No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 218 Sports Meet (I had a bad cold and just finished writing this after taking medicine)

The May Day holiday is over.

On the first evening of the holiday, the classroom became a large-scale site for copying homework.

"No, I just don't understand, why can't we have the whole holiday? Why does it have to start on the last day of the holiday, during evening self-study? Is it really that much of a difference?"

Liu Xiong had fallen too far behind on his homework, and he couldn't help but roar as he copied it.

Going to school might not make a difference if you don't miss one night.

But copying homework definitely takes one more night.

"May I borrow one more night from heaven!"

He was filled with grief and indignation.

The noise was making Xu Hui, who was copying the text with him, very upset.
"Stop fucking howling! I'm asking you, can time be reversed? Yes, it can!"

Compared to Liu Xiong's negativity, Xu Hui chose to face the situation calmly and attentively.

Every possible means was employed.

such as:

In physics and math word problems, a few lines of steps are sometimes omitted.

In Chinese composition, punctuation marks are often used to fill in the spaces.

Never use abbreviations in English essays. Always write "I am" instead of "I'm" to make it sound like you have enough words.

……

In contrast, Guan Ren remained calm and composed.

Actually, he was quite lazy during the May Day holiday.

Aside from accompanying Guan Qiaoyun to yoga practice every day, he spends the rest of his time lying around like a corpse, too lazy to even make any extra expressions. He only twitches the corners of his mouth when he's on the phone with Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli or chatting with Xiao Ningmeng.

Fortunately, Guan Ren hadn't forgotten Gu Wancheng's slightly threatening reminder. Knowing that Teacher Gu would check on him after the holiday, he didn't slack off on his homework and finished it all during the day.

"Guan Ren, copy this for me."

"You copied me?"

Guan Ren looked at Luo Xiaobei in surprise.

Isn’t this rebellion against Tiangang?
Because it's usually Guan Ren who copied Luo Xiaobei.

Although Luo Xiaobei's academic performance was just as bad as Guan Ren's in the past, she was not as outrageous as Guan Ren was in terms of homework, and she was able to complete her assignments on time most of the time.

Therefore, Guan Ren was quite surprised when Luo Xiaobei said she wanted to copy his homework:
"You didn't do your homework?"

"Oh dear, I haven't finished just one physics problem... give it to me now!"

Guan Ren gave it to her.

Then, as Luo Xiaobei copied the text, he began humming a strangely familiar tune.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph~ Hmph hmph hmph hmph~"

Guan Ren listened for a while and then suddenly realized what was going on.

Isn't this Platinum Disco?

……

"Platinum Disco" is the opening theme song for the last two episodes of the January anime "Nisemonogatari," which aired recently. It's currently very popular on Bilibili and is used as material for many parody and mad videos.

As for the anime "Nisemonogatari" itself, Guan Ren also has some impressions etched into his DNA.

For example, the famous "brushing teeth play" between the male protagonist and his sister.

Guan Ren was watching it from time to time during the May Day holiday.

He casually mentioned it to Luo Xiaobei as well.

Have you been watching Nisemonogatari lately?

"Yeah, I saw it."

Luo Xiaobei nodded.

Actually, she didn't understand it very well, and was even a little drowsy.

But you can't tell your childhood sweetheart these things.

"It's really good-looking~ and the song is nice too~"

"Um…"

"?"

Guan Ren's reaction seemed rather indifferent. Luo Xiaobei stopped writing and blinked in surprise:
"You...don't like this animation?"

"Uh…"

Guan Ren thought for a moment:
"It's alright, I've never really been a big fan of anime and manga."

When he said this, Guan Ren had a look of world-weariness in his eyes that Luo Xiaobei couldn't understand, which left her quite bewildered.

Well…

But it turns out he didn't really like it...

That's good too, at least I don't have to force myself to watch so many more episodes.

But the song is indeed good, mainly because it's a bit catchy, which is why Luo Xiaobei can't help but hum it all the time lately.

----------

That night.

"Luo Xiaobei, what brand is your air conditioner? Is it good?"

