No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 303 Guan Qiaoyun's Little Jealousy

"No, sir, can you stop yelling like that...?"

Guan Ren glanced disdainfully at the wine that Grandpa Lin had sprayed on the ground:

"I remember two girls came to see me before, and you even joked that I had two girlfriends. Now you're acting all serious..."

"???"

Grandpa Lin laughed in anger, and flicked the rude young man on the forehead:

How the hell am I supposed to know you're serious?

"What?"

Guan Ren frowned:
"So you have no experience?"

"Nonsense! I've lived an honest and upright life! Do you think I'm like you? Trying to have your cake and eat it too at such a young age?"

"Then what am I talking to you about... Give me back my wine!"

Guan Ren was a little disappointed. He had often heard Grandpa Lin tease him, but he hadn't expected that Grandpa Lin was just joking and couldn't offer him any valuable advice.

"Is it really necessary? The wine and food are all there, why are you taking them back?"

Grandpa Lin rolled his eyes at Guan Ren, picked up a piece of pork belly from the hot pot with both pork belly and rabbit meat, and took a sip of wine:
"Since you're already here, let's chat a bit... So, tell me, which two girls have you got your eye on? Classmates?"

"I already said, they're the two who came to see me before, the ones you teased me about as my girlfriends..."

"..."

Grandpa Lin was speechless.

It turns out my words came true.

"So what's the situation between you and them now? Have you come clean?"

"No...or rather, it was only half-full."

"half?"

"Yes, now, one of them is my official girlfriend, and the other... well... we do things privately..."

Some things don't need to be said in full; those who understand, understand.

Guan Ren stammered and mumbled something for a while.

Grandpa Lin listened with a smile, his eyes gleaming with a keen desire to see what was going on.

ten minutes later.

"No, kid."

Grandpa Lin, like a seasoned strategist, began his sharp commentary:

"If you ask me, since you're so arrogant and want two girlfriends, why don't you just be honest with them? Wouldn't it be better to just talk things out?"

Guan Ren wanted to curse, but when he looked up, the old man was indeed smiling happily.

"Is it funny? I'm serious!"

"I'm serious too."

"Seriously!"

Guan Ren put down the wine:
"Are you trying to tell me that I can use my magical personal charm to tell two teenage girls who have never been in a relationship and whose relationship with each other is just so-so that I genuinely like them both and ask them to be my girlfriends, and then they will happily agree and the three of us can live happily together from then on?"

"That's really too rough."

Grandpa Lin shook his head and suggested:

"You also need to make it clear in advance that there will be no distinction between the two of you in terms of status, otherwise it will be easy to have conflicts after you get together."

"Stop eating! Give me back my wine!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Just kidding, kid, you're getting all worked up..."

"..."

Guan Ren was no joke.

But Mr. Lin also said:
“I’m not as arrogant as you, and I don’t have your kind of experience either, but… if I had to give you some advice right now, I would say I have two points.”

Guan Ren put down his chopsticks and stared at Grandpa Lin:
"Elaborate."

"First and foremost, learning should be the top priority."

"I know that."

"Not only you need to know, but they..."

"They know too!"

This was never something Guan Ren was worried about.

Firstly, both Gu Youli and Luo Xiaobei are intelligent girls who understand right from wrong.

Secondly, Guan Ren himself set an example by not neglecting his studies because of his relationship, which set a good example for the girls.

"Okay! Then I'll get straight to the second point!"

The old man squinted, patted Guan Ren on the shoulder, and said, slowly and deliberately:
"Okay, okay, okay, for them!"

"?"

Guan Ren was stunned:
"That's it?"

"That's it."

Grandpa Lin pouted:

"Otherwise, what do you expect me to say? You genuinely like both of them, but it's not a good time to be upfront about it right now. So why think so much? Just treat them well and that's all."

"..."

Grandpa Lin seemed to have said everything.

It's like he didn't say anything.

Guan Ren seemed to understand something.

It's like I didn't understand anything at all.

After a moment of silence, he stopped paying attention to the old man, finished his last sip of wine, and stood up.
"Never mind, I'm going home now. You can eat slowly, sir."

Guan Ren is gone.

There's still a little bit left in the dry pot.

There's still half a bottle of beer left.

Grandpa Lin enjoyed it all by himself.

Then, while I was enjoying my meal, I suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, something's not right. I seem to remember... I've seen three girls with you before?"

