No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 248 Gu Wancheng - JK Version (Three chapters today, two chapters combined)

Xingye Road did not experience a power outage, but the load pressure was still considerable.

So outside the internet cafe, a diesel generator was also rumbling loudly.

Once inside, the seats were almost completely full.

It's because of the new internet cafe.

Many others, like Guan Ren, came to escape the summer heat.

This includes some girls who came with male companions, sipping Coke bought from Dicos, sitting in their seats watching TV series, browsing QQ Space, and so on.

From the other seats, the sounds of mice being slammed and keyboards being smashed could be heard from time to time.

Among them were voices from young men:

"Damn it! We got screwed over!"

"Come on, jungler, you idiot!"

Most kids learn to swear because they think it's cool when adults say it. Guan Ren hates kids swearing, which is why he especially likes An Guo Guo.

"Damn, it's a cold jelly vendor..."

The internet cafe was quite big. Guan Ren looked around but couldn't find where the vendor selling cold noodles had gone.

But in a corner, he saw the figure that looked exactly like Gu Youli, the one he had seen upstairs in the teahouse.

She was still wearing a sun hat, but had taken off her sunglasses.

Although her face cannot be seen from behind, one can vaguely discern from her outline and bone structure that she must be a pretty and delicate girl.

Moreover, one could vaguely sense from his physique that he was more mature than his classmates.

Could she really be a senior student?

"..."

Guan Ren glanced at the man sitting opposite her, a man with a scarred face and a buzz cut, who was smoking, and frowned.

I wonder if this senior student had any companions.

If you're alone, coming to an internet cafe in this area is definitely not a good idea.

Then, Guan Ren took another look at her school trousers.

It was clean and tidy, though.

She's just as pure as girls like Gu Youli and Xiao Ningmeng.

According to Guan's Law that "good-looking school uniform = good-looking person", Guan Ren was about to walk around to the front and pretend to admire the scenery to take a look at this "senior sister" when a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the internet cafe.

"Wang Yixin! Run!"

"What?"

A young man let out a roar, and then a number of students stood up, taking out their earphones while nervously staring at the door.

At that moment, Guan Ren's phone rang.

"Hey?"

"Brother Ren, the inspectors are here to raid internet cafes!"

"what?"

Guan Ren thought for a moment:
"It's okay, I didn't turn the computer on."

"Well, just a heads-up, you decide what to do."

Guan Ren himself was fine, but his gaze couldn't help but shift to the "senior sister".

So, it's really silly of me to still be wearing school pants to the internet these past few days.

Meanwhile, the entire internet cafe erupted in chaos, but the "senior" remained calmly playing her game.

He even plays the same outdated online game as himself, "Wenjian OL".

Guan Ren couldn't help but rub his forehead.

After much hesitation, I made a difficult decision.

Okay, even though Guan Ren doesn't like dealing with strangers, I'll give her a heads-up because of her school pants... uh... because we're from the same school and play the same game.

So, as the first police officer lifted the curtain and entered, Guan Ren also took three steps at a time, passing through the group of fleeing elementary school students, and came to the "senior sister" behind him.

"Hey…"

It doesn't seem very polite.

"Hey kid, the inspectors are here to check internet cafes."

The other person didn't turn their head, staring at the screen, their slender fingers continuing to tap nimbly on the keyboard, letting out a cold "tsk":
"Don't make a sound, I'm in a stun state."

Guan Ren was taken aback upon hearing this.

Because this voice... seems a little familiar?
No no no…

I must say, we're almost too familiar with each other!

"Gu...Teacher Gu?"

"?!"

Guan Ren's suspicious probing question made the "senior" tremble. She turned her head in surprise, and sure enough, a pretty and aloof face came into Guan Ren's view.

Is it really...this woman?

Guan Ren gave her a blank glance.

The face was indeed that beautiful and captivating face.

But dressing up…

Wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, school uniform pants, and a long ponytail behind a sun hat, she exudes a youthful and vibrant aura if one doesn't focus on her mature and beautiful face and demeanor.

But when you look at it with the face on it, it creates a strange and inexplicably touching contrast...

High school girl...JK Gu Wancheng?
Upon seeing Guan Ren, Gu Wancheng's expression changed.

Given that her fateful encounters with this student had become increasingly frequent and memorable since the Lunar New Year, Gu Wancheng's first feeling was one of disbelief at "how did I run into him again?"

He immediately realized what was happening and instinctively his face darkened.
"What are you doing in an internet cafe! Is this a place for you?!"

"No ..."

