No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 242 I miss you

night.

In the bedroom.

"Ahhh! Guan Ren, hurry, hurry, hurry! I...I can't take it anymore!"

"I'm already very fast!"

The voices of Guan Ren and Luo Xiaobei in the headphones were very passionate.

But there was nothing they could do; ultimately, due to the disparity in equipment, the two fell before the boss, who was down to his last sliver of health.

"Wow——"

Luo Xiaobei screamed and burst into tears.

Of course, I wasn't really crying.

Guan Ren also knew that his childhood sweetheart would never cry.

"Sigh, forget it, I'll just stick to collecting materials and strengthening it."

Guan Ren sighed.

But today is different from the past.

In the past, if things had been like this, Guan Ren would have had no choice but to diligently collect materials.

But today, when Guan Ren was fighting a boss with Luo Xiaobei in "Wenjian OL" again after a long time, and then narrowly lost, there was a moment when he really had the urge to spend tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan on the game.

"This is a test of humanity!"

"What the hell are you doing, you idiot?"

"It's not me who's foolish, it's human nature!"

Guan Ren has many roles, feigning compassion and empathy:

"North, do you understand human nature?"

"I understand."

Luo Xiaobei responded, then blushed slightly.

Human nature is such that one is attracted to food and sex...

For example, last night she accidentally mistook her pillow for her childhood sweetheart again, and... well, you know... and now she suddenly feels a little embarrassed thinking about it.

"Luo Xiaobei, I also need to learn about human nature so that I won't be too tempted by pay-to-win games in the future and end up throwing money into them."

"Tch! I wouldn't do that."

Luo Xiaobei is very smart; as long as she isn't greedy, she won't be tempted.

For example, she is not greedy at all; having one boy by her side for a lifetime is enough.

On the other hand, someone...

snort!
He already had a childhood sweetheart fall for him, but then he got involved with his deskmate...

"Humanity is a glimmer of light that appeared at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, but it is not something that ordinary people can possess."

Guan Ren shook his head and swayed his body, because he had recently been writing about related topics in his book "The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism".

"Oh, then I'll go buy a copy of that book called 'The Crowd' tomorrow."

"That's not necessary."

Actually, "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind" is also known as "The Art of Fooling the People," and it is a summary by Western elites on how to fool the masses.

After all, religious civilizations have always preferred to control the interpretation of scriptures. Unlike truly high-dimensional civilizations, which had sages like Confucius and King Wen of Zhou thousands of years ago to explain the Way of Heaven to everyone and truly enlighten the people.

"Damn it! It's all the fault of the beautiful teacher!"

"How dare you! You mustn't be disrespectful to your master!"

"How long have you been AFK? You're no longer my master, it's none of your business."

Luo Xiaobei complained a little. Even though [Beautiful Girl Teacher] had been online these past few days, and quite frequently, she was just helping her with dungeons. It was only because the major update of "Wenjian OL" had opened up new levels, and [Beautiful Girl Teacher] was busy getting higher-level equipment.

"Guan Ren, how about we play League of Legends?"

"Uh... never mind, let's do it another day, I have something to do."

"What's your business?"

Luo Xiaobei was suspicious. Could it be that he had done something to betray his childhood sweetheart?
"study."

"Whom do you learn from?"

Could it be with the class monitor, Gu Youli?
See? He really is doing something to betray his childhood sweetheart!

Of course, Luo Xiaobei ultimately had no evidence.

But then I remembered that meaningful remark made by Gu Youli on the night of the closing ceremony of the sports meet.

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

……

To be honest, regarding the "little secret between his childhood friend and his deskmate," in the first few days, Luo Xiaobei thought: Although it was not appropriate to ask Guan Ren about this matter, should he directly ask Gu Youli?
After much deliberation, it turned out that it wouldn't work either.

Because of this questioning, it was obvious that Luo Xiaobei was uneasy and unsettled, which made her seem inferior to Gu Youli.

Gu Youli's position in Luo Xiaobei's heart is very clear: she is a love rival!

How could she possibly back down in front of her love rival!
……

But since he had thought of this, Luo Xiaobei couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Who knows how many other girls you're having secret relationships with..."

