No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 186 Winter Break

Chapter 186 Winter Break (Writing on a tablet is slow, so it's late)

The final grades were released soon.

Guan Ren could even imagine the teachers' "satisfying vengeance" as they graded the papers, writing furiously.

After all, they also need to enjoy their summer and winter vacations.

"No wonder so many people want to become teachers..."

Such long holidays, plus a salary, and some even have the opportunity to run tutoring classes to earn extra money—it's an enviable profession.

"Second Master, how much?"

"550."

"屮!"

"And you, Brother Chi?"

"Sigh, don't ask anymore..."

As expected, Guan Ren scored exactly 550 points on the final exam, not a point more or less.

But even after receiving the exam paper, while listening to music with Gu Youli, he still gazed melancholically out the window.

"I wonder how many points An Ning got on the exam; she didn't even send a text message..."

……

Ever since I gave An Ning the "English Essentials" book, An Ning would discuss her exam results with him after each exam, but this time she didn't.

This made Guan Ren worry that she might have failed the exam.

Of course, this is not an indication of Guan Ren's favoritism.

Because in comparison.

There's nothing to worry about regarding Luo.

Mr. Gu has nothing to worry about.

So Guan Ren could only worry about Xiao Ningmeng.

Drop drop-

"?"

Fortunately, just as Guan Ren was worrying, his QQ phone rang.

[Ping An: Guan Ren, how did your exam go?]

[Guan Guan Jujiu: 550, landed smoothly, how about you?]

Guan Ren tapped his fingers repeatedly, making a loud clattering sound on the flexible screen of the Galaxy S2, which made Gu Youli look at him with a puzzled expression.

Who is he talking to? Is it really necessary? His fingers are vibrating like a motor.

Gu Youli had no idea that her deskmate was using her fast fingers on a girl next door whom she didn't know.

[Ping An: Just like Guan Ren said, I got 562, with 110 in English.]

[Peaceful: Rose.jpg]

Guan Ren looked at the roses on the screen and chuckled to himself.

The way Little Lemon Goddess uses chat emoticons is truly simple and genuine.

This isn't the first time. Guan Ren also asked her about it. An Ning has always used roses as flowers, but she's never used them before because she doesn't add many people on QQ, let alone chat with them.

It wasn't until she chatted with Guan Ren and saw so many fun and cute emoticons that An Ning decided to seize the opportunity to try them out.

----------

Now that the final exams are over, the fate of many people has been sealed.

Unfortunately, some families have just bought computers, so they probably won't be able to play them much during the winter break, and they'll also have to attend tutoring classes.

But Guan Ren didn't pity these goods at all.

If you don't study regularly and don't review for exams, you'll only sigh and lament when you fail an exam. But you don't know that you're wrong; you just know that you're going to fail.

"Alas."

Thinking of this, Guan Ren instinctively looked around, afraid that someone would chime in with "It comes from the sword."

a few days later.

The classroom, ostensibly for self-study, was actually bustling with noise, much like a vegetable market.

Today is the last day of January, and winter vacation is just around the corner.

"cough!"

Li Min coughed and walked in.

But unlike usual, many people continued chatting and laughing with a sense of righteous indignation, until Li Min slowly spoke, enunciating each word clearly:

"Please, shut your little mouths."

The classroom then quieted down.

Pairs of expectant eyes looked at Li Min.

"You'll have plenty of time to chat when you get back. For now, just distribute this."

As Li Min spoke, she tossed two stacks of papers onto Guan Ren's desk, and Guan Ren distributed them to the students in the first row, passing them down one by one.

"Winter break precautions, homework sheets for each subject, and a holiday safety agreement—two copies each. Have your parents sign them when you get home, and bring one copy to hand in this afternoon. Then you can leave..."

Li Min was rambling on on the podium when she suddenly fell silent.

Everyone in the classroom looked up and saw Li Min's sharp eyes fixed on Guan Ren.

……

To be fair, this wasn't something Li Min was targeting.

Guan Ren brought this upon himself. When he sent the information to Luo Xiaobei, he deliberately acted strangely and only sent it to Du Zihan, not Luo Xiaobei.

He was grinning slyly as he held out the documents to Luo Xiaobei.

Every time she tried to take it, he would pull it back.

It was as if he was teasing a little female dog with meat... uh... a bone stick, making Luo Xiaobei's cheeks puff up with anger.

……

However, Guan Ren also suffered retribution for this.

Not only did Li Min and the other classmates watching make her feel embarrassed, but she also felt a chill running down her spine.

As for who the cold light came from, it was too difficult to guess, so Guan Ren decided not to speculate.

In short, he lowered his head and obediently sent the items to Luo Xiaobei.

"Deserves it..."

When she took the item, Luo Xiaobei's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and she wrinkled her little nose at him.

Hmph, let him bully his childhood sweetheart~?

