haphazardly:
"Um…"

"Then I'll continue checking in the next class."

"..."

Gu Youli remained silent, and Guan Renquan took it as her consent.

------------

However, life is full of disappointments.

After the first self-study period, Guan Ren was happily holding his phone, about to go find his ex, when another petite figure blocked his way at his desk:

"Guan Ren, lend me your phone."

"?"

Guan Ren looked up in astonishment. Qingmei, expressionless, was extending a small, delicate hand, comparable in size to someone else's, in front of him.

"Don't you have a cell phone?"

Guan Ren muttered to himself, trying to "inspect" Luo Xiaobei's hands as well, but Luo Xiaobei slapped his pig's trotter away without hesitation.
"Mine is out of power."

"Then I'll lend you my battery."

That's one of the advantages of two people buying a "plum machine".

"No."

"don't want?"

"Ugh, your battery is dirty, black, and ugly. Don't put it in my phone..."

"..."

Guan Ren's eyelids twitched as he listened; this guy's thought process was truly...

Regardless, Guan Ren still gave the phone to Luo Xiaobei.

"Hey."

Ke Luo Xiao Bei was still not satisfied. She rested her chin on her hand on her desk, blinking her eyes and smiling at him.
"There's no teacher for the next class, why don't you switch seats with Du Zihan?"

"what?"

"If you don't want to do it, then stay with me~"

"..."

Guan Ren felt that this guy was becoming less and less reserved.

After blurting out "I won't do it," Luo Xiaobei secretly blushed, but quickly changed the subject, grabbing his arm and shaking it while humming slowly and deliberately:

Are you going to change it or not?

"Change, change, change..."

"Hee hee~"

That's good.

In fact, Luo Xiaobei didn't lack time to spend a class with Guan Ren.

After all, he was her childhood sweetheart. If she wanted to be with him, why would she be afraid of not having time?
The main point is that this way, at least Luo Xiaobei won't have to watch him running off to be all close to Gu Youli, secretly doing who-knows-what...