After the initial surprise, Guan Ren frowned, glanced again at the fierce-looking man sitting opposite her, who was playing Legend of Mir, and then stared into Gu Wancheng's eyes:

"Teacher Gu, I also want to ask you, what are you doing here?"

Gu Wancheng not only dressed like a high school girl, but also came to an internet cafe, and... she was even playing games?

Is this really Gu Wancheng?

That infamous Gu the Devil?

"..."

Faced with Guan Ren's question, Gu Wancheng was momentarily at a loss for words. After a moment of stiffness, her eyebrows furrowed, and she turned her face slightly to the side.
"I'm an adult, I can come whenever I want."

"you…"

Guan Ren frowned slightly, about to say something, when a commotion broke out in the internet cafe. Several students were being herded out by the police.

Most of them were elementary and middle school students, and there was one high school student who was also foolishly wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School.

In addition, school officials were also inspecting the site.

One of them surprised Guan Ren.

What? The dean of students from No. 2 Middle School is here too?
Although he is the dean of studies for the junior high school.

But Guan Ren never really knew the specific responsibilities of someone like him, and suspected that he was a vice principal or something similar, since he could always be seen at various important occasions.

Looking back at Gu Wancheng.

She arrived and immediately shut down the game.

Even so, she realized that her school trousers were not very convenient, so she moved her legs together behind Guan Ren.

In her panic, she didn't know why, but she glanced at Guan Ren.

When she realized that Guan Ren was also looking at her, she frowned slightly, looked away, clenched her hands twice, and then resolutely sat back down in her seat.

"Still sitting? Let's go!"

"I'm not a student, why should I leave?"

"Did you bring your ID card?"

"..."

Gu Wancheng fell silent.

After all, temporary cards for illegal internet cafes are rampant in Jiangzhou County, and Gu Wancheng would definitely not want to use her ID card for safety reasons when she occasionally goes online.

Putting that aside, it would also be troublesome if the head of the teaching department knew Gu Wancheng.

A normally prim and proper female teacher wearing school trousers to surf the internet at an internet cafe...

Regardless of whether others would find it strange, Gu Wancheng herself couldn't accept being seen like this by people she knew.

As for Guan Ren seeing it, that's another matter...

Anyway, I've already had even more embarrassing things happen with him, so one more won't make a difference...

But having a second person would definitely be bad! "Oh, stop thinking about it, let's go!"

Seeing that people from the school and the police station had come to investigate, Guan Ren urged Gu Wancheng to run away.

Seeing that Gu Wancheng was still dawdling, and that the head of the teaching department was looking this way, Guan Ren grabbed her hand and quickly walked towards the back door.

Gu Wancheng could only keep up with him.

I glanced at his hands as well.

Hey! Over there!

Shouts came from behind.

Guan Ren quickened his pace even further.

He also knew that when inspecting internet cafes, it was usually most important to identify a few typical cases, rather than specifically targeting individuals.

So as he ran faster, he also subconsciously gripped Gu Wancheng's hand even tighter.

After running out the back door, Gu Wancheng broke free from Guan Ren's hand, but before she could say anything, Guan Ren immediately retorted.

What are you doing here if you have nothing to do?

Gu Wancheng was taken aback, somewhat unable to understand the faint anger in the student's eyes.

Speaking of which... it seems like he's been a little unhappy ever since he recognized me?
Although I don't quite understand.

But Gu Wancheng was naturally not satisfied with his attitude, and raised her chin coldly, saying:

"Guan Ren, how dare you talk to a teacher like that? A minor student coming to a place like this, and you still have the nerve to act so self-righteous?"

"how about you?"

Guan Ren sneered, but it was a laugh born of anger:
"Do you know what kind of people like to gather in the internet cafes, arcades, and billiard halls around Xing'an Road?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Wancheng suddenly vaguely understood his meaning. After a slight pause and contemplation, she continued, frowning slightly:

"But this is Xingye Road."

"Xingye Road is right next to Xing'an Road! Do you see that guy sitting across from you? He was one of the gangsters who got into a fight with students from No. 3 Middle School on Xing'an Road two years ago!"

"..."

Gu Wancheng lowered her chin slightly.

But after a moment, she gently bit her lower lip and said softly:
"When I arrived, I saw quite a few girls inside..."

"Didn't you see they came in groups?"

Gu Wancheng took a breath, her eyes sharpening slightly:
"how about you?"

"I'm not alone!"

"Oh?"

Gu Wancheng's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly:
"So you mean, other classmates came to the internet cafe with you?"

