No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 131 The Teacher's Sister

"Hello? Sister."

"Youli, I've arrived in the city. Have you eaten properly?"

"Yes, there is..."

After finishing the last Chinese class for Class 7, Gu Wancheng set off for the city in the afternoon.

As soon as I arrived at the hotel that evening, I immediately called my younger sister at home.

On the phone, however, the younger sister unusually stammered.

"Um, sister, about food, I...I..."

"?What's wrong?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Wancheng frowned. When she heard Gu Youli mention the word "eating," she immediately felt quite distressed.

It seems she's not used to eating out for the next month...

Sigh, that's true. I usually make these for her myself, so she's really been wronged this time.

"Youli, just bear with it for a while and make do outside."

"..."

"Eating out isn't good for your growing body, but a month isn't too bad. The key is to eat well on time. I'll cook you something delicious when I get back."

"..."

Although her tone remained habitual, or rather, it was the aloofness that was inherited from the Gu family.

At this moment, Gu Youli could still hear the concern Gu Wancheng had for her.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Gu Youli felt even more reluctant to mention her particular bad deskmate.

As for his invitation to his home for dinner, she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.

"I understand, sister..."

"Ah."

So, Gu Youli eventually decided to stop talking about it.

Anyway, eating is eating, no matter where you eat...

Moreover, not only Guan Ren, but also her sister said on the phone that it wasn't good to eat out, so... could she interpret that... her sister actually tacitly approved of her eating at other classmates' houses?

Well…

That's how it should be understood...

Gu Youli kept telling herself this.

Then, after going to bed that night, I made the phone call.

beep--

"Hey?"

"Hey... Guan Ren..."

"Hey~"

……

Guan Ren now feels that the most pleasant thing every day is when he talks to Xiao Lihua on the phone at night and hears her softly call out "Guan Ren".

I always feel it would be very therapeutic.

Perhaps this is what they call the legendary little joys.

However, compared to a phone call, hearing her whispered words directly beside me on the pillow would bring a more tangible sense of happiness…

Of course, I was just thinking about it.

The main reason is that I've been watching too much "The Deer and the Cauldron" lately. As a normal man, it's normal to sometimes have inexplicable fantasies.

But then again, since it's just imagination...

Why not be a little bolder in your thinking?
For example, putting aside Little Pear Blossom, isn't a certain announcer, Little Lemon, also quite suitable for this kind of pillow talk...?

So if, in my lifetime, I could hear these two people calling out "Guanren" from either side of me every night before I go to sleep, it would be more than enough to wash away the fatigue of the day, whether I was working or studying.

Well, as for Luo Xiaobei…

Guan Ren couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this guy.

Although Qingmei's voice is sweet and pleasant.

But it's basically limited to when she wants a hug.

Normally, people would say things like "surname Guan" or "pighead".

Guan Ren felt that such a title was inappropriate to hear before going to sleep.

One can imagine that if Luo Xiaobei were the one whispering sweet nothings in his ear, it wouldn't have any effect on calming him down; instead, it might have inexplicably stirred up a surge of anger within Guan Ren, making him want to find a way to vent his frustration before he could fall asleep.

As for how to vent in a way that both releases anger and shuts Luo Xiaobei up...

Just as Guan Ren's imagination was about to reach the answer, a call from the microphone interrupted his wandering thoughts.

……

"Guan Ren? Guan Ren!"

"Uh?!"

"Is the signal bad on your end?"

"Oh, a little bit, but now it's all right, you tell me."

"..."

Gu Youli had no choice but to repeat what she had said before.

The gist of it is that she didn't want to cause trouble for Guan Ren and his family.

But she had already said these polite refusals, and Guan Ren had already responded that it was alright.

Therefore, the key point is the final answer that Gu Youli gave after careful consideration:
Can I come to your house twice a week?

"twice?"

Guan Ren thought for a moment.

He personally would certainly like Gu Youli to come every day. And if she does come, he won't let Guan Qiaoyun have to work hard, as Guan Ren can easily cook for three people by himself.

But upon closer reflection, Gu Youli is not Luo Xiaobei after all.

They had never been to my house before.

