No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 294 The Origins of Yoga and Ballet
"Ha! What a scumbag!"

"?"

On Sunday afternoon, Guan Ren was passing through the living room when he was inexplicably scolded by Guan Qiaoyun, who was curled up on the sofa.

What mother would call her son a scumbag?

Can this be tolerated?
Guan Ren could not.

So he sat down next to Guan Qiaoyun on her left.

It turned out that her small, fleshy feet, which were together, were placed to the right.

He sat down next to her on the right, and pressed down on her soft toes to express his displeasure:

"Sister Qiaoyun, why are you suddenly scolding me?"

"?"

Guan Qiaoyun looked completely bewildered and slowly shifted her gaze from the television to the silly boy's face:

"When did I scold you?"

"You shouted 'scumbag' really loudly just now..."

"Godly gold..."

Guan Qiaoyun rolled her eyes at him, and casually stretched her toes, her rosy and neat toenails making the reinforced sock toe material slightly transparent. She pushed away the big boy's large hand that was pressing on her toes:

"...What does this have to do with you? I'm talking about the people on TV."

"Oh?"

Guan Ren suddenly realized, rubbed his nose and looked at the TV. It turned out that Hunan TV was showing a melodramatic Korean drama.

"This male lead is such a scumbag! He tricked two women into having sex with him at the same time, and both women were stupid enough to think they were his only one. But actually, he was secretly having sex with a third... Hey? Guan Ren, what's wrong with you?"

As Guan Qiaoyun spoke, she noticed strangely that her son's face turned pale and then flushed.

"Ahem... I just think, Sister Qiaoyun, you should watch less of these messy dramas in the future. They're too detached from reality and have no substance."

Guan Ren offered some sharp advice.

Guan Qiaoyun thought about it for a moment and seemed to be deep in thought.

Putting aside whether he'd watch it or not, this kind of plot really doesn't seem suitable to tell my son... it could easily have a bad influence on this little rascal...

After all, his son has two close female friends, Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli, so objectively speaking, he has already laid the foundation for becoming a scumbag, which is very dangerous.

As for whether he'll really become a jerk in the future...

The key lies in whether mature adults like Guan Qiaoyun can provide proper guidance.

And clearly, it's not a good example of a mother enjoying watching a show with such a scumbag male lead.

"son."

Guan Qiaoyun turned off the TV and walked towards the bedroom:

"I'm going to the yoga room. Remember to water the flowers on the balcony."

"Yoga?"

Guan Ren is puzzled:

"Didn't you go there this morning? Why are you going again?"

"Well, just... a little extra practice..."

Guan Qiaoyun gave a vague and perfunctory reply.

……

Half an hour later.

Red Cat Yoga.

There are very few people doing yoga in the afternoon; most of those who come are people who missed class in the morning due to other commitments.

Guan Qiaoyun glanced around, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly.

Because his son's Chinese teacher, Gu Wancheng, also came.

……

Actually, the real reason Guan Qiaoyun wanted to practice extra was that in the morning, she noticed that Gu Wancheng, the only other outstanding student in the class besides herself, was working with exceptional focus and effort.

Anyway, he was in a very good state, like he was in deep meditation.

As a result, Guan Qiaoyun herself didn't do a very good job with some of the new moves, but Gu Wancheng did them very well.

Fun fact: For some intentional or inexplicable reason, Guan Qiaoyun and Gu Wancheng already had some kind of... mutual... relationship.

This has been going on ever since the two first met in the yoga studio.

Therefore, Guan Qiaoyun naturally couldn't sit still, so she specially came to practice extra in the afternoon.

……

However, Guan Qiaoyun did not expect that Gu Wancheng would also come to practice in the afternoon.

Tsk, what's up with this woman...?

"Is she seeing someone else?" Guan Qiaoyun thought to herself.

In reality, Gu Wancheng certainly didn't have a man.

However, the reason I'm particularly passionate about yoga today, when traced back to its origins, really stems from one of my male students…

The reason was that after chatting with an online friend last night, Gu Wancheng belatedly realized that some of the things she said and the emotions she expressed were really a bit too much.

I clearly decided to give up some inappropriate thoughts and forget some unnecessary obsessions after summer vacation...

But last night, while chatting with that person, she didn't know how...

In short, Gu Wancheng practiced yoga intensely today, hoping to calm her mind and clear away distracting thoughts.

Whether you say it or not, it still has an effect.

But it's not entirely true.

Gu Wancheng was puzzled to find that when she did certain movements, such as the splits or the cat pose, she not only couldn't calm her mind, but she also had more distracting and agitated thoughts...

--------

Meanwhile, at Guan Ren's home.

Guan Ren frowned, staring at the browser homepage on his computer screen, where a flashing animated ad title was displayed.

Did you know? Yoga and ballet both originated from... that kind of thing.

Below the title is a small blue pill and QQ contact information.

"..."

Guan Ren felt it was outrageous.

These kinds of risqué ads, usually only seen on smaller websites, actually appeared on their own homepage navigation site.

After a careful investigation, I discovered that I had been hijacked while browsing a pirated anime website online.

Guan Ren was too careless and forgot that it's still quite necessary to pay attention to network security these days.

Various viruses and dangerous websites can easily exploit loopholes, it's just much better than it was at the beginning of the century.

"Virus kill, virus kill..."

Guan Ren directly opened Kingsoft Antivirus and started a full system scan. The antivirus software was still pretty good at this point.

Fortunately, Guanren's computer performed well, and it didn't lag when scanning.

Guan Ren then opened Bilibili to find out what new anime series were coming out in October 2012.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!

From the New World

Psycho-Pass

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo (The Pet Girl of Sakurasou)

"Wow? So many classics this October?"

For example, the famous meme "[Celebrating the completion]" originated from "The Pet Girl of Sakurasou".

However, although they were all classics, Guan Ren was no longer interested in them.

Of course, since he had nothing else to do, Guan Ren considered whether he should visit Sakura-sou.

Even if you know the plot and tropes by heart, you can still look at the subtitles.

At that time, the resources on Bilibili were mostly from various amateur subtitle groups. Many of the subtitles were quite interesting, often using various emoticons, homophones, and internet slang to embellish them.

In trendy parlance, it's like "the subtitle group got mischievous," which is why subtitles are now a major part of the enjoyment of watching anime.

"what?"

However, Guan Ren soon stumbled upon another anime that piqued his interest even more, which was also a new anime released this month.

That is "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", the first TV anime in the JoJo series.

……

In his previous life, Guan Ren couldn't get into this "masterpiece" that many people talked about at first because of his unique expressiveness.

The explanation was vague, childish, and passionate.

It has some elements of Hong Kong comics, but not as aesthetically pleasing.

And a fight between a seemingly muscular, devilish man who looks very cool.

At that time, Guan Ren, like many veteran anime fans, was obsessed with the prevailing moe art style and harem themes, and dropped this work after only watching a minute or two.

It wasn't until much later, after being bombarded with jokes and references by JoJo fans, that Guan Ren decided to take a closer look and discovered the series' unique appeal.

……

So Guan Ren went downstairs, bought some beer, then bought some chicken feet from Sister Shui Rou, and petted Tuan Tuan and An Guo Guo for a bit before going home to enjoy life.

Unfortunately, this period of leisure did not last long.

After watching only one or two episodes, Guan Ren suddenly realized that something had happened to his novel.
