No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 262 What should you do on a date?
That night.

"Pighead!"

"Fool!"

"You big idiot!"

"idiot!"

In the game's voice chat, Guan Ren and Luo Xiaobei were "bantering" each other in a way that was even more childish than elementary school students.

The reason for this was that Guan Ren and Luo Xiaobei didn't coordinate well when they were playing the dungeon with the "Beautiful Girl Teacher".

However, a lack of coordination does not mean that the two lack chemistry.

In fact, it was probably because these childhood sweethearts were so in sync that they accidentally cast the same buff on the [Beautiful Girl Teacher], and ended up losing this currently most difficult dungeon by a hair's breadth.

"You big idiot!"

"Ugh... tsk, never mind."

Guan Ren was speechless and almost laughed.

But when I'm with Luo Xiaobei, it's often like this: I'll unconsciously be led astray by her and act childishly like she did when we were kids.

"The main thing is, is Master angry?"

"It's not that bad. Master just said that if she hits us again, she won't take us two burdens with her... Besides, she seems to be in a pretty good mood today."

"Oh? What did she say in your private message?"

"No."

"How did you figure that out?"

it's actually really easy.

When Luo Xiaobei logged on tonight, she was surprised to see that the usually serious "Beautiful Girl Teacher" was actually doing a "dancing" character action by a river with a beautiful view in the game.

They even used a one-time-use prop called "All-Encompassing Orange Light".

This is an exclusive little gadget that can only be obtained by the top ten players in the monthly PK arena. It doesn't have any practical use, but it makes a lot of orange flower petals swirl around your character when they dance, which looks pretty.

Luo Xiaobei remembered asking her master to try it out before, since it was just sitting there anyway, and she wanted to see how it worked.

But her master never bothered to respond to her request.

Unexpectedly, when I logged on tonight, I saw her actively using this prop and action.

Of course, Luo Xiaobei was watching secretly from the side.

The "beautiful girl teacher" probably saw her online notification soon after, and stopped dancing, returning to the meticulous master image that Luo Xiaobei was familiar with.

"So, based on my judgment, Master must have had a great day and is in a very good mood~ Oh right! You pighead!"

"Why are you so startled..."

"Do you think Master has a boyfriend?"

"Huh? Didn't you say before that she had never been in a relationship?"

Guan Ren had a deep impression of this.

Because it's said that the "beautiful girl teacher" is a female college student, and in this world where people's hearts are no longer pure, there are too few female college students who don't fall in love.

So this is your first love!

Luo Xiaobei exclaimed in surprise:
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to gossip!"

……

A short while later, after [Beautiful Girl Teacher] finished the second dungeon, Luo Xiaobei went to chat with her.

[On the River Isle: Master, Master, is something going on?]

[Beautiful female teacher: What do you mean?]

[On the River Isle: Hehe, you know what I mean~]

Clearly, the "beautiful girl teacher" doesn't really understand.

[On the River Isle: Master, you seem to be in a very good mood today.]

[Pretty girl teacher: Hmm, not bad]

Luo Xiaobei's judgment was correct; his master was indeed in a good mood.

This can also be seen from her faster typing speed than usual.

Although she didn't know what Luo Xiaobei meant by "something's going on," she did ask Luo Xiaobei a question in return:
[Beautiful teacher: Summer vacation is here, have you and your childhood sweetheart gone out to play together yet?]

"?"

To be honest, Luo Xiaobei felt that the question was asked quite suddenly.

Of course, she had no idea that the "beautiful girl teacher" had already found out the answer from someone's casual remark.

We were just talking in the heat of the moment, and that's all we thought of.

[On the River Isle: You said you wanted to go on a date? Hehe, yes, yes~]

There was silence on the other side for a while.

[Beautiful Girl Teacher: Specifically, what do you do on a date?]

[On the River Isle: Oh, this one.]

Tsk tsk, Master Xiao Chunu, she's made me do some research on this stuff~
Luo Xiaobei thought to herself with a touch of smugness.

Although she herself was also Xiao Chunu.

[On the Riverbank: Actually, Master, you said it yourself, dating is just about going out together, shopping, and eating. The specifics of how you shop or what you eat aren't important. The important thing is that you both feel comfortable together~]

As soon as these words came out.

The silence on the other end lasted a while longer.

[Pretty teacher: Going shopping and eating together counts as a date?]

"Huh? Of course, what else did she think it was going to be so complicated?"

Luo Xiaobei frowned slightly. Although her master was Xiao Chunu, she was still too innocent.

Do you still think that a date has to be like on TV, with flowers and red wine?
She doesn't even know this? Does that mean she's a college girl who's lived for at least twenty years and has never liked anyone?

Well…

Could it be because... the hardware isn't up to par?

Luo Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, wondering if this was the case.

Then, blinking her eyes, she thought of another possibility.

[Going shopping and eating together, does that count as a date?]

What Master meant by that... could it be...?

Luo Xiaobei stared at the screen, her face gradually turning red. After muttering to herself, "Girls are indeed girls," she decided to adopt the air of "fellow girls" and typed out a string of words.

