No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 299 I want you

"Hey! Xiao Bei! Xiao Bei!"

"?!"

"What are you daydreaming about? I'm asking you if you want a big bowl or a small bowl."

"Oh...whatever."

"you!…"

It was afternoon after school, and Luo Xiaobei and her best friend Du Zihan were sitting in the [Veteran's Oil Tea] restaurant.

Luo Xiaobei stared blankly at the sunset for a long time, much to Du Zihan's displeasure.
"Hey, hey, hey, big sister, you're the one who asked me to come with you for oil tea, so put some effort into it, okay?"

"I'm sorry, I... I rarely come alone. I came twice before but I still wasn't used to it, so I asked you to come with me."

"???"

Du Zihan was shocked:
"So you've been to this place before?"

"Yes, I've been here before, it's delicious~"

Luo Xiaobei smiled sweetly, squeezed the chopsticks in her hand, and then slowly lowered her head in a daze:

"...It's the best-tasting..."

"Uh…"

Du Zihan's eyes darted around, and she asked in a low, suspicious voice:

"Your Highness, if I may be so bold as to ask, you said you rarely come alone, could it be that you were with Guan before... oh dear!"

Du Zihan was tapped on the head with chopsticks.

"Luo Xiaobei!"

"Who told you to gossip..."

Luo Xiaobei rolled her eyes at her and threw the disposable chopsticks into the trash can.

"Tsk, what a waste..."

"There's nothing I can do, it got on your hair oil."

"hehe."

Du Zihan smiled coldly on the surface, but secretly, while pretending to fix her hair tie, she touched her hair and smelled it.

hateful…

It seems there really is a bit...

She was a little resentful because Luo Xiaobei's hair never got oily.

Ugh…

How wonderful, a beautiful girl with no oily hair...

Hmph, such top-quality goods, and Guan Ren doesn't even know how to cherish them!

……

night.

"Mom, I'm back."

"Xiao Bei, have you had lunch this afternoon?"

"I've eaten."

"Oh, then..."

"I'm going inside first, Mom~"

"..."

Su Ping watched her daughter's retreating figure thoughtfully, tidied up the coffee table, and then went to the study and closed the door.

"Honey, do you think Xiao Bei has been alright lately?"

"thing?"

Luo Jianming, who was in front of the computer, turned around and adjusted his glasses:

"what's up?"

"Hey, all you do is stare at the computer all day! You don't care about Xiao Bei at all!"

"No, why don't I... I'm not working... Oh well, never mind."

Luo Jianming waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't argue with her; he wouldn't win anyway.
"What happened to Xiao Bei? And what was this period of time?"

"Actually... it's been quite a while, haven't you noticed? Starting from the end of summer vacation, she seemed a bit depressed every day."

"Her? Depressed and unhappy?"

Luo Jianming looked like he'd seen a ghost and shook his head repeatedly:
"impossible!"

"Believe it or not!"

Su Ping was too lazy to argue with her careless husband.

That's how he's been his whole life. If he had been even slightly more observant, he wouldn't have needed Guan Ren to help him with his work-related troubles.

"But recently, Xiao Bei has been much better..."

"See? I told you you were overthinking it."

"Bullshit! It's much better, but Xiao Bei seems to be thinking about something lately. She thinks about it while walking, she thinks about it while eating. This... this is clearly still a problem!"

Su Ping was a little anxious, but Luo Jianming told her not to rush:
"How can a child not be under pressure when they're in their final year of high school? When I was in school, if I couldn't solve a problem, I could be frowning for three days straight."

"That's because you're not smart! Xiao Bei takes after me, he's incredibly smart! Does he need so many days to figure out a problem?"

Luo Jianming's lips twitched:

"Anyway, don't overthink it. Right now, until the college entrance exam, as long as we don't put extra pressure on her and take good care of her food, clothing, and shelter, that's already the best we can do for her. If we interfere too much, she might become uneasy. If you're really worried, just observe for a while longer."

"Ugh…"

To be fair, Luo Jianming's words made sense, Su Ping sighed.
"That's the only way..."

……

In fact, Luo Xiaobei has indeed been thinking about problems lately.

However, the question in question is about Guan Ren.

All of this actually stemmed from a conversation she had with the "beautiful girl teacher" last week.

I think that even if she has a girlfriend, you shouldn't give up on pursuing your own happiness.

Luo Xiaobei's master's words kept echoing in his mind.

Indeed, only the first half of the sentence resonated.

As for the second half of the sentence…

If handled properly, your relationship with her and him might be able to coexist.

Hmph! He's clearly her childhood sweetheart, why should she share him with someone else? She doesn't want that… "Hoo…"

Luo Xiaobei, lying on the bed, hugged her pillow and looked at a photo of a little boy and a little girl together on the pillow. She let out a muffled sigh.

