No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 216 The Young Pear Can't Be Handled (Double Update Returns!)

If April in Jiangzhou County is considered early summer.

Then, starting in May, it truly becomes summer.

"It's so hot!"

During the Labor Day holiday, I was initially ambitious and thought I would take Luo Xiaobei out to let loose and enjoy her youth.

That is, going shopping or watching a movie.

But in reality, just waking up at eight or nine in the morning and seeing the blinding white light reflected on the aluminum alloy window frame, and hearing the noisy cicadas outside, Guan Ren already didn't want to move.

"Guan Ren, I...wait, what are you doing lying on the floor?"

Guan Ren, like a dead dog, raised his droopy eyelids:

"Mom, I'm dying of heat, leave me alone."

"Bah bah bah!"

Guan Qiaoyun's eyebrows furrowed, and she pulled a small, fleshy foot out of her slipper and kicked his butt:
"Get up! The ground is damp; your joints will hurt when it rains!"

"I'll lie down for a while longer."

"Then I'll kick you again."

Guan Qiaoyun extended three slender, beautiful fingers and began to trace the Shu Road:

"One, two..."

"Sigh, Mom, stop talking, just kick me, I'll bear it."

Guan Ren, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

On the one hand, it's genuine laziness.

On the other hand, I'm also quite curious.

Because the light-colored, ultra-thin stockings that Guan Qiaoyun was wearing today were a style that Guan Ren had never seen before, with transparent toes.

These should be new arrivals from the lingerie department of New Century Department Store this summer.

Guan Ren wasn't a picky eater.

Personally, I think both reinforced toes and transparent toes have their own advantages.

Just like thin silk in summer and thick silk in winter, each has its own merits.

The main reason is that Guan Qiaoyun used to wear reinforced nail polish, but today she wore a transparent one, which made the bright red nail polish mixed with glitter on her toes more obvious, like cherry tomatoes covered with a layer of water mist, which was very bright and beautiful.

Combined with the faint fluorescence of the stockings under the sunlight, Guan Ren suddenly felt that Guan Qiaoyun had an extra touch of Shui Mei's femininity today compared to usual.

Well, overall, summer is still wonderful~
"You really aren't getting up, are you?"

Guan Qiaoyun put her hands on her hips, looking annoyed.

She kicked him several times, each kick harder than the last.

But not only did this donkey not move, it seemed to be enjoying itself quite a bit.
"Hey Guan, do you think I'm giving you a massage? Get up!"

Guan Qiaoyun was tired of kicking, so she turned and walked out.
"Come with me to the yoga studio right away."

"what?"

Guan Ren did a somersault:
"But I don't want to go to the gym these days."

"Even if you're not going, come with me."

"What?"

"Because I'm your mother! You have to listen to me! It's a long holiday, what's wrong with me moving around a bit?"

"..."

In fact, Guan Qiaoyun had her own selfish motives.

She is a mother, and she is a woman.

Sometimes, a woman's heart needs a little vanity.

Since Guan Ren started taking the elevator with her to the gym every time they went from the yoga studio to the gym, Guan Qiaoyun noticed that many of her yoga classmates looked at her with more envy than before.

After all, her son is tall, handsome, polite, and has a sunny personality.

At the same time, he was always so filial, whether he was picking her up or taking her to school or holding her arm.

However, this filial piety was interpreted by some students who refused to believe that they were mother and son as, "Qiaoyun, you are so lucky to have found such a gentle husband!"

Anyway, gradually, Guan Qiaoyun became somewhat smug from the envious glances and flattering words surrounding her.

That's why she insisted that Guan Ren had to pick her up and drop her off.

"But Sister Qiaoyun, you still go to the yoga studio during your vacation?"

"Nonsense, the perfect time to go is during holidays; I have to work during the week."

Guan Ren sighed, then, as if remembering something, leaned over and gently put his arm around Guan Qiaoyun's waist from behind.
"Sister Qiaoyun, how about you... um..."

"?"

Guan Ren hesitated, and Guan Qiaoyun looked puzzled:

"what happened?"

"Why don't you just do what I did and take a good rest during the holiday?"

"That won't work."

As soon as Guan Qiaoyun opened her mouth, Guan Ren said in unison with her:
"I've already paid!"

"..."

"hey-hey."

"Hey, you!"

Guan Qiaoyun glared at him and went to change her clothes.

And her new stockings were indeed new arrivals from the lingerie department. Guan Qiaoyun, as the lingerie department manager, brought them back to try them on, and now she was going to change them off to go to the yoga studio.

Guan Ren watched her retreating figure, lost in thought.

……

Actually, what Guan Ren originally wanted to say was, "Why don't you stop working? I can support the family."

But Guan Ren thought about it again and realized that things weren't like that.

Firstly, over the past ten years, Guan Qiaoyun has worked her way up from handling plates and running small businesses to becoming a department store manager. This work experience is part of her self-worth realization. It is one of the few things she can still have after giving up so much of the life that ordinary women should have. It is also proof that she can feel that she is still young.

Secondly, Guan Qiaoyun has worked hard all these years to raise Guan Ren. If she were suddenly asked to stop, she might feel a sense of loss and grievance as a mother.

