No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 133 I support you
"Bei, let's be honest, can you even understand 'The Deer and the Cauldron'?"

"What's the word?"

On the other end of the phone, Luo Xiaobei almost laughed out of anger upon hearing this:
Do you think I'm a pig's head too?

"That was not what I meant."

Guan Ren tidied up the language:

"What I mean is, 'The Deer and the Cauldron' is a standard male-oriented work, can you even stand it?"

Actually, at that time, terms like "male-oriented" and "female-oriented" had not yet become widespread with the influx of Japanese culture.

But that didn't stop the clever Luo Xiaobei from getting the idea and replying:
"Then what do you think I should watch?"

"The Legend of Zhen Huan, huh? It just aired recently, isn't it very popular?"

This drama premiered at the beginning of this month and became an instant hit. Even recently, An Guoguo has been humming lines like "I can't do it, Your Majesty."

However, a long, dejected sigh came from Luo Xiaobei's side:

"Sigh...I just can't understand it."

"What's incomprehensible?"

"I can't understand what's so interesting about that. My mom has been watching it lately too."

Luo Xiaobei complained a little:
"In the end, isn't it all just about scheming against each other? Who drugged whom, who beat the kids—it's all that sordid stuff. It was already overdone in the novels I read in elementary school..."

……

In fact, criticism of "Empresses in the Palace" and similar dramas has been widespread in the past two years.

But who could have imagined that this drama would be revived and revitalized, with the female lead being labeled a "leading lady" and provided for certain groups to fantasize about?
After all, for some groups, a woman killing a man is already a tremendous achievement for an "awakened woman."

Admittedly, at this point, the drama had not yet been embellished with various accolades such as "strong female lead" and "love yourself," nor had it been forcibly given values ​​by a certain group of people.

It's just a palace intrigue drama; period dramas with queues (traditional Manchu hairstyles) are all the

Therefore, a large number of people, especially women, particularly middle-aged women, enjoy watching it for entertainment.

……

"Guan Ren, let me tell you, my mom hogs the TV all day long, so I can't even watch 'Boys and Girls Rush Forward' anymore..."

"Oh? Which TV station?"

Guan Ren was quite interested in this, and vaguely remembered that many channels had similar programs at that time, such as "Brave and Wise Challenge".

However, Luo Xiaobei refused to say anything and announced on the spot:

"Guan Ren, you're not allowed to look at that!"

"???"

Guan Ren was amused:
"why?"

"Because I am your childhood sweetheart!"

If Qingmei doesn't want him to look, he should just not look. Why ask so many questions...

Luo Xiaobei is a sharp-eyed and observant girl. She had already noticed that many of the women in those obstacle course shows were dressed very thinly, and everything was visible after they fell into the water…

His childhood sweetheart is going through puberty, and if he sees too many of those kinds of scenes, it might give him strange dreams at night.

Just like myself...

Of course! There are still differences!

For example, Guan Ren's dream might involve those wet girls rushing through obstacles.

In Keluo Xiaobei's dreams, there is only Guan Ren.

"After all this talk, Guan Ren, are you going to watch the show or not?"

"Look, but I finished reading 'The Deer and the Cauldron' last night. Now I'm reading 'Journey to the West', watching Sun Wukong, the Hong Kong version."

"The Hong Kong version..."

Luo Xiaobei didn't quite remember it, so Guan Ren reminded her, quoting a classic line from the movie, spoken by Zhu Bajie:
"Since ancient times, love has often left only regret, a regret that will last forever."

"oh oh--!"

Luo Xiaobei immediately remembered, but still couldn't help clicking her tongue and muttering a complaint under her breath:
"Tsk...it's changed again..."

"Huh? What?"

"nothing."

As Luo Xiaobei spoke, Guan Ren heard the sound of a drawer opening and closing, as well as the scratching sound of a pen writing on a notebook, coming from the receiver.

Are you writing something?

"yes…"

"Write what?"

"Postpartum care for pig heads..."

"..."

"But it's the same thing, they're all dramas, let's watch them together!"

"How can we watch them together?"

