No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 168 Gu Wancheng is coming back

Thursday, during the long break between classes.

"Second Master, let's go through the back door and buy Wu Dalang's sesame seed cakes."

At Liu Xiong's shout, Xu Hui arrived uninvited, and the two of them looked at Guan Ren together.

"Don't go."

Guan Ren, standing beside the podium, waved his hand and stretched.
"I hang out with Brother Chi."

"Damn, are you two gay?"

Guan Ren remained silent and walked silently toward the fourth group.

His goal was certainly not to have a homosexual relationship with Zhang Chi.

Instead, she started a lesbian relationship with her former deskmate.

However, when speaking to outsiders, especially to those who usually sit far away, Guan Ren always says, "I hang out with Brother Chi," to create the illusion that he goes to the fourth group every time he goes during a long break to see his good buddy.

Actually, it's about finding a good deskmate.

This is also to avoid gossip and rumors; it's better than nothing.

This explains why he always tried to be very discreet when touching his deskmate's hand.

"Sister Gu~"

"..."

Now, every time Guan Ren goes by, Gu Youli acts like an automatic door, without even looking at him, she subconsciously leans forward slightly, the chair legs lift up, leaving a narrow passage between her back and the back seat for Guan Ren.

Guan Ren went in and out through Gu Youli's narrow passage.

However, Gu Youli had one question: why did she sometimes feel a sharp, jagged sensation in her back when he was going in and out?

It wasn't the kind of hard, uncomfortable thing.

It's hard to describe...

It must be because his stomach was pressing against his back.

But once before, Gu Youli casually said, "Tuck your belly in," and when this bad guy lifted his clothes, he revealed several solid abs.

Little Pear Blossom blushed instantly upon seeing this, and only managed to suppress her emotions by clenching her little fists. Then she glared at him several times.

Admittedly, I estimate that he glared at his abs five or six times...

But... but that was all to confirm whether his stomach had actually tucked in or not! It wasn't because he looked good or anything like that!

Anyway, after that, Gu Youli didn't pay much attention to it when she was occasionally bumped.

This feeling doesn't occur as often, especially after we start wearing thick clothes in winter.

----------

"Sister Gu, aren't you hot?"

"hot?"

As soon as her bad deskmate sat down, he started picking a fight. Gu Youli put down her math book and shook her head indifferently.
"will not."

"彳庍口巴."

"What's wrong…"

"Nothing's wrong, hey, it's fine~"

Guan Ren mainly noticed that Gu Youli was wearing a snow-white down jacket underneath, yet she still insisted on wearing her school uniform over it.

This made her look like she was wrapped up like a penguin.

Surprisingly, Guan Ren quite likes these penguin pears.

It's so cute and fun! I really want her to get up and walk a few steps. It would be even cuter if she could wobble around a bit.

Of course, it all depends on the people involved.

On a winter's day, Gu Youli, sitting upright in her seat studying by the window, seemed to have become even more serene.

The hazy morning light streamed in, giving her fair skin a soft, snow-like glow. Her long, soft eyelashes drooped gently with her eyelids, and her clear, gentle pupils were filled with her unique focus. Occasionally, she would blink, revealing a purity and tenderness like that of a pear blossom.

It's said that focused men are the most attractive.

Aren't focused girls the same?

Guan Ren had always enjoyed quietly watching Gu Youli study diligently, and now that winter was here, he found himself liking her even more.

Her delicate face nestled in a fluffy, thick down jacket, head bowed as she read, exuded a charming intellect amidst her cuteness. This gave the girl a captivating quality that set her apart from other girls.

"Sister Gu..."

"?"

Guan Ren beckoned mysteriously, finally unable to resist disturbing her reading, and gestured for Gu Youli to lean closer, speaking very solemnly:
"I want to tell you something in secret..."

Little Pear Blossom believed him, thinking he had done something very important. After looking around, she brushed aside her lightly covered hair and brought her beautiful, snow-white left ear closer.

Guan Ren also leaned in, then spoke in a strained voice:

"Sister Gu...you're so beautiful..."

"..." He's up to his old tricks again, Gu Youli scolded him irritably.

At the same time, I also felt a bit powerless.

Gu Youli had a feeling that she had fallen for his tricks more than once before.

But for some reason, no matter how many times he used these pointless tricks and said these pointless things, she always seemed to have no memory and kept falling for them.

So this time, Gu Youli decided not to listen to him.

"can not hear."

I said you're really beautiful.

"Sorry, I can't hear you."

Gu Youli continued to bury herself in her book, seemingly not intending to pay him any more attention.

"Okay, then I won't say anything more."

Seeing this, Guan Ren nodded thoughtfully, then grinned:
"Anyway, it's just a private conversation. I'll call you tonight and we'll talk properly when it's just the two of us."

"Whatever"

Gu Youli muttered to herself with her head down, refusing to pay attention to him and continuing to read her book, but after a while she couldn't help but frown.

Oh no, what line was I on again...?

Tsk, my sister is right, puppy love really does affect studies.

It just doesn't affect myself, but affects others.

For example, Guan Ren's early romantic relationship is affecting his studies.

He continues to have an influence:
"Sister Gu, the grassland beef I ordered online will arrive next Monday. Are you coming over for dinner next Monday?"

Let's consider this a serious matter for now. After a slight pause, Gu Youli whispered:
"No need, Sister... Teacher Gu will be back next Monday."

"Oh?"

Guan Ren's eyes lit up. Gu Wancheng was coming back?
No wonder Gu Youli came over for two more meals this week after last weekend; that's quite frequent...

Guan Ren suspected that she wanted to come and eat more meals before Gu Wancheng returned, preferably every day, but was too embarrassed to do so.

In situations like this, it's Guan Ren's turn to make the decision:

"Sister Gu, please come every day from today until next Monday."

"No."

Gu Youli refused.

During this time, she gradually realized at Guan Ren's house that cooking is actually quite hard work; having more people means having more dishes, which is not as simple as just saying it.

So if possible, no matter how much she loved Guan Ren's cooking, she still didn't want to cause him any more trouble.

And there's another reason.

"My sister will be back soon, so I won't be eating at your house for the next few days. I need to adjust in advance."

"That's it..."

Guan Ren felt relieved upon hearing this.

This does seem to be a problem.

After all, he had a vague idea of ​​Gu Wancheng's cooking skills. If Xiaolihua didn't get used to it, she might not be able to eat Gu Wancheng's cooking in the future...

"Alright then, whatever you say. But you're still welcome to come over for a meal anytime you have free time. You're very welcome."

Putting the future aside, Gu Youli does have one regret right now.

That is, in the end, she never had the chance to visit Guan Ren's bedroom.

If there's another chance in the future, I really should go.

After all, that person even slept with him...

……

"Speaking of which, Sister Gu, you've been burying yourself in books lately. Have you already started studying for your final exams?"

"Ah."

Well, as expected of her, she started reviewing three weeks in advance.

Guan Ren decided to accompany her as well.

But he doesn't accompany Guan Ren during his studies; Guan Ren has his own pace when it comes to learning.

Instead, during the long breaks between classes after that, Guan Ren stopped asking her to play chess or read magazines, and he didn't even ask her questions anymore. He just stayed with her and listened to music.

After all, listening to music is Gu Youli's only hobby right now.

So Guan Ren downloaded a lot of soft, instrumental music that wouldn't interfere with his reading.

During the subsequent long breaks between classes, I would quietly accompany Gu Youli to listen to music, and after a while, I found it to be quite pleasant.