They may have never even been to any of their classmates' homes.

This is the young lady's first time getting married, and she's already eating right away. If Guan Ren is too enthusiastic, she might think it's like kidnapping, and Xiao Lihua might misunderstand that he's arranged some kind of trap.

"Okay, let's come twice a week. It's better than eating out every day."

"Ah."

So Guan Ren agreed.

I've already made an agreement with Gu Youli that she'll come to my house for lunch two days a week during the next month when Gu Wancheng is away.

"Oh wait..."

However, after finishing the call, Guan Ren suddenly realized an important problem.

He had already discussed this with Gu Youli...

But I haven't mentioned it to Sister Qiaoyun yet.

dong dong dong-

"Come in."

"Sister Qiaoyun~"

"..."

Guan Qiaoyun leaned against the headboard, cucumber slices on her face, and when she saw Sha Da'er come in with a cup of hot milk, looking very attentive, she immediately sensed something was wrong:

"Guan Ren, don't tell me that this semester is almost over and you're going to have to call your parents again."

"how could be."

Guan Ren grinned and leaned closer:
"I just wanted to be considerate of you because you worked so hard in your yoga class the other day. Here, have it while it's still warm."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing while it's still hot... I can't move, you can put it there first."

Guan Qiaoyun didn't want to drink Guan Ren's milk while it was hot, because with many cucumber slices stuck to her face, it would be inconvenient for her to move around.

Guan Ren scratched his head impatiently, then opened his mouth and simply snatched a piece of cucumber from Guan Qiaoyun's face and ate it.

"???"

Guan Qiaoyun was both annoyed and amused, so she raised her delicate hand and smacked him on the forehead:
"What's wrong with you in the middle of the night? You're eating what I use as a face mask?"

"Anyway, you've washed your face, it's not dirty."

"Oh, so it's not dirty after washing? I've washed my feet too. What if I use it as a foot compress? You'd eat it too?"

"..."

That's a difficult question to answer.

Guan Ren merely glanced silently at Guan Qiaoyun's snow-white, slender feet, his throat bobbing, before he sat down on the edge of the bed with a grin, massaging Guan Qiaoyun's legs while getting down to business:
"Well, I have a classmate who might be... for the next month..."

He briefly explained the situation, and Guan Qiaoyun was initially quite surprised but not really bothered.

Until one question was asked:
Which classmate are you referring to?

"As for my previous deskmate, Sister Qiaoyun, didn't you always tell me that I should get along well with my deskmate?"

"Ha, I've taught you so much since you were little, but how much of it have you actually listened to?"

"Hey, a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold, look, I'm already listening... Okay, that's all for now, I'm going now, remember to drink your milk."

Wait, something's not right.

Guan Qiaoyun suddenly realized that this little rascal hadn't even answered her question yet, and was already running away after going around in circles?
"stop!"

"..."

"What kind of classmate is that?"

"Uh…"

"What goose, goose, goose, duck, duck, duck!"

Guan Qiaoyun had already sensed something and asked without expression:
"Is she a female classmate?"

"Um…"

Guan Ren rubbed his mouth:

"I already told you, it's my former deskmate, Gu Youli..."

"Oh."

Guan Qiaoyun nodded. So it was the one surnamed Gu.

hiss…

So, could it be that my son really has feelings for this girl...?

"Sister Qiaoyun, it's best if you don't agree! I'll go talk to her right now! Tsk, actually I was already thinking of refusing because it's too much trouble, but I only asked you as a formality because her sister is our Chinese teacher..."

"?!"

As Guan Ren spoke, he turned around, and as he expected, Guan Qiaoyun's voice came from behind him again:

"Wait! When did I say I wouldn't agree?"

"what?"

Guan Ren turned around, feigning confusion:
"You agreed?"

"nonsense."

Guan Qiaoyun rolled her eyes at Guan Ren:
"You should cultivate good relationships with people who can help you. Isn't that what I taught you when you were a child? Since she's your teacher's sister, you have to handle this matter properly, no matter how troublesome it is."

"Ugh."

Guan Ren sighed with a worried expression:

"Okay, I'll go talk to her right now."