Two of them went into the residential area looking for Guan Ren. And the other one… it was a rainy day, and we passed by together, eventually heading towards Liuxing Road, right?

"Hiss...this kid..."

Grandpa Lin stared at the ceiling, frowning for a moment, then beaming with joy.

"Hehe, looks like there's more trouble to come~"

-----------

"Sister Qiaoyun, I'm back."

"What did you eat out this time?"

"Dry pot".

Guan Qiaoyun, who had just finished eating and was clearing the dishes, frowned immediately upon hearing this:
"If you want to eat this kind of thing again, I can still make it for you at home, right? I'll just buy some dry pot sauce, isn't it better than what you get outside?"

“It’s different. If I want to eat it, I’ll make it myself. That’s why I need to trouble you, Sister Qiaoyun.”

Guan Ren shook his head:

"The food itself is not important; the person eating it is what matters."

"people?"

Guan Qiaoyun's ears twitched, and her phoenix eyes lit up with a wary light:

"Who did you go to eat with? Guan Ren, I'm warning you, you're still young..."

"No."

Guan Ren was at a loss whether to laugh or cry:

"Sister Qiaoyun, where am I small?"

"Don't interrupt! If I say you're small, then you're small!"

So what if he's big? No matter how big he is, as long as he's still her son, he'll always be Guan Qiaoyun's little baby.

"You're young, and sometimes you can't resist temptation. What if you meet a bad woman or a bad man outside, and he puts something on you?"

"Don't worry, Sister Qiaoyun, I won't eat with bad women... and, well, I can resist temptation..."

Guan Ren thought for a moment and continued:
"After all, I have a girlfriend."

Bang!

A plate fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Guan Qiaoyun turned around in astonishment, her phoenix eyes trembling with disbelief.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Guan Ren had originally thought that since they had been talking for so long, he might as well just blurt out the matter.

He also guessed that Guan Qiaoyun would react.

But the reaction was bigger than I expected.

Seeing the plate shattered on the floor, he grabbed a few tissues, quickly squatted down, gathered up the small pieces, and gently swept away Guan Qiaoyun's soft heels and ankles that were sticking out of her plush slippers.

Especially since she was wearing the gray stockings she wore to work that morning, it wouldn't be good if some shavings got stuck in them and accidentally pricked her skin.

"You...you...when...no...her! Who is she?"

Although I knew my son would eventually face this day.

But when that day actually comes, it will be impossible.

After all, she had raised him herself, and now he was suddenly in the arms of a woman much younger than her. It was hard for Guan Qiaoyun not to feel a mix of emotions.

For example, a slight sourness.

For example, a little bit of grievance.

Even a tiny bit of... jealousy.

"Uh...actually she..."

Guan Ren stood up and rubbed his nose:
"Sister Qiaoyun, you know her too..."

Guan Qiaoyun swept the broken pieces on the ground with a broom, then looked up quietly:
"Is it that girl from the Luo family...?"

"..."

These words were like rubbing salt in the wound for Guan Ren at that moment.

"It's... Gu Youli."

"Eh?"

Guan Qiaoyun was taken aback for a moment, but then said nothing.

After all, both of these girls are indeed possibilities.

But Guan Qiaoyun still couldn't help but ask:

"So... what was Xiao Bei's reaction?"

"Her...her...sigh, Sister Qiaoyun, these are all my private matters, please don't ask about them."

歘!
"hehe!"

Guan Qiaoyun stopped what she was doing, slammed the broom on the ground, and her pretty face immediately darkened.

Along with that, the sense of grievance in her eyes seemed even more profound.

"Okay, you've only just started dating one girlfriend and you're already ignoring your mom, complaining that she's too controlling... If you date a couple more, I bet one day your girlfriends will make you eat your mom alive! You definitely won't care then!"

"Qiao... Mom! What kind of nonsense is this...?"

Guan Ren wanted to laugh but dared not.

This was the first time he had ever seen his mother show such a contradictory reaction.

On the one hand, she was still trying her best to maintain her mother's authority.

On the one hand, she acted like a spoiled little girl.

Perhaps this is also related to Guan Qiaoyun's completely blank personal romantic experience...

"By the way, you had dry pot for lunch, so eat something light for dinner. You're going to have a big feast tomorrow..."

"Wait a minute? Tomorrow? I'll eat at home tomorrow."

"What are you eating, you silly boy... Tomorrow is your birthday!"

"?"

Guan Ren was taken aback, then quickly calculated with his fingers.

Goodness, it really is October 18th of the new year again.