Why did this happen...?

Looking back now, the changes in circumstances have truly exceeded Luo Xiaobei's expectations.

First, he suddenly got a girlfriend.

Then, he kissed her and said he liked her.

Later, somehow, she secretly kissed Gu Youli twice more without his knowledge…

During this time, Luo Xiaobei felt like she was in those American cartoons, with a little angel and a little devil constantly nagging on either side of her.

Luo Xiaotian kept saying, "Gu Youli is a very good girl. She and Guan Ren are already a couple. How can you be a third party and interfere? That's really not good."

Then there was a "pop".

The little devil Luo slapped the little angel Luo across the face, making her cry in pain:

"No matter how good they are, they can't compare to you! From childhood to adulthood, who has been by Pighead's side? From childhood to adulthood, besides Sister Qiaoyun, who has cared about her the most!"

"But!"

Luo Xiaotai, the angel, covered her face and argued forcefully:

"No matter what, they're together now!"

"Then Guan Ren still kissed you?!"

The little devil Luo sneered, and with his tiny, thumb-sized foot, he stepped on the head of the little angel Luo:
"You and Guan Ren clearly like each other, the only thing missing is that you've never dared to confess. Gu Youli, who suddenly confessed, is the real 'cheating cat'!"

"No...no!"

Suddenly, a great holy light shone brightly on Luo Xiaotianshi's body.

"We're both girls, have you ever thought about Gu Youli's feelings...?"

Pfft—~
With a scream, Little Angel Luo suddenly vanished into thin air.

Because Luo Xiaobei himself grabbed her and squeezed her off.

"Correct!"

Luo the Little Devil gave Luo Xiaobei a wink and then disappeared.

Silence fell over the room.

After a long while, Luo Xiaobei looked up.

A resolute light, which had been absent for two or three months, shone in his eyes.

Yes, before that day, I had made up my mind that even if he had a girlfriend, I would wait until the day I could be with him.

Why is she so easily resigned to her fate now?
……

Drop drop-

"?"

Shortly after, Guan Ren, who was chatting with Xiao Lihua and Xiao Ningmeng on his computer and phone respectively, suddenly saw a profile picture flash.

[On the Riverbank: I know you're not asleep! Log in! Log in!]

Guan Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't even realize how silly his smile looked. He immediately threw away his phone and opened "Wenjian Online".

[Guan Guan Jujiu: I'm here! Voice chat is on!]

---------

The next day.

"Mom, what's for breakfast?"

"..."

Guan Ren was refreshed and in high spirits early in the morning.

In Guan Qiaoyun's words, "Ren'er is so cute~".

"Stir-fried eggs with chives and toast."

"Great! I love it! Thank you, the best mom in the world!"

As Guan Ren spoke, he gave Guan Qiaoyun a bear hug, leaving Guan Qiaoyun somewhat bewildered.

This little donkey…

How come you've gotten even stronger?
wrong!

Why...why are you being so silly?

Water has a source, trees have roots, and there's a reason why Guan Ren seems foolish.

Yesterday, I played games with Luo Xiaobei for the first time in a long time.

Guan Ren discovered that Luo Xiaobei had returned.

Every smile and frown of hers had a familiar feel to me.

Moreover, in order to verify whether she was forcing a smile and pretending to be calm.

Guan Ren even tentatively asked her about her thoughts on him and Gu Youli.

Then I heard her lower her voice, as if she were a little devil, and say:
"Even if you have ten thousand girlfriends... I'll always be your one and only childhood sweetheart!..."

This statement reassured Guan Ren.

Because finally, Luo Xiaobei has almost moved on from this incident.

……

However, Guan Ren's expectations still differed from the actual situation.

In Guan Ren's imagination, once Qingmei comes out of her shell, he will have the opportunity to gradually advance the relationship between her and Gu Youli, thus achieving the kind of beautiful situation he had hoped for from the beginning.

However, when Guan Ren arrived at school and was secretly led by Luo Xiaobei to an empty stairwell during the long break, he discovered that the situation was not as he had imagined.

"Ugh... Ugh! Xiao Bei, slow down, I... Ugh—?!"

“…~…”

After a sudden kiss, Guan Ren noticed that Luo Xiaobei's eyes were fixed intently on him:

"Benevolence…"

"Bei...Bei? What's wrong with you...?"

"Promise me one thing..."

Perhaps it was a sixth sense, but Guan Ren's heart skipped a beat:
"Wha...what's wrong?"

Luo Xiaobei blushed, then, as if to bolster her courage, she stood on tiptoe and gave her childhood sweetheart another firm kiss on the lips, before looking into his eyes and saying:
"Leave her, I want you."
