No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 277 Luo Xiaobei, I Like You (Happy National Day)
At the bar inside a KTV private room.

Finally, exhausted from singing, Zhang Xue came to Gu Youli with another girl in her arms. She immediately noticed that Gu Youli was wearing headphones and listening to the song quietly with a happy expression on her face.

Listening to songs in a KTV?
The two girls exchanged a glance, realizing something was amiss, and then surrounded her from the left and right.

"Wow, it's so pretty, Yuri."

"Huh? This one?"

"Yeah, is this an MP3 player or a voice recorder?"

It's an MP3.

Little Pear Blossom took off her headphones and then added:
"Guan Ren gave it to me..."

Wow!

The two girls immediately began to draw out their voices, with a vibrato that sounded like a thousand trills.

Little Pear Blossom pursed her lips and gave them both a slightly reproachful look.

But my own fingers were also fiddling around under the bar.

Then, she continued, seemingly casually, saying:

"Actually... this MP3 player isn't the real gift..."

"Hmm? What do you mean? Explain in detail!"

"Well... he recorded a song in it, which he sang for me himself..."

Wow!

Upon hearing this, the two girls raised their voices even more dramatically.

Holding hands, with her eyes tightly closed, she began to whimper.

They immediately began to inquire about more gossip:
"Tell me the truth! When did you start?"

"I should say, when did you start liking it!"

"Yes, yes, who goes first?"

"Oh... I suddenly remembered that during the sports meet when you suddenly hugged Guan Ren, could it be that you were already..."

……

Surrounded by people, Gu Youli suppressed her shyness and answered earnestly.

In fact, she answered with great pleasure.

I wanted to tell others all the things that happened between me and my bad deskmate.

She never imagined that one day she would become so eager to show off, so "vain".

"Boyfriend...?"

Little Pear Blossom's eyes were tinged with a thin layer of water, and she held the MP3 player in her hands, covering her soft, gently rising and falling chest. Two dimples under her hair bloomed with beautiful pink blush.

----------

Meanwhile, downstairs at the KTV.

After parting ways with Guan Ren in a daze, Luo Xiaobei's eyes were filled with a misty, watery light, no less so than Xiao Lihua's upstairs at that moment.

Having already cried her heart out, the tears in her eyes were so thick they seemed to melt away, sticky enough to form a thin line.

In her little mind, one moment it was blank, and the next it was completely filled with memories of the taste of her childhood sweetheart.

After staring blankly at Guan Ren for a long time, he seemed to realize what had happened.

Her little face quickly turned crimson. After hastily wiping away her slightly dried tears, she stared at Guan Ren in disbelief. She first opened her mouth helplessly, and then raised a hand to slap Guan Ren across the face.

Snapped!
The sound did not reach Guan Ren's face.

Guan Ren reacted quickly and grabbed her angry little hand.

Luo Xiaobei was not to be outdone, and tried again with the other hand.

Snapped!
Guan Ren grabbed her other hand as well.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other.

Guan Ren's expression was strange.

Luo Xiaobei sulked, her face turning even redder.

Finally, he simply stood on tiptoe and jumped, then headbutted Guan Ren's chin.

"hiss!"

This was something Guan Ren hadn't expected, and he actually felt a bit of pain.

Luo Xiaobei finally shouted out indignantly:
"Pighead!"

Oh no.

What he did was more than just being a pig's head.

"You...you bad pig! You...how could you...how could you...uh?!"

However, before she could finish speaking, Luo Xiaobei's lips were sealed again.

"Mmm...uh...mmm~"

Her body, which had been trying to jump up, went limp again.

Even in her drowsy state, her two little hands involuntarily began to wrap around his waist and back...

After all, this was Luo Xiaobei's first time.

When the boy a girl has liked since childhood kisses her lips for the first time, besides her heart pounding and giving up thinking, she really can't do much else.

This time, it lasted for more than ten seconds longer than last time.

On the girl's delicate lip lines, Guan Ren tasted not only the slightly salty taste of tears, but also a sweet, candy-like fragrance, as sweet as milk and honey.

The soft, warm, pink lilac petals, though quite astringent to the taste, still possess an allure and charm that is sure to stir the heart.

Almost a minute later, Luo Xiaobei, panting heavily, pushed him away again.

“You! You!…”

Luo Xiaobei tried hard to regain her righteous indignation.

She really wanted to question this idiot, how could he do such a thing to his childhood sweetheart so soon after getting a girlfriend!

but…

But after hesitating for a while, she realized that not only was her body soft and her lips soft, but even her heart was soft, as if it were about to melt away...

After all, the lingering sensation on her lips was an experience she had only dared to dream of in countless dreams.

As a result, Luo Xiaobei didn't even know how many pillows she had "drooled" over.

Including that time on Guan Ren's pillow...

In conclusion...
Luo Xiaobei now knows that her childhood friend has done something very wrong and should be condemned.

But on the other hand, subconsciously, she actually hoped that this wrongdoing could continue.

Contradictions and dilemmas...

Sadness and joy...

