No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 307 Heartbeat
On the streets in autumn.

A young couple were just passing by.

But seemingly unintentionally, it has become a sight to behold in the eyes of some perceptive young girls.

……

Wow~ Look, look...

The girl holding the milk tea nudged her best friend with delight:

"...Look at that couple! The girl is so pretty, and the guy is so handsome!"

"anthomaniac…"

"How am I being a fangirl! Didn't you hear me complimenting the girl?"

"Trying to cover it up only makes it more obvious."

……

"Baby."

"..."

"Baby?"

"W-what happened...?"

Little Pear Blossom, clinging to her boyfriend's arm, shrank her pink face further into her puffy scarf.

feel…

It's like a little juicy radish that has come to life, afraid of being pulled away.

Guan Ren felt a surge of affection upon seeing this and reached out to poke her soft cheek.

"..."

Little Pear Blossom frowned and gave him a faint glare.

"Yo?"

Guan Ren just smiled:
"It's been so long, and you're still yelling at your boyfriend?"

"hehe."

Little Pear Blossom raised her chin and sneered, her horsetail whip swaying gently:

"I got angry, are you going to get angry back?"

She seemed very tough on the outside.

She unconsciously tightened her grip on his arm, as if afraid he would really yell at her or throw her away.

Seeing this, Guan Ren couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

He leaned down and kissed her hard on the ear, then, as she shyly looked up and glanced around, he reminded her:
"Actually, baby, all I wanted to say was, could you please stop pushing me?"

"?"

Gu Youli was taken aback, not understanding the meaning of those words.

Guan Ren turned to the side, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Gu Youli looked at it and then understood.

……

It turned out that Xiaolihua had been clinging to her boyfriend the whole way, and the more she clung to him, the more she couldn't help but lean against him.

Then, without realizing it, he kept pushing Guan Ren toward the side of the road.

It's not that she's particularly strong.

Guan Ren was led astray by her, and before he knew it, he kept going astray and ended up on the curb.

I almost bumped into trash cans and utility poles several times.

……

"Well, the scariest thing is that we almost crashed into a car outside."

"You...you stop talking!"

Little Pear Blossom was both embarrassed and surprised, and immediately let go of his arm.

But as soon as she loosened her grip, she couldn't bear to let go again. Her fingertips lingered on his forearm like delicate lotus roots, making Guan Ren chuckle. In the end, he took the initiative to wrap his arms around her slender waist and pull her fragrant body close to him.
"Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

"rogue…"

"Hey, what kind of talk is that? We're practically an old married couple."

"..."

Little Pear Blossom was too lazy to argue with him.

She simply tightened the navy blue canvas bag slung over her delicate shoulders.

"Baby."

Guan Ren also glanced at her bag again:
"Your bag looks heavy, let me help you carry it."

"Need not."

Gu Youli shook her head and tugged at the strap:
"It didn't contain much...it's not heavy."

"Ok."

"Guan Ren."

"Ok?"

"Why don't you... take the scarf back with you?"

"?"

It's still quite cold, isn't it? Especially since it's past noon, it's only going to get colder.

Guan Ren touched his cold nose, thought for a moment, and then it dawned on him:

"You're getting hot, aren't you?"

"Yes...yes!"

Gu Youli nodded decisively.

Guan Ren took the scarf off her neck and put it back on himself.

"..."

Gu Youli never brought it up again.

But every now and then she would lift her eyelids to steal a glance at her boyfriend's profile, making her heart pound.

……

Actually, Little Pear Blossom lied.

Although Xiaolihua felt that lying to her boyfriend was not a good thing...

Guan Ren definitely wouldn't like a girl who lies...

But it shouldn't be a problem to tell a few harmless little lies now and then, right?

So Gu Youli lied to Guan Ren, saying that she was too hot to wear a scarf.

But actually, she just always thought her boyfriend looked really handsome in a scarf, and she wanted to see him wearing one more time, so...

……

"Guan Ren, is that amusement park you mentioned far away?"

"It's not too far, but it's not too close either. After all, it's a newly developed area, close to the new district."

Actually, although it's called an amusement park, the area isn't very big. It's just one of the attractions in a large new riverside park. This was one of the main destinations for Guan Ren's birthday date today.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just... um... because I'm wearing new shoes, so I might get a little tired if I walk too far."

Gu Youli said with some concern.

Guan Ren's gaze followed the downward movement.

Following the two straight, slender legs exposed beneath her hem, encased in warm gray velvet tights, my gaze traveled down to the pair of dark brown suede ankle boots she was wearing.

Guan Ren couldn't help but sigh.

Even though they're the same type of ankle boots, they can look quite different on different girls.

For example, when Qingmei wears it, it makes her look even more playful and cute.

On the other hand, his girlfriend's feet were serene and elegant.

Of course, Guan Ren is not a picky eater.

Two kinds of feet...

Pooh!
Two types of boots…

Pooh!
I like both feelings!

"How about we just take a taxi there?"

Little Pear Blossom reached for her wallet as she spoke.

"do not!"

Guan Ren quickly stopped the young rich woman's extravagant behavior:
"There's no need for that. We can walk slowly and it won't be too tiring. And even if you get tired and your feet ache, I can massage them for you and all the discomfort will be gone."

Seeing Guan Ren's confident expression, Xiao Lihua was also very curious:

Are you very good at massage?

"No, I only know a little about it."

Guan Ren imitates Takeshi Kaneshiro's portrayal of Zhuge Liang in the movie "Red Cliff":
"Because I usually massage Sister Qiaoyun, I have some experience."

...In the end, just as Guan Ren had said, the two of them strolled along the riverbank, and time passed by unnoticed.

