No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 140 "Sisters" (Happy Children's Day! May everyone always retain a childlike heart!)

In Guan Ren's home, generally speaking, Guan Ren and Guan Qiaoyun take turns cooking and washing dishes.

But today, Guan Ren took the initiative to do both jobs at the same time.

It wasn't that I was being stubborn.

Mainly because Gu Youli happened to be there, so…

"So...what?"

"cough…"

Oops, I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind.

In the kitchen, facing Xiaolihua's clear yet questioning eyes, Guan Ren awkwardly cleared his throat:
"What I mean is, since you're here to help me wash the dishes, we can finish what we were doing first."

"gastroscopy…?"

A look of surprised worry flashed across Gu Youli's small face:

"Guan Ren, do you have a stomach problem?"

"It's not a gastroscopy, it's an unfinished project, something we didn't finish back then, and we'll continue it now."

As Guan Ren explained, he also closed the kitchen door.

Click…

"?"

The sound of the lock clicked not only on the door, but also in Little Pear Blossom's heart.

Why...why are you closing the door?

Gu Youli, who is weak in Chinese, may not have heard of the word "未竟" (wèi jìng), but she is very familiar with the phrase "孤男寡女" (gū nán guǎ nǚ).

After all, several of the stories in the recent episodes of "Fireworks" were set in a situation where a man and a woman were alone together.

And coincidentally... they're all slightly embarrassing stories...

Now that Guan Ren had closed the door, Gu Youli was immediately reminded of those stories. Her ears were about to turn red, but then she thought that the kitchen didn't seem like a place for a man and woman to be alone together, so her pounding heart calmed down for the time being.

"Guan Ren, you're always keeping me in suspense. Weren't we supposed to wash the dishes together? What else is it?"

"Oh, it's nothing really... it's just that before we ate, we were having our palms read, weren't we?"

"?"

Gu Youli hid her small hands behind her back, instinctively becoming alert:

"Haven't you already seen them all?"

"Hey, well, I didn't see it clearly back then."

"..."

"So I was thinking, why don't I finish watching it for you first..."

Guan Ren grinned honestly and raised his pig's trotter to grab Gu Youli's tender little hands that he could never get enough of squeezing.

Clang——!
"?!"

As soon as Guan Ren reached out his right hand, Gu Youli, whose eyelids were drooping, picked up the kitchen knife on the table.

"No! Sister Gu, calm down!"

Guan Ren's face immediately froze, thinking to himself, "Could it be that bad?"
If you reach out to her now, you'll get chopped off. What will happen in the future?

"Sister Gu, this...this is so dangerous..."

For the sake of his deskmate's future happiness, Guan Ren absolutely could not let her develop this habit of "grabbing a knife whenever something is offered to her," and earnestly advised her:
"Put the knife down first, then we can talk things over."

"..."

Gu Youli watched Guan Ren put on his dramatic performance and a slight smile crept into her heart, but her face remained expressionless. After gently scolding him, she silently put the knife into the sink and turned on the tap.

"I knew you'd be a rascal. Now wash the dishes properly, and then..."

"Ok?"

Guan Ren's ears twitched:
"What else?"

"nothing!"

……

A young girl's attitude towards the idea of ​​a "lonely man and woman" is often quite peculiar.

They pay a lot of attention to the atmosphere.

The same thing might be done when the atmosphere is right.

If the atmosphere isn't right, I feel a bit reluctant to do it, or ashamed to do it.

For example, reading palms.

Previously, the two were on the sofa in the living room. Although it wasn't as enclosed as the kitchen, it was still a relatively private space for the two of them. The atmosphere between them was good, so Guan Ren naturally took the opportunity to read Xiao Lihua's palm.

However, because the atmosphere in the kitchen wasn't quite right, Gu Youli wouldn't let him watch.

But it's okay.

As the saying goes, men and women can work together without getting tired.

Washing dishes together might actually be a wonderful thing.

“Ah…~”

"Huh? What's wrong, Sister Gu?"

Guan Ren pretended to be harmless, which made Xiao Lihua both annoyed and amused. She pursed her lips and glared at him.
"You...you still ask? Why did you pinch my hand again..." "Oh, sorry, I couldn't help it, there was too much dish soap foam, I couldn't see clearly, and your hands are always slippery, I always accidentally slip over them, sigh..."

