No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 137 Fairy Sister Gu Youli

"Okay, disband!"

As soon as the PE class ended, the PE teacher clapped his hands, and several classes, including Class 7 of Grade 11, scattered like birds.

Boys walked in groups of three or five, and girls walked hand in hand toward the two school gates and the cafeteria.

Some people who are alone will also choose to wander around the playground for a while.

For example, Guan Ren looked around and found a small pear blossom floating not too far away on the playground, seemingly harboring some secret thoughts that outsiders couldn't understand.

Is Guan Ren an outsider?
of course not.

Guan Ren was her former deskmate.

So he immediately understood that Xiaolihua was circling around him, occasionally stealing glances in his direction, clearly waiting for him to walk with her.

……

Walking home together after school, between boys and girls, is actually somewhat similar to the "matchmaking umbrella" phenomenon in Japan.

At least that's the case at Jiangzhou No. 2 Middle School, which has a clean and refreshing school atmosphere.

Although Gu Youli has mentioned many times that she went to eat rice noodles with Guan Ren.

This was the first time she had ever walked home from school so formally with a boy.

Therefore, it's inevitable that they will be a little reserved and restrained.

Guan Ren expressed his understanding.

……

However, no matter how understanding he was, it didn't stop Guan Ren from being playful, so he simply kept a distance from Gu Youli.

Then, pretending to have forgotten something, he kept his distance and strode quickly toward the front door.

"Eh…?"

Gu Youli, who was secretly watching someone's movements, was suddenly stunned. She opened her pink lips slightly, then pursed them.

In that brief moment, her pretty little face not only showed seven parts resentment, but also a hint of grievance.

If any gossipy bystander were to notice this expression on Gu Youli's face, there would likely be plenty of behind-the-scenes gossip.

However, at this moment, as Xiaolihua watched someone's departing figure, she forgot all about managing her expression and subconsciously quickened her pace, following closely behind Guan Ren.

And then, as we walked...

Guan Ren, who was in front, suddenly stopped.

"!"

Before Gu Youli could react, her mischievous deskmate suddenly turned around, a wicked smile on his lips:

"Sister Gu, are you following me?"

"???"

track?

They had clearly agreed to walk home together after school... but then he... and she...

……

Girls who are frequently invited home by their bad classmates know that their minds often aren't very sharp in those situations.

In short, even the usually quick-witted Gu Youli missed Guan Ren's teasing tone. Her expression shifted from seven parts resentment and three parts grievance to seven parts grievance and three parts resentment. She clenched her hands, took a few steps closer, and stared intently at him:
"Have you forgotten...?"

Guan Ren feigned doubt:

"Forget what?"

"..."

Gu Youli tilted her pretty face slightly, her cherry lips trembling as she murmured:

"Take me home..."

"Uh…"

Guan Ren scratched his head upon hearing this.

This is what I said...

Why does it sound weird?

Although he was indeed going to take Gu Youli home at noon today...

It was just a dinner appointment at his house, why did she act like it was a marriage proposal...?

"Oh—this! Oh, I haven't forgotten!"

However, seeing that the usually earnest Xiaolihua was now somewhat depressed, unable to speak or walk properly, Guan Ren couldn't help but chuckle and stopped teasing her.

How could I forget?

"You just forgot."

Gu Youli still wouldn't look at him, staring at the ground to the side, her hands hanging behind her hips, her tone accusing in a faint tone:
You said we'd walk home together after school...

"Let's go."

Guan Ren pasted it:
"So we're going together now?"

"..."

Gu Youli glared at him, annoyed. This guy was really good at making excuses. He had clearly run away very fast, leaving her to spin around in circles.

Of course, Guan Ren also had his own excuses for this:
"When the group disbanded, I saw you practicing the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), so I didn't have the heart to disturb you."

"..."

Even if Gu Youli wasn't familiar with martial arts novels, she knew about the famous Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), and she also knew that Guan Ren had teased her for wandering around him like a fool. Her ears immediately turned red, and she retorted:
Do you see me as Duan Yu?

“You’re a girl, so of course you’re not Duan Yu. I am.”

Haha, shameless. Everyone says Duan Yu is handsome and dashing, does he really think he is too... he is too...

"..."

Gu Youli was halfway through her internal monologue when she glanced at Guan Ren and then felt a little guilty, so she couldn't continue.

After all, while my bad deskmate was indeed a bit bad, he was certainly presentable in terms of appearance...

"I am Duan Yu, Sister Gu, then you must be the fairy Wang Yuyan."

"Wang Yuyan..."

Gu Youli recalled her only impression of the 03 TV series and shook her head repeatedly:

"I'm not."

"Um…"

Guan Ren pondered for a moment, then sized up Gu Youli:

"That's right, you are prettier than Yifei."

"..."

He's talking nonsense again. Gu Youli shouldn't listen to his glib flattery.

But Guan Ren wasn't just making things up.

At the same age, Gu Youli is definitely no less beautiful than Yifei, who played Wang Yuyan back then. In fact, according to Guan Ren's aesthetic standards, Gu Youli is even better.

Moreover, Guan Ren has a forward-looking perspective when it comes to people and things.

So he knew that if the pear blossoms bloomed for another two or three years, they would be even more amazing.

In contrast, Yifei…

All I can say is that the fairy sister in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" was indeed pure and beautiful, exuding a kind of ethereal charm.

But as time went on, well…

Guan Ren didn't know if it was his temperament or his makeup.

The "Fairy Sister" from then on was no longer ethereal at all. To use a word that Guan Ren could come up with himself, she had a strong "Asian flavor."

Although she continued to have admirers, including many men.

But Guan Ren simply couldn't appreciate it anymore.

Seeing her is like looking at some Western websites; it's quite poignant.

"Alright, Sister Gu, let's hurry home. I still need to cook."

"Um…"

For Gu Youli, this was indeed the "most important thing," so she couldn't care less about him anymore.

The two of them walked side by side toward the school's front gate.

No one noticed that at the corner of the playground after PE class, a complicated gaze was watching the two figures from behind.

Only after he could no longer see it did he take a deep breath, turn around and walk towards the back gate of the school.

Even if she goes home through the front door.

However, special cases should be treated specially.

For the next month, she absolutely refused to travel with that idiot during times like this, hmph…

---------

"Sister Gu?"

"Uh?"

"Hurry up, why are you so stiff?"

Guan Ren found it somewhat amusing, but Gu Youli couldn't laugh. She just gave a perfunctory answer, but in reality, the closer she got to Guan Ren's house, the heavier her steps became.

It wasn't the kind of heavy feeling that's unpleasant.

It was pure tension.

Only heaven knows how much Little Pear Blossom's heart pounded during that short journey.

"Guan Ren is out of school?"

"Grandpa, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet... hiss..."

When they reached the gatekeeper's booth, Grandpa Lin squinted, immediately pulled Guan Ren aside, and whispered:

"Why did you change it?"

Guan Ren was stunned:
"What changed?"

"Of course! The girl next to you, wasn't it this one last time?"

"Tsk! I already told you that the one last time was my childhood friend, this one is... is..."

This old man is getting more and more gossipy. Guan Ren was too lazy to say anything more and just waved his hand:

"Grandpa, if you have nothing to do, why don't you tear up some newspaper and have some fun?"

"You brat! Are you cursing me to have dementia?"

"No no…"

The old man glared angrily, as if he was about to hit someone, but Guan Ren shrank back, chuckled, and quickly ran away.

Of course, Gu Youli couldn't be forgotten while running.

So, without knowing why, Little Pear Blossom was suddenly led by his soft little hand and carried upstairs to her bad classmate's doorstep.