[On the Riverbank: Of course, even if we went on a date, we weren't a couple, so we didn't end up going to a hotel.]

Luo Xiaobei feigned indifference.

But actually, my heart was pounding when I typed the word "open".

As for the master, the "Beautiful Girl Teacher," she didn't say anything more after that. She just silently distributed the materials she had gathered to Luo Xiaobei and Guan Ren, and then logged off.

—————————— The following morning.

Guan Ren went to Luo Xiaobei's house.

They went there carrying gifts, mainly to make a routine visit to Luo Jianming and Su Ping.

After that, he played PS2 with Luo Xiaobei. There was a bicycle game on it with various hills and slopes on the map. It had a slightly futuristic feel to it, like "My Cancer Is All Cured". Guan Ren still doesn't know the name.

But not important.

Anyway, no matter what game it is, playing it with Luo Xiaobei seems to be quite fun.

Especially at times like these, Guan Ren finds it very enjoyable and therapeutic to be able to admire her nimble and adorable little feet.

Speaking of which... if it's just being healed by a girl's feet... it shouldn't be considered perverted, right?

After all, who doesn't like small, cute, and fair-skinned things?
Snapped!
"?!"

Guan Ren was enjoying it.

Turning her head, Luo Xiaobei suddenly slapped Guan Ren's arm, startling him.
What the hell do you mean?

"mosquito."

Luo Xiaobei pouted and pointed at Guan Ren's arm. Guan Ren looked down and saw that he had been bitten by a mosquito at some point.

"I got bitten too, it's so annoying."

She then pointed to her arm, where there was another one.

At this time, many residential areas in Jiangzhou County are low-rise buildings, so it is inevitable that mosquitoes will run rampant in the summer.

"But they've already flown away. What's the point of slapping me if it only hurts me?"

Guan Ren suspected that Qingmei was just playing around and rolled his eyes at her.

Luo Xiaobei chuckled and prepared to get up:

"What a big bag! It's so itchy. I'm going to get some floral water to put on it."

"Need not."

Guan Ren shook his head and used his fingernail to make a cross on his mosquito bite:
"Look, it's sealed."

"whispering sound…"

Luo Xiaobei pouted:
"Does self-deception even work?"

"Why isn't it working? Give me your hand."

Luo Xiaobei raised her arm and placed her fair little hand into his palm.

Guan Ren aimed at the mosquito bite on her wrist and made a cross with his fingers, one horizontal and one vertical.

"Benefactor, the demon has been sealed away by this old monk. No need to thank me."

But instead of thanking Guan Ren, Luo Xiaobei added another stroke to the cross, turning the mosquito bite into the character "米" (rice).

"Quack doctor! This is how it should be done!"

"Is it really necessary? Your bag is clearly smaller than mine."

"But my skin is delicate, so I need to apply it a little more~"

"..."

After playing for another hour, Guan Ren heard Su Ping starting to get busy in the kitchen, so he quickly went over to say hello.

"Auntie, I'm leaving now."

"Huh? Not eating lunch?"

"I'm not eating. It's too hot, and I don't have much of an appetite. Don't bother."

This is not the case.

The main reason is that I still need to teach Gu Wancheng how to cook today, so we will naturally have lunch at Gu Wancheng's house again.

……

"Teacher Gu, let's make stir-fried pork today."

"Ah."

Snapped!
However, before it even started, Gu Wancheng slapped herself on the arm.

Guan Ren was taken aback:
"Are there mosquitoes?"

"Ah."

"Did you hit it?"

"No."

Gu Wancheng scratched around the mosquito bite, actually wanting to scratch it directly, but afraid of breaking it open.

So they used the Cross Seal Technique to make a cross on the mosquito bite.

"That does not work."

Seeing this, Guan Ren shook his head, then smiled as if he had remembered something, and pinched her soft skin again:
"That's great, Teacher Gu, your skin is so smooth, the character '米' suits you perfectly!"

"..."

"Ahem... I'll start cooking, Mr. Gu, you keep an eye on it."

In no time at all, Guan Ren had cooked the dish.

But Gu Wancheng didn't seem to be studying as diligently as she did yesterday.

He seemed to have something on his mind.

After the meal was served and they were almost finished, Gu Wancheng suddenly spoke up:

"I ate out yesterday and I think it really helped me with my cooking skills."

"Really?"

Guan Ren nodded upon hearing this:

"That's good."

"..."

Seeing that Guan Ren only said "That's good" and then fell silent, Gu Wancheng seemed even more preoccupied. She frowned, glanced at him, pursed her red lips slightly, and continued in a faint voice:
"I think we could... go again today..."

"Ok?"

Guan Ren was somewhat surprised, but he nodded:
"Okay, then five o'clock this afternoon..."

"Four o'clock."

"?"

"Leave at four o'clock."

"Four o'clock...that's still a long way from dinner time, isn't it?"

"fine."

As Gu Wancheng spoke, she picked up the bowl and drank the soup, as if she had drunk it all in one gulp, then lifted the entire small bowl to cover her face:
"It's nothing more than... strolling around the streets a bit more... like yesterday, and maybe doing some research on the street food..."