Gu Youli nodded and glanced at him upon hearing this.

Okay, there was definitely a lot of foam in the sink, so I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Hey, why are you still adding dish soap?"

"I'm afraid it won't get clean enough."

"..."

"Oops, I accidentally pinched your hand again, Sister Gu. Did it hurt? If it does, let me rub it for you."

"hehe!"

This person has the most excuses when he's being naughty. Gu Youli's ears turned red as she let out the same cold laugh as her sister.

I must say, their smiles are quite convincing.

This made Guan Ren momentarily miss her sister.

Ok…

Teacher Gu won't be back for another month...

"Guan Ren?"

"what?"

What are you thinking about when you suddenly space out?

"Uh, I was thinking... um... Sister Gu, why are your hands so beautiful?"

squeak-

"Guan Ren! Why did you close the kitchen door?!"

"No...nothing, Sister Qiaoyun, we're not washing dishes here."

"Why are you closing the door while washing dishes? Why can't you let your hair out?"

"The bowl doesn't need to be ventilated..."

"Still talking back!"

Finally, it was Guan Qiaoyun's sudden appearance, her sharp phoenix eyes sweeping over him, that finally calmed the ever-slick and mischievous Guan Ren down a little.

--------

After washing the dishes, Guan Qiaoyun, Gu Youli, and Guan Ren sat together in the living room, watching TV and chatting.

During this time, he also suggested that Gu Youli take a nap in Guan Qiaoyun's bedroom, but Gu Youli politely declined.

"No need, Auntie, I'm not sleepy."

While waving her hand, she couldn't help but keep glancing towards Guan Ren's room.

Speaking of which…

From childhood to adulthood, she had never known what a boy's bedroom looked like...

If Guan Qiaoyun weren't here, would Guan Ren have taken her into his room to see her?

Hmm, my bad deskmate is so bad, he definitely will.

Gu Youli thought about it logically and with evidence.

In fact, she was right.

Since there wasn't anything on TV that Guan Ren wanted to watch, and he had already finished talking about everything he wanted to talk about with Gu Youli in the classroom.

If there's anything else you'd like to talk about privately, it's best to do it alone.

For this reason, Guan Ren actually tried to take Gu Youli to the bedroom several times along the way.

On the one hand, for some reason, Guan Qiaoyun seemed particularly interested in chatting with Gu Youli, and no matter how Guan Ren tried to banter with her, he couldn't get her to leave.

On the other hand, without a sufficient reason like "studying together," it was indeed inconvenient for Guan Ren to simply take Gu Youli to the bedroom with a single sentence.

So they dawdled like this until it was time for school in the afternoon, and Guan Ren obediently went to school with Gu Youli.

--------

"Humph…"

After Guan Ren left, Guan Qiaoyun, who was standing in front of the dressing table, began to remove her makeup while muttering to herself:
"That little rascal is going astray every day; he's starting to try and bring female classmates into his room..."

Although Guan Qiaoyun herself had no experience with "bringing classmates of the opposite sex into the bedroom," she had heard similar stories from television, tabloids, and other parents, so it was hard to say what kind of shady things might happen between the two of them.

In addition, the little rascal not only calls her "Sister Qiaoyun" all the time, but for some reason he also calls Gu Youli "Sister Gu" all the time.

This... this way, wouldn't it make me feel like I'm on the same level as that young girl?

As a mother, how could she possibly become friends with her son's female classmate?
"That little rascal, if he were a kid, I would have spanked him long ago, sigh..."

Guan Qiaoyun helplessly and speechlessly took off a necklace, placed it on the table, and then sat there for a long time, lost in thought.

……

After today's meal, Guan Qiaoyun felt that the more harmonious the pretty young girl got along with her son, the more inexplicably lost she felt...

After staring blankly at this question for a long time, Guan Qiaoyun finally shook her head and stopped worrying about it.

Perhaps all mothers will feel this way when their sons grow up.

After all, no woman would be willing to let her precious child, whom she raised herself, suddenly run off to another woman, right?
At least Guan Qiaoyun couldn't help but feel a bittersweet feeling whenever she thought about this inevitable path in the future.