In an instant, all the intense emotions of the evening converged, and Luo Xiaobei's watery eyes were filled with a complex and conflicting meaning. So much so that her words, still trembling with the urge to cry, remained stuck in her throat for a long time, stammering out:
“You…Gu Youli, she…you…”

To help her calm down, Guan Ren didn't interrupt. He just smiled and gently stroked her messy, frizzy pigtails.

In the end, Luo Xiaobei condensed all his words into two words, gritting his teeth as he shouted:

"Scumbag!"

Guan Ren also spoke up:
"you said I?"

"Otherwise what?" "Why?"

"Nonsense! Your...your girlfriend is Gu Youli! You just accepted her confession, why...why..."

"because I like you."

"Eh…?"

Luo Xiaobei stood there dumbfounded.

Perhaps for most people, a girl's first kiss is the most important thing.

But for Luo Xiaobei, her childhood friend's "I like you" was the one thing that truly mattered more than anything else.

It's even better than a kiss.

Of course! It's not that she doesn't like kissing... or anything, it's just...

……

In her panic, Luo Xiaobei also started fidgeting and acting coy.

Guan Ren gently put his arm around her waist and looked at her intently.
"Luo Xiaobei, I like you."

"What...what nonsense are you talking about! You like me, but what about Gu Youli...?"

"Luo Xiaobei!"

Guan Ren interrupted Qingmei directly and repeated:
"I like you!"

Luo Xiaobei was taken aback upon hearing this. After a long while, she turned her little face slightly away and mumbled:
"Then...when did you start..."

"I've liked you since I was little, whether it's as childhood friends or as just general affection for a girl."

When Guan Ren said those words, Luo Xiaobei's eyes reddened again.

"So, Xiao Bei, what about you?... Ouch!"

Guan Ren asked another question.

Then I got hit in the chest.

Then came the shoulders and waist, all of which were patted by Luo Xiaobei, who was biting her lip tightly and had red eyes.

"...Idiot! Pighead! Who wants you to like me...I don't like you! I hate you! I've hated you the most since I was little!..."

She mumbled to herself, her little red nose twitching, sobbing. Gradually, she sank into Guan Ren's arms again, her hands gripping his lower back tightly, and burst into tears once more.

Guan Ren smiled slightly, his expression tinged with bitterness.

It turns out that his childhood sweetheart, who always seemed to be smiling, was actually a girl who cried more than anyone else…

He gently stroked Luo Xiaobei's head, letting her cry her heart out for a while longer.

Then I looked up and gazed at the KTV upstairs.

The smile on his lips turned even more bitter.

--------

"Huh? Where did Guan Ren go?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen him."

Inside the private room, two girls who had been gossiping noticed something amiss and casually asked about it.

Upon hearing this, Gu Youli's eyes flickered, and she calmly said:

"Luo Xiaobei seems to have something to do. He went... I sent him to find her."

"Oh okay."

I was just saying that.

The door to the private room opened, and Guan Ren returned.

Following behind was Luo Xiaobei, who had clearly just been crying.

"Xiaobei..."

Upon seeing this, Du Zihan was the first to go to greet them.

The others, especially the girls, seemed to understand something at once upon seeing this, and exchanged glances.

When Gu Youli saw Luo Xiaobei's eyes, a tender look of heartache flashed across her own.

But not bad.

Because immediately afterward, she saw her boyfriend, Guan Ren, without saying a word to anyone else, come straight to her side, smile, and wink at her:

"How's the MP3? Is it good?"

"generally."

Gu Youli composed herself, raised her chin slightly, and said calmly.

The other two girls naturally left at this point. Guan Ren sat down, wanting to say something, but Gu Youli couldn't help but glance at Luo Xiaobei over there again, and then asked:

"Is Luo Xiaobei... alright?"

"She's... fine, she's doing well."

"..."

"Really, I've taken care of everything."

"How...did you handle it?"

"There's nothing specific, but we've reached a consensus on one thing."

"what's up?"

Guan Ren chuckled and whispered in Gu Youli's ear:

"Of course it is: you will be my girlfriend from now on."

"..."

Gu Youli's face flushed slightly.

The happiness in a girl's heart during her first love can always be easily filled by her boyfriend's words.

After being filled, Gu Youli quickly responded to Zhang Xue's call and went to sing.

……

Guan Ren also sat back down on the sofa.

He sat down next to Luo Xiaobei.

"Go away."

Luo Xiaobei muttered expressionlessly:
There's no space at the bar.

"Is the sofa any better? I came all the way down to find you, I'm a little tired too..."

"Hmph...who told you to come down here to find me..."

Guan Ren thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Youli on the stage.

Then, feigning nonchalance, he said:
"Actually, before I wanted to go down myself, it was Yuri who told me to go down and find you."

"Eh…?"

Luo Xiaobei was taken aback. She looked at the girl on the stage who was singing and deeply immersed in happiness. She bit her lower lip, seemingly lost in thought, but her eyes glistened with a slight moisture.

Complex and bittersweet.

Then he turned his head, glared at Guan Ren fiercely, and pinched his waist hard.

"Aww—!?"

"Damn it, Ren-ge, what are you yelling about?"

"N-nothing, it's just that Yuri sang so well! I couldn't help but cheer..."
