No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 135 Guan Ren was startled

Chapter 135 Guan Ren was startled
[I declined your game invitation on the river islet]

"Tsk, what's going on..."

Sitting in front of the computer, Guan Ren looked at the League of Legends interface and felt that something was off today.

To be precise, he sensed that something was wrong with Luo Xiaobei.

The signal was bad when I called her yesterday, so Guan Ren hung up after a short while.

When Guan Ren woke up today, he first wrote some code for "The Supreme Confucianism and Taoism," then chatted with Gu Youli, browsed the forums, replied to two private messages from that strange ID "[Not Eating Cilantro, That's Strange]," and finally opened the game to win the first time with Zhang Chi...

After doing so much, Guan Ren still felt that something was wrong with him.

After thinking it over and over, I suddenly realized the reason:
It's the weekend, but his childhood sweetheart hasn't bothered him at all.

Since the phone call last night, Luo Xiaobei's QQ hasn't popped up even once.

This is what made Guan Ren feel inexplicably uneasy.

Ok…

I usually think she's clingy.

Why do I feel uncomfortable when it suddenly stops sticking?

"Am I being a little shameless...?"

Guan Ren reflected on it.

I think it's actually quite possible.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that after that, Guan Ren wanted to invite Luo Xiaobei to play games together, but even though she was online, she refused his invitations several times.

So Guan Ren sent a question mark in the game.

But no response.

Guan Ren then went on QQ again.

【Guan Guan Jujiu: North?】

[Guan Guan Jujiu: Are you there?]

Still no response.

Okay, she's probably busy.

But this reason still sounds a bit far-fetched.

After all, Guan Ren knew Luo Xiaobei; even if she was really busy, she would definitely take a moment to scold him a couple of times, calling him a "pighead" or something...

[Guan Guan Jujiu: North, are you there?]

Guan Ren sent it again.

Then I felt a little uncomfortable.

As for why I'm not used to it...

Guan Ren casually flipped through the previous chat history and found that [Zaihezhizhou] often sent "Are you there?".

This is almost the first time I've asked her "Are you there?".

Given this, after a while, Guan Ren began to have some concerns.

"This guy... could he be sick again?"

Once I started worrying about Qingmei, I couldn't even get into the most exciting part of "Sun Wukong: The Monkey King's Tale of Clouds and Seas," the part about the gibbon with its back turned.

So I promptly made a phone call.

beep--

"?"

Putting everything else aside, just hearing the dial tone made Guan Ren's heart skip a beat.

It rang twice...

beep--

"Hey?"

three times?

It took three tries to get through?

"Xiao Bei!"

Faced with this rare situation, Guan Ren couldn't wait to speak:
"Are you okay?!"

"..."

Luo Xiaobei on the other end of the phone was speechless:

"You scold me?"

"no no…"

Guan Ren was just a little impatient:

"I was just asking, are you alright?"

"I... am fine."

"..."

The first law of the universe: When a girl says she's "pretty" good, it's often not so good.

Of course, this law is only for reference.

The most crucial factor was Guan Ren's understanding of Luo Xiaobei.

"I saw you were online, why didn't you join the game?"

"Oh, I didn't see it."

"Tsk...then why don't you reply to my QQ messages?"

"Hmm... I didn't see it either."

"..."

As expected, Luo Xiaobei still had something to do.

Guan Ren could tell that Luo Xiaobei's tone was flat and indifferent, completely lacking her usual cleverness.

Moreover... it's less about the laziness of just waking up.

It's more like the exhaustion that comes after a rollercoaster of emotions.

"north…"

Guan Ren felt anxious and pressed for an answer:

"Are you worried about anything?"

"..."

Luo Xiaobei pondered for a moment:

"No."

"No, you do."

"Oh." Luo Xiaobei responded with an "oh."
"Then I'll have it."

"If you have it, just say it."

"Why bother saying it? Nobody's going to listen anyway..."

"I'm listening!"

As Guan Ren spoke, he made a rustling sound as he rummaged through the microphone.

Luo Xiaobei couldn't help but ask:

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for paper and pen? Tell me what's on your mind, I'll remember it."

"..."

Luo Xiaobei pursed her lips and remained silent.

snort…

This guy is always like that; he subtly or unintentionally makes people feel...

"Don't bother looking for me, I'm not upset, I was just teasing you."

"Xiao Bei."

Guan Ren frowned slightly. When she was really teasing him, she wouldn't use this tone:
"Wait a moment, I'm coming right now."

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I…"

"I've already said everything's fine. Okay, that's enough. I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to sleep now."

Seeing Luo Xiaobei say this, Guan Ren seemed to know that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her anytime soon.

Given her current situation, even if he went to her house now, it might backfire.

And there's something very important: just now, Guan Ren did some quick calculations and figured that Luo Xiaobei's period should start in the next couple of days.

Therefore, the reason why she suddenly became less lively is very likely due to this.

So Guan Ren decided it was best to wait until Monday to ask her in person what exactly it was.

"north."

While Guan Ren was filled with worry, he couldn't help but express his concern aloud:
"If you need anything, remember to call me."

Luo Xiaobei said calmly:

"Ah."

"Don't just say 'yes,' take good care of yourself, you hear me?"

"Um…"

"Then you should get some rest... Make sure you're covered up properly and don't kick it off."

"Oh…"

"besides…"

……

I was about to hang up, but Guan Ren kept saying "there's more" over and over again.

To be honest, even Guan Ren himself didn't know that he could be so long-winded, like a mother hen.

Meanwhile, after hanging up the phone, Luo Xiaobei lay on her side on the bed, hugging her pillow, staring at the string of QQ messages someone had sent her earlier on her phone. Her face, which hadn't shown much of a smile all day, finally broke into a slight, reproachful smile.

Pig's head...

Now you know how to be gentle...

hum~
"call…"

After taking a deep breath and regaining some strength, Luo Xiaobei turned over, got up, and went to the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

----------

that's it.

A rare weekend, during which I didn't have much interaction with my childhood friend, has passed.

When Luo Xiaobei woke up the next day, she patted her face in front of the mirror, trying to stop herself from thinking too much about Gu Youli and Guan Ren.

Teacher Gu was away on a business trip, and Gu Youli just went to his house for dinner. Thinking about it carefully, it's really nothing... um... nothing...

After all, everything still has to go on.

After repeatedly reminding herself of this, Luo Xiaobei managed to return to her normal state, putting aside her pathetic crying from yesterday, and went out with her little schoolbag on her back.

As for what happened after arriving at school, when faced with Guan Ren's persistent questioning, Luo Xiaobei, as always, just laughed it off.

However, Guan Ren, still suspicious, pulled Luo Xiaobei into the grove after the morning exercises.

"Guan Ren, what are you doing? Robbing me or assaulting me?"

"Luo Xiaobei, what happened to you yesterday?"

"Oh, you're still asking!"

Luo Xiaobei glared at him, pouting as she tugged at his clothes.

"Didn't you already guess? She's on her period, can't she just feel down all day for no reason..."

"..."

Guan Ren pondered for a moment and nodded:
"Are you completely better today?"

"Okay~"

Luo Xiaobei's eyes darted around, then she shook her head:
"No, the battery ran out yesterday, so I need to charge it today."

After Luo Xiaobei finished speaking, she stood there seriously, staring intently into her childhood friend's eyes.