"Ok?"

The sound from the earphones was very low, and Guan Ren wasn't paying attention; he was busy chatting with An Ning and didn't hear clearly.
"What did you say?"

"I don't know, hehehe~!"

"..."

Guan Ren was always quite frustrated by people who rambled on and on without explaining themselves clearly, and then refused to repeat themselves afterwards.

But that only applies to Luo Xiaobei.

Or rather, it's just a cute and pretty girl like Luo Xiaobei.

So whenever Guan Ren started grumbling, his frustration would only last for a short while.

Looking back, I even find those rambling thoughts quite amusing and kind of cute.

Guan Ren was also aware of this:

"As expected, beautiful women, and those with decent personalities, tend to have more privileges..."

For example, when she's babbling incoherently, it can feel adorable. And when she's angry, it can sometimes feel like she's being affectionate.

For example, her feet are a bit jade-like and smell a bit better than those of ordinary women.

……

"Bye-bye, goodnight."

"Mmm~ Goodnight, you pig~"

After hanging up the voice call, Guan Ren began studying.

However, he doesn't study alone.

That's so boring.

So I called Xiaolihua first.

beep--

"Hey."

"Hey, Yuri, it's me~"

"..."

"Young pear?"

Guan Ren glanced at his phone with a puzzled expression.

Why don't you speak?
……

Xiao Lihua's recent behavior has been quite refreshing, including this afternoon, and Guan Ren found himself actually being charmed by her.

He's not the kind of guy who blushes when he looks at a girl for too long...

So when Guan Ren came back, he was thinking of turning the tables.

……

But when she made the call, Gu Youli didn't say anything after saying "hello".

What's the story behind this?

"Young Pear? Can you hear me?"

"..."

"Alright, Yuri, stop it. I can hear you breathing, okay?"

Guan Ren even deliberately took a deep breath next to the microphone:
"Hmm, it smells pretty good~ What did you have for dinner? It certainly wasn't your sister who made it, right?"

"..."

Gu Youli remained silent.

But his breathing was noticeably more disordered.

It was at this moment that Guan Ren suddenly realized that the initial "hello" from the other end of the phone seemed somewhat different from usual...

No...no good!
Realizing this, Guan Ren's heart skipped a beat.

And finally, someone spoke on the phone:

"Guan Ren, are you always this frivolous with the girls in your class? I think it's necessary to invite your parents to the school again to discuss this issue!"

"Gu...Teacher Gu..."

"Oh, it doesn't seem necessary. I can talk to your mother at the yoga studio on the weekend."

"..."

Although Gu Wancheng's tone sounded just as cold and stern as it had been at school.

However, Guan Ren could still tell that Gu Wancheng was just trying to scare him and didn't really intend to do so.

Even so, it was still quite embarrassing for Guan Ren to call his sister and get caught by his older sister.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy:

It's like "flirting with your wife on the phone, only to find out you've called your mother-in-law instead."

Immediately afterwards, some noises came from the other end of the phone.

After a rustling sound, the real Gu Youli took over the phone:

"Hello... Guan Ren?"

"Young Pear, just now..."

"Yes, I know. My sister and I both had our phones on the table, both on vibrate. She just came out of the shower, and she just picked one up and answered it. It turned out to be my phone..."

"Oh fine."

"You guys... are you alright?"

Gu Youli was afraid that her sister's relationship with Guan Ren would deteriorate.

"It's nothing...it's fine, it's fine..."

Guan Ren will skip the details and get straight to the point:
"Then go somewhere where Teacher Gu can't hear me. I have something very important to tell you."

"Ah."

Guan Ren was very serious, and Gu Youli was very obedient, walking all the way to the balcony:

"Go ahead and tell me, what is it?"

Guan Ren spoke slowly and deliberately:
"I miss you."

"..."

Shh! Don't tell anyone, it's a secret!

"How stupid..."

However, falling for such a silly guy probably makes me a bit silly too.

Little Pear Blossom covered her heart with her hand, her lips slightly upturned.

"Guan Ren."

"Ok?"

"I miss you as well."