Guan Ren glared at her.

Luo Xiaobei glared back.

Good grief, he even yelled at her?

Luo Xiaobei is only in her second year of high school, and Guan Ren already dares to be mean to her. She doesn't even dare to think about what he might do to her in the future.

----------

In the afternoon, the students handed in their safety agreement forms, had one last formal self-study session, and then the winter vacation officially began.

In reality, many people simply pay and leave.

Some people simply don't come at all. Anyway, these aren't big problems.

But not all students are so relaxed and carefree.

The situation is much worse for students in the third year of junior high and the third year of senior high; they have to finish all the afternoon classes before they can leave.

The other students walked home happily, already discussing their winter break plans.

……

"Damn it, I'm definitely going to climb the ranks like crazy during winter break!"

"Sigh, I'm going to Ningbo for winter break."

"Traveling?"

"No, I'm going to work at my uncle's factory."

"That's great, I can make money. Unlike me, I can only receive big red envelopes from my rich relatives. I'm so lonely."

……

A few scattered groups of people emerging from Class 7 of Grade 11 were also discussing similar topics.

"Brother Chi, what are you planning to do during winter break?"

"Of course I am..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

"???"

Guan Ren waved his hand, turned directly to Liu Xiong, stared at him for a moment, and then waved his hand again.

"???"

After all, these two only appear in novels and games, so there's not much to guess.

Wang Chao's answer, however, surprised him.

"Me? I'll just stay home and binge-watch anime."

Someone nearby immediately asked:
What is "watching anime series"?

Guan Ren continued:

"It's just watching cartoons."

"Pleasant Goat".

"Japanese animation."

"Ultraman?"

……

Speaking of which, I don't know if it's because of the small county town or because of the post-95 generation, but Guan Ren feels that his generation doesn't have the same emotional attachment to Ultraman as the post-00 generation.

Although I watched it when I was a child, I don't watch it anymore now that I'm older. I just feel like it's something for kids.

Perhaps because of the lack of internet access and the absence of a community, the "feeling" for Ultraman naturally ends at a certain age and cannot be continued with the help of the internet.

Moreover, Guan Ren's generation watched Ultraman from the Showa era, such as Seven, Leo, and Taro, when they were young. They didn't know much about the backstory and felt that Mother of Ultra and Father of Ultra were the strongest.

Many characters, such as Ultraman Tiga, with their rich backstories, appeared too late for most viewers, who were then in junior or senior high school and no longer interested.

……

Therefore, when someone says that the Japanese anime Wang Chao watches is Ultraman, it is actually just a joke in the current context.

Wang Chao immediately panicked and waved his hand dismissively:
"What?! Ultraman? I watch anime."

As he spoke, he began to explain, taking out his iPod Touch and showing people the anime girl character on his phone.

The result was that others mocked them even more:

"Are you a little girl? Look at these."

"You!...Damn it, I can't be bothered talking to you!"

Wang Chao's face turned red, but at this time, the "anime/manga" genre was not even a fashion item, let alone a trend. Wang Chao really didn't know how to defend himself, so he could only keep quiet and amuse himself.

Guan Ren simply patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Based on his observations on Bilibili, the steadily increasing number of views and comments indicated that the era Wang Chao desired was fast approaching.

……

"Prime Minister, what important projects are you undertaking during the winter break?"

Finally, Guan Ren found Xu Hui.

"To be honest, I don't have any great ambitions. For the first few days, I'll just go to the internet cafe with Zhang Chi and the others to play games together."

Internet cafes are indeed the best choice for students during holidays.

Especially in the first few days, before parents started to complain about them or make them do housework or visit relatives, everyone was still excited and many people wished they could live in the internet cafe.

"Ren-ge, will you come and guide us tomorrow too?"

"sure."

Guan Ren agreed, and then not long after, Luo Xiaobei said she wanted to go too.

"No, internet cafes aren't safe."

"With you here!"

"..."

Okay, it's just one more machine.

Moreover, there are many students in internet cafes during winter break, so it's generally not easy for accidents to happen.

However, Luo Xiaobei's words "with you" reminded Guan Ren.

"Young pear... um..."

Guan Ren quickly calculated that An Ning would definitely be busy helping An Shui Rou during the holiday. As a socially awkward person, of the only three girls he knew at school, only Gu Youli was still unaware of her winter break plans.

Out of curiosity and concern for his deskmate, Guan Ren turned around and found Gu Youli not far behind him.

"Sister Gu, how are you going to spend your winter break?"

"..."

Gu Youli remained silent at first, then asked in return:

"What about you?"

"I don't know, but I've been going to the internet cafe with them these past two days."

"Oh…"

Gu Youli nodded, then hesitated for a moment before asking again:

"Then... what about Xiao Bei?"

"Her? Oh, she didn't know either, so she insisted on going to the internet cafe with me."

"..."