Although children will eventually become independent from their mothers, Guan Ren doesn't want that day to come too soon or suddenly. At least the official announcement should wait until he goes to university. He doesn't want to tell her while she's still in her second year of high school that he doesn't need her to earn money to support him. Thirdly, it seems that Guan Ren is still hesitant to make any grand pronouncements.

If it were truly only Guan Qiaoyun to be raised, Guan Ren would be confident.

But as for "supporting a family"...

The same problem persists. After calculation, Guan Ren felt that the money he was currently earning was not enough for the future. He was neglecting one thing for another, which was never part of his plan.

----------

In the end, Guan Ren went to the yoga studio with Guan Qiaoyun and found it was worth it.

Not only Guan Qiaoyun, but Gu Wancheng also persisted in practicing yoga during this Labor Day holiday.

However, Guan Ren felt that Teacher Gu's motivation was not "paying money" but rather a genuine desire to practice diligently.

"Okay, adjust your breathing... lift your hips and waist, puff out your chest..."

Inside, yoga instructor Fang was directing the group of young women. As usual, Guan Ren stood outside the glass room, using the pretext of "looking at Guan Qiaoyun" to observe both Guan Qiaoyun and Gu Wancheng for a while.

Of course, he was glared at coldly by Gu Wancheng halfway through.

But this time, Guan Ren was unmoved by reason and simply continued watching.

Because he came here this morning specifically to keep Guan Qiaoyun company.

After arriving, he was too lazy to move around since the yoga studio had air conditioning. He would go back and forth between the studio and the gym to enjoy the air conditioning, and then play billiards at the front desk of the yoga studio.

"Enter!"

Snapped!
"Wow, you can even flip a bag like this? Guan Ren, you're amazing!"

"Ugh, basic stuff~"

Guan Ren was smugly wiping his cue with chocolate when he suddenly shuddered as he faced the receptionist he was playing golf with.

I initially thought it was because an air conditioner was blowing directly on me.

Looking back, she saw Gu Wancheng, who had appeared out of nowhere, had just turned her gaze away and was buying soda from another receptionist.

"Teacher Gu."

Guan Ren eagerly sidled over:

"Hey, taking a break?"

"..."

Gu Wancheng didn't answer. After taking a sip of water, she glanced at the young woman next to the table tennis table, then turned her pretty face back.

"Did you come here today just to play pool?"

"No, I was mainly spending time with my mom and also taking a break from the summer heat."

As Guan Ren spoke, he secretly glanced at Gu Wancheng.

She still wore her hair in a high ponytail, a style not commonly seen at school, and was dressed in a light blue tank top and lead-gray yoga pants.

She still looks so beautiful, and her stunning figure is still incredibly eye-catching.

Even though the tank top wasn't as exaggerated as the day she was trapped in the elevator, the abyss wasn't revealed as much as it was that day.

But when she stood there, her left hand gripping her right arm, lifting her chest in the process, the curves there remained full and rounded, exuding a captivating and alluring charm.

Speaking of which... the first time I saw her dressed like this at the yoga studio, she seemed quite reserved and even wary.

As a result, it seems that I've just let myself be and haven't paid much attention to it lately.

Perhaps this is the composure of being a teacher.

"Guan Ren!"

"!"

Oh no, I got completely absorbed in it.

That's a different matter altogether.

Gu Wancheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, intentionally or unintentionally exuding the authority of a teacher:
"Is there something dirty on my face?"

"Cough...no."

"Then what are you staring at?"

This question was originally intended as a closing remark.

But Gu Wancheng didn't expect that Guan Renzhen would take over the conversation.

"I think it's...uh...because you're good-looking, Teacher Gu. You're beautiful, and you have a great figure too..."

"..."

Seeing Gu Wancheng's brows furrow even more, Guan Ren regretted what he had said as soon as he finished.

It seems like I said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, when he's not at school, he lacks the necessary distance between teacher and student when facing Gu Wancheng.

However, just as Guan Ren was preparing to be criticized.

Gu Wancheng snorted coldly and then said nothing more.

Just as Guan Ren's gaze unconsciously drifted to her yoga pants, and he looked on with a nostalgic expression, Gu Wancheng slammed a bottle of water hard against his chest.

"Cough cough cough..."

"What are you coughing about?"

Seeing Guan Ren's exaggerated actions, Gu Wancheng was speechless, and pressed the water against his chest again:

"Aren't you going to take it?"

"what?"

Guan Ren then realized that the bottle of water was bought for him by Teacher Gu.

"Thank you, Teacher Gu!"

Gu Wancheng didn't respond and walked away, leaving behind a message before she left:
"Don't slack off on your studies. I'll check your homework first thing after the holiday."

"..."

Guan Ren's lips twitched slightly.

Gu Wancheng, after turning the corner of the reception desk, frowned slightly, pursed her rosy lips, and brought her legs together slightly. Belatedly, she raised her delicate hand to cover the front of her tank top.

This Guan Ren...

What does it mean to be pretty or not? What does it mean to have a good or bad figure?
Is this something a student should say to a teacher?
Ah!
It seems that when we get back, I need to remind my sister to have less contact with him. Youli simply can't handle this kind of student who is intermittently irresponsible!