Luo Xiaobei, with her phone clipped to a skewed position, crossed out the line "[He loves watching anime]" on a thick notebook.

After thinking for a moment, she added, "[Suspected of watching anime]." "Our air conditioner... um... I think it's an Ottoman or something, it's alright."

"..."

What the hell is this Ottoman air conditioner...?

You mean Oakes, right?

"Hmm, pretty much. Are you planning to buy an air conditioner?"

"Correct."

After the sweltering heat of May Day, Guan Ren decided to buy an air conditioner.

Previously, they had been using an old-fashioned light green painted electric fan, which made a lot of noise and kept them from sleeping. Guan Ren is rich now and should have replaced it a long time ago.

One bedroom each for myself and Guan Qiaoyun is enough.

We don't need the living room.

Anyway, it's located quite far inside, so it doesn't get much sun.

Moreover, running the air conditioner too much or for too long can easily lead to "air conditioner sickness," and Guan Ren has suffered from this quite a bit.

"Guan Ren, do you want to buy the same one?"

"Fine, I'll just buy Gree."

"Sigh, it's been so hot these past few days, thankfully my mom makes me chilled white fungus soup every day~"

"Wow…"

Guan Ren quickly opened a bottle of soda, gulped it down, and then looked on with envy:

"What should I do? Just hearing about it makes me want to drink it."

Hehe~ What would you like to drink?

"Iced white fungus soup."

Whose white fungus soup do you want to drink?

Guan Ren's eyelids twitched:

"…your."

"Whose is mine~?"

“…Luo Xiaobei’s.”

"Idiot! Put it all together! Speak clearly!"

"...I want to drink Luo Xiaobei's white fungus soup..."

Guan Ren's lips twitched; he didn't know why he had actually said it.

Wait, what is this guy doing?

It's been adjusted here, right?

In fact, childhood sweethearts like them don't need any adjustment. Deep down, they've already adjusted to each other.

"Want a drink? No way!"

"..."

Regardless, Luo Xiaobei seemed to be having a lot of fun teasing him.
"Come to my house if you want a drink."

"No, I'm too lazy to walk. I went there to cool off, but after drinking the drinks, I got hot again on the way back."

"You're not Zhang Chi, why are you so afraid of the heat?"

"Zhang Chi's is the real heat insulation, okay? I'm just full of energy. Why don't you try it?"

As Guan Ren spoke, he flexed his biceps on the other end of the phone.

Little did he know that Luo Xiaobei, blushing, secretly spat at him.

Pah! Who...who wants to experience that...?

"Then you're in for a lot of trouble later."

"why?"

"The sports meet is starting the week after next. I heard that leaders from the Education Bureau are coming, and No. 1 Middle School and No. 3 Middle School will also be coming to hold some friendly matches and parties. It will last at least four or five days!"

"what?"

Guan Ren remembers that the sports meet in junior high school only lasted three days.

I was quite envious when I heard that the sports meet at No. 1 Middle School lasted for seven days.

But now, he just hopes the sports meet will be as short as possible. Wouldn't it be better to just go home early every day, lie down, and drink iced cola?
……

But what's coming will come.

Jingle Bell--

"Liu Xiong! Come back! What's all the panic about? Sit down, I need to talk to you..."

Two days later, just after the Chinese class before the long break, Gu Wancheng stepped out of the classroom, and Li Min walked in right behind her, slowly taking out forms, notices and the like from her bag.

"As everyone knows, our summer sports meet is in two weeks... Hey, is there a sports representative? Who is it?"

"Li Yunfei—"

"Li Yunfei".

Li Min looked at Li Yunfei, who was sitting with Liu Xiong in the corner of the back row:
"Has the list of projects been released yet?"

Li Yunfei quickly started rummaging through the pile of books.

After flipping through the pages for a while, Li Min had already forced herself to write a bunch of nonsense, and was about to lose patience when Li Yun finally pulled out a draft notebook, looked at it, and said:
"Teacher Li, only a few people have signed up..."
