No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 231 Monthly President

"Okay, thank you to the students of Class 22 of Senior High School for their wonderful performance!"

……

After Guan Renyi finished singing, the host on the stage said something that left the students of Class 7 in the audience bewildered.

Ren-ge is from our Class 7!

After showing off such a great skill, how did you end up in Class 12?

But the host, or rather, Gou Sheng, Tie Dan, and others, couldn't do anything about it.

It's important to understand that this isn't like the previous cases with Gu Youli and Luo Xiaobei, where other classes were involved.

But this time it happened suddenly. Guan Ren was pulled up without any prior notice or practice, and he could only sing and play the guitar by himself.

Several students from Class 12 had prepared a rock performance, which didn't fit with their solo singing and playing, so they couldn't participate.

So in the end, it could only be Guan Ren's solo show.

But this way.

This performance seems to have absolutely nothing to do with Class 12.

But Guan Ren did come on behalf of Class 12.

Therefore, Gou Sheng and the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the host that they would say Guan Ren was from their class of twelve.

Otherwise, it would indeed be difficult to describe.

……

"Wow, today's program is so exciting, one show after another, full of surprises! Can we give them an even louder round of applause?"

slam-la-

To be honest, the enthusiastic applause from the audience wasn't just for the host's sake.

Rather, everyone was genuinely excited.

"Hey, this song is so good! Has anyone recorded it?"

"No, try searching online."

"What the hell are you looking for! They already said it's a song called 'Paper Short, Love Long,' go ahead and search for it. If you can find it, I'll livestream myself eating shit on Tieba!"

"Well, it's hard to say. What if that classmate has already posted this song online?"

……

A lively discussion broke out in the audience.

Class 7 was even more noisy.

But still the same sentence.

Whether it's the noise and commotion, the cheers and applause, it's all there.

At this moment, nothing was as deafening to Luo Xiaobei as the words she had heard from Gu Youli in the short span of time.

I like Guan Ren.

I like it even more than you do.

When Gu Youli uttered the first sentence, Luo Xiaobei's mind went blank for a while.

You can hear the second sentence.

Her mind cleared up instantly.

Her sign of being clear-headed was her long silence.

……

"Hey, hey, don't go yet, let's interview him."

"what?"

Whether it was a surge of enthusiasm for performing, the excitement of the evening's atmosphere, or simply a desire to hone their skills, the host on stage began to add their own dramatic flair.

"Excuse me, could you please introduce yourself?"

"Uh... Guan Ren, the Guan in Guan Guan Jujiu, and the Ren in Ren Zhe Wu Di."

……

Below the stage.

Guan Ren looked embarrassed and dumbfounded when the host stopped him.

Gu Youli and Luo Xiaobei, who had been silent for a while, both laughed at the same time.

A gentle, understated smile.

A voice as sweet as a silver bell.

After the laughter subsided, silence gradually returned.

Then, just like Gu Youli, Luo Xiaobei, while intently watching her childhood sweetheart on the stage, spoke up:

"Guan Ren and I have been together for a long time, since we were children."

"Yes, so far."

Gu Youli's gaze was calm:
"What about later?"

"It will take longer in the future."

"An even longer childhood sweetheart/childhood friend?"

Gu Youli's tone was as calm as a flat, straight line:

"Then please." ...

Actually, it wasn't very convenient to ask for help.

At least ever since Gu Youli fell in love with Guan Ren, she has always felt somewhat repulsed by his daily interactions with Luo Xiaobei.

However, at first, Xiaolihua didn't realize that she had started dating early, so naturally she didn't realize this.

Later, she realized it, but because of her naive feelings such as "I can't be petty" and "they are just childhood sweethearts," coupled with the pride she inherited from her sister, she suppressed the unpleasant feeling that represented jealousy.

However, strangely enough, also because of her pride, from the moment Xiao Lihua decided to face it bravely, her mindset changed from "I can't admit that I'm jealous of Luo Xiaobei" to "I can't lose to Luo Xiaobei".

And so, things have come to this.

Therefore, when Luo Xiaobei said "it will be longer in the future," Gu Youli was able to try her best not to show any emotional fluctuations in front of Luo Xiaobei, and casually said "then please."

……

It's not that she really doesn't care.

But she had to say it.

……

"I see... Hmm, okay."

Luo Xiaobei nodded thoughtfully:
"However, Gu Youli, I don't think you like Guan Ren more than I do. Besides, my future with him will indeed be longer, but it won't just be childhood sweethearts."

"Is it."

Gu Youli's eyelashes trembled slightly, but the beautiful curve of her chin lifted even higher:
"But in fact, after all this time, you two are still childhood sweethearts. I don't understand where your confidence comes from."

"I…"

"Or is it that you actually lack confidence?"

Gu Youli looked at Luo Xiaobei:

"I know you like Guan Ren, but do you think Guan Ren likes you?"

"he!…"

"You don't understand, you lack confidence. If you did, you wouldn't still be just childhood sweethearts with him."

Gu Youli felt her thoughts were clearer than ever before:
"But I must admit, your caution is justified, because if one day you confess your feelings to him only to find out that he doesn't like you, you might not even be able to maintain your current relationship."

"You don't need to tell me that!"

Luo Xiaobei bit her lip tightly, something stuck in her throat.

The doubts I had always taken for granted sounded so hurtful when spoken by another girl, especially another girl who liked my childhood friend.

"ridiculous!"

Luo Xiaobei is still persisting.

She insisted on making herself appear as assertive as Gu Youli in front of her.
How do you know he doesn't like me?

"..."

Luo Xiaobei's sudden, resolute question made Gu Youli's heart sink.

"Okay, if it's really as you say, even I, who's always been by his side, am unsure of his attitude, then what makes you so certain that he doesn't like me?"

Luo Xiaobei paused, staring into Gu Youli's eyes:

"Are you saying this is all just wishful thinking on your part?"

One-sided...wishful thinking?
A hint of unease flickered in Gu Youli's eyes.

But after seeing the triumphant smile on Luo Xiaobei's lips, she took a deep breath and calmed down.

The song "A Short Letter, A Long Affection" that Guan Ren had just sung and played, along with the little note he had written to her, resurfaced in Gu Youli's mind.

"It seems there's more to him than just the guitar..."

"?"

----------

on the rostrum.

Having finally finished dealing with the host's so-called interview, Guan Ren was replying to a text message praising him from the goddess Little Lemon when he suddenly felt a chill rise from his limbs.

"hiss--"

Despite the sweltering heat, he actually shivered.

What kind of demon is trying to harm me?
Guan Ren turned around abruptly and saw a dense crowd of teachers and students.

"You're scaring yourself..."

Guan Ren pursed his lips, but paused for a moment when he turned around.

Because behind the playground, among the group of outsiders who came to watch the commotion, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure that felt very familiar.

Monthly total?
strangeness…

I just caught a glimpse of a woman, and somehow I got a feeling about her…

Guan Ren thought for a moment, then firmly shook his head.

How could the person he met after graduating from university and starting work in his previous life possibly appear in the high school he attended during his teenage years?
However, the trembling I felt just now was probably because I was thinking about her subconsciously.

After all, the thought of her made Guan Ren tremble, and it wasn't just his body that shuddered.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

Guan Ren touched his kidney, clicked his tongue as if both worried and savoring the memory, and walked down the steps.