Luo Xiaobei had initially suggested watching together, but Guan Ren simply couldn't understand how they could watch together when they were so far apart. However, considering that she was Luo Xiaobei, Guan Ren immediately made a hesitant guess:
"Xiao Bei, you...you're at my house now?"

"How is this possible? I... wait?"

It doesn't seem like it's impossible...

Guan Ren reminded Luo Xiaobei that she hadn't been to Guan Ren's house in a long time. If Guan Ren was home alone, even though it was late at night, she might still run over.

But the problem is, Guan Qiaoyun is also there.

If she suddenly ran to her childhood friend's house, his mother might think that she, as his childhood sweetheart, was not reserved enough.

Luo Xiaobei felt that this was not a good idea.

So I gave up on the idea of ​​going to Guan Ren's house now.

"Hey? Luo Xiaobei? How exactly do you want to watch it together?"

"Oh, we can watch it together if we have a phone."

"cell phone?"

Guan Ren glanced at QQ; the current mobile version doesn't even have video and voice functions yet, and that won't be available until early 2012.

There are other video and voice software, but due to latency, Guan Ren felt that Luo Xiaobei's "watch together" could not be implemented very well.

Ke Luo Xiao Bei's thinking was:

"Let's each watch our own thing, but let's coordinate our times, and then keep our phones on. That way we can watch and chat at the same time, right?"

It has to be said, Luo Xiaobei really has a way.

"But the phone bill..."

"Oh, it's only for an hour at most, how much will that cost in phone bills? If you think it's too expensive, I'll pay for it."

"never mind."

Guan Ren smiled. With a six-figure sum in his account, would he still be the kind of person who saves on phone bills?

"I'm not worried about my phone bill, I'm worried that you won't have enough."

After all, she had just spent all her savings on a cell phone as a birthday gift, and Guan Ren was reluctant to let her spend any more money.

"Okay, I'll top up your account first."

"Ah...you're so kind?"

Luo Xiaobei was still a little unaccustomed to this guy suddenly starting to spend money on her.

When Luo Xiaobei received the SMS notification that the phone credit had been credited to her account, she could hardly believe her eyes.

"500 yuan in phone credit! Guan Ren, are you crazy?!"

"That's not much. You see, many adults top up their phone credit by hundreds of dollars, don't they?"

"But...but we're not adults yet..."

Luo Xiaobei muttered to herself, looking down at her little bag that was still in its infancy. She was still a young girl and needed time to grow up.

I just don’t know…

How is Guan Ren growing up now...?

Suddenly realizing this question, Luo Xiaobei's face flushed slightly. Then she heard Guan Ren even ask:
Is 500 yuan enough?

"Is it enough? What if I say it's not enough?"

"If it's not enough, I'll top it up for you again."

"whispering sound…"

Luo Xiaobei found it somewhat amusing, rolled her eyes at her childhood friend's nouveau riche behavior, rolled over on the bed, and hummed in disapproval:
"If I don't have enough, then give me... Why? Are you going to support me...?"

"can."

Guan Ren did some quick calculations and concluded that, based on his own resources and future capabilities, he could certainly afford to raise a mere Luo Xiaobei.
"I'll support you."

"..."

"Hey?"

"Hmph, who wants you to support them..."

The girl, in an unprecedentedly good mood, muttered to herself, though her little head had already awkwardly slid all the way from the pillow to the covers:

"Guan Ren, what kind of job do you do? How much money do you earn that you spend like this? You could be better off going out for a nice meal than topping up your phone credit..."

As the saying goes, life's ups and downs are too fast, it's really too exciting.

Right after Luo Xiaobei asked that question, a message poured cold water on her previously warm heart.

"Ugh, what's so great about eating out? It's really better to eat at home... Oh right, I forgot to tell you something. Teacher Gu is away on a business trip recently, so Gu Youli might be coming to my house to eat for a month."

"..."

"Hello? Xiao Bei? Can you hear me?"

There was another silence on the microphone, which made Guan Ren very frustrated.

I feel like the phone signal hasn't been very good all day.