"I...cough..."

Guan Ren hesitated for a moment.

Then, when I looked into Gu Wancheng's eyes again, I felt my aura suddenly crumble, and I instinctively quickly explained:

"I didn't come to the internet cafe with them; I came to the teahouse to enjoy the air conditioning!"

"A teahouse? Ha!"

Gu Wancheng crossed her arms in her classic pose, and even though the white T-shirt was originally loose, her slender arms accentuated her full, curvaceous figure, befitting a "senior student."

"You still dare to gamble?"

"We didn't play cards!"

"No? Then what is this?"

She suddenly raised her hand, and with a fragrant aroma, tore a piece of paper off Guan Ren's face.

How much is this one?

"Teacher Gu, we're just playing cards, just sticking notes on the table. There's no way we'd be betting money, and we don't have any anyway..."

Guan Ren explained helplessly.

Then I realized: Wait a minute, who's scolding whom?

Yes, she is a teacher, and theoretically, there's nothing wrong with a teacher disciplining a student.

But objectively speaking, it's clearly her fault for lacking safety awareness!
Ugh.

Lately, it's bad enough that Little Pear Blossom keeps taking the lead, but now Big Orange has taken over too...

Do these two sisters both have a rebellious streak?

You just like the top position?

"Teacher Gu!"

Guan Ren straightened his face and got back to the main point:
"The main problem now is that you are a woman, and you're beautiful, yet you dress like an innocent student and come to a place like this to surf the internet. It's really not a good idea! Please don't do this again!"

"you!…"

Gu Wancheng was furious.

Do students ever use phrases like "You're a woman" to address their teachers?

But then, for some reason, his anger quickly subsided.

She simply stared at him calmly.
"No matter what, I'm an adult. You're a student, and you still come to a place that you yourself feel is unsafe? What kind of internet addiction do you have?"

"What addiction... the addiction to swordsmanship, I guess..."

"?"

Guan Ren muttered something, which made Gu Wancheng's almond-shaped eyes widen, and her lips twitched slightly uncomfortably:

"What...what did you say?!"

"Well..."

Having said what needed to be said, Guan Ren began to ease the tension:
"Teacher Gu, I play that game too. It's a bit old-fashioned, but it's really fun. I know a lot of uncles and aunties who play it. It's nothing."

"..."

Guan Ren sensed a chill creeping into Gu Wancheng's gaze and added:
“Young girls play it too, like Luo Xiaobei. I played with her in junior high school, and we’ve been playing together recently.”

Gu Wancheng crossed her arms, looked left and right, remained silent for a while, and then stared at Guan Ren again:

"You're playing such an old game..."

"Teacher Gu, why would I lie to you?"

Guan Ren guarantees:

"If you don't believe me, go to Zone 1 and check my ID [关大侠520]".

"..."

"But I play much less now, because my equipment is too bad... no, mainly because studying is more important in my second year of high school!"

"okay."

Gu Wancheng was too lazy to listen to his excuses and said directly:
"You shouldn't hang around the neighborhood with your classmates anymore. Teahouses aren't much better than internet cafes."

"Ah."

Guan Ren nodded and said seriously:
"You too, Teacher Gu, remember not to come to this place again."

Gu Wancheng paused, then said in a slightly lower voice:
"I'm not as unsafe as you think; I just chose this place because it's relatively new..."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Guan Ren nodded like pecking at rice:
"Teacher Gu, you are an adult after all, so you will be more considerate. I'm just afraid that you are not familiar with the historical background of this area, so I'm reminding you again, after all, you are a female teacher."

It was at this point in the conversation that Gu Wancheng, perhaps influenced by Guan Ren, inexplicably said something that wasn't really appropriate to say to her students:

"You're really free, worrying about female teachers all the time."

"Harmful."

Guan Ren awkwardly scratched his hair:

"I'm not worried about the other female teachers either..."

"..."

In the sunlight, beneath thick eyelashes, a fleeting glint of watery light flashed in her eyes.

"I'm going back. You shouldn't just stay in that teahouse all the time. What kind of behavior is that?"

A moment later, Gu Wancheng gave a stern reprimand.

Guan Ren looked up at her, but couldn't discern anything from her face; she remained as calm as ever.

"Okay, goodbye Teacher Gu."

"Um...and also, about today's events..."

"Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know!"

"..."

Seeing Guan Ren raise his right hand to swear an oath, Gu Wancheng glared at him coldly. After Guan Ren reluctantly lowered his right hand, feeling embarrassed, she turned and left.