When they arrived at the amusement park, Little Pear Blossom didn't feel tired at all.

"Baby, are you sure you're not tired?"

"Yes."

Little Pear Blossom tiptoed and asked suspiciously:

"what happened?"

"Uh...it's nothing, it's nothing, everything's fine..."

Guan Ren rubbed his hands together, a hint of regret flashing across his face.

The two then tried out the pirate ship there.

Although it's not as thrilling as a proper amusement park.

However, it still makes people's adrenaline rise.

Before Xiao Lihua went up, she was calm and composed, saying that if Guan Ren dared to sit, she dared to do it too.

In reality, once she sat down, she didn't open her eyes at all, but instead buried herself in Guan Ren's arms like an ostrich and didn't move an inch.

Of course, afterward, she was less willing to admit her performance, blushing and pretending not to hear her boyfriend's teasing.

Next up are the unique projects found only in riverside cities.

Take a speedboat.

Put on your life jacket, board one of those small speedboats, and then cruise on the wide, natural river.

A single trip costs 20 yuan and takes about ten minutes.

The experience alone is quite remarkable.

Guan Ren even felt that it was better than his experience playing at the beach in Sanya during the Spring Festival last year, because there were fewer people, the staff did not rush him, and he did not have to worry about various pitfalls.

Little Pear Blossom was much more relaxed this time than when she rode the pirate ship.

It ostriched, but not completely.

He only buried half of it in Guan Ren's arms.

Occasionally, encouraged by him, she would straighten up to feel the whistling river wind, only to cry out and bury herself again when a splash of water suddenly hit her face.

However, whether it's a speedboat or a pirate ship.

Even though Little Pear Blossom was terrified, she held onto her canvas bag tightly.

This made Guan Ren slightly concerned.

But I didn't pay much attention to it.

After exploring the entire Xinbinjiang Park, the two checked the time and went into a restaurant.

It was here that Guan Ren finally understood what was in Xiao Lihua's canvas bag.

"Guan Ren."

Before serving the dishes, Gu Youli took a box out of her canvas bag and nervously handed it to Guan Ren:
Happy birthday! This is... my gift to you!

"Gift?"

Guan Ren opened his eyes wide.

He immediately scratched his head and grinned with delight.

This was something he certainly hadn't expected.

My girlfriend actually prepared a birthday present for me.

However, when Guan Ren opened the box, he was puzzled by what he saw inside.

"What...is this?"

Bluetooth speaker.

"..."

Bluetooth speaker…

Guan Ren recalled the misunderstanding when he called Xiao Lihua earlier that day.

It turns out that she was listening to music on her phone connected to a Bluetooth speaker at that time to test the gift.

To be honest, the design of this Bluetooth speaker is really hard to describe.

Not only was it surrounded by a cheap, transparent plastic shell that she thought was "mechanical" and "mecha-style," Gu Youli even earnestly explained that it had "cool lighting effects" when playing music.

Upon hearing this, Guan Ren immediately conjured up an image in his mind of a cheap knock-off phone surrounded by a ring of flamboyant, edgy-style LED lights…

"Baby, where did you buy this?"

"Online."

To be precise, this was the first item that came up when Gu Youli searched for "birthday gifts for boys" online.

Although Gu Youli herself couldn't understand this.

But what if the boy actually likes it?

After all, the product description said it was very mechanical and had a high-tech feel.

Someone in the comments even said, "My boyfriend cried when he received it!"

So Gu Youli decisively took it down.

"Hmm... how much?"

"It's not expensive, 299."

"..."

With a cost of 29 yuan, is the boss making a profit of 270 yuan with tears in his eyes...?

Guan Ren was unaware of the spending levels of middle school students in other places in 2012.

In Jiangzhou County, a small county in southwestern China, a birthday gift of 299 yuan is considered quite valuable.

This young rich woman…

She really doesn't feel the pinch when spending money on her boyfriend...

A soft, bitter smile appeared on Guan Ren's lips.

Little Pear Blossom was still earnestly introducing things to Guan Ren:
"Try pressing here."

She pointed to a small switch next to a power source.

Guan Ren pressed it.

There was a line of crystal lettering on the speaker, which lit up when the switch was pressed, flashing in a colorful, marquee-like pattern.

Guan Ren looked closely and saw that it said:

[Let your lover's music touch your heart]

"..."

"Guan Ren..."

Little Pear Blossom remained tense and asked in a low voice:
"So? Do you...do you like it...?"

"Um...I...Pfft—Hahaha!"

"?"

Guan Ren couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

He was amused by the speaker's strangely tacky yet adorably tacky style.

Gu Youli didn't understand what he was laughing at, and looked both confused and adorable.

Until Gu Youli frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, and even seemed to be pouting.

Guan Rencai gradually suppressed his smile and asked:
"So, you're giving me this because you want to make me fall for you?"

"..."

Gu Youli was a little embarrassed and refused to speak.

"Yuri, do you like me?"

"?"

Guan Ren suddenly asked a seemingly pointless question, which startled Gu Youli.
"Of course."

"Then tell me."

"..."

I don't know what's wrong with him, but Gu Youli said:

"Guan Ren, I... like you."

"Ah."

Guan Ren smiled slightly and took her hand:

"From now on, whenever you want to make my heart flutter, all you need to do is say 'I like you,' and that will be enough."

……

Night had completely fallen.

The moonlight shone through the window, and soft, watery light shimmered in Little Pear Blossom's eyes.

At that moment, she vaguely felt...

If the boy in front of you had a gentler gaze, the moon might melt.

And she, too, is like the moon.
