No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 308 Are you asleep?
squeak-

Click…

"Young pear?"

"!"

"Yuri? You're back?"

"Mmm...mmm, sister..."

That evening, her younger sister returned home without a word, almost startling Gu Wancheng, who thought a bad guy had broken in.

"have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Oh…"

"Oh, right, sister, here's your clothes back."

"..."

Gu Youli's behavior was somewhat secretive. After handing the trench coat to her sister, she hurriedly returned to her bedroom.

Gu Wancheng didn't pay much attention to her sister's unusual behavior.

When the warm trench coat was tucked into her arms, Gu Wancheng felt a strange, inexplicable feeling.

……

Rustling…

Rusty…

At the same time, Little Pear Blossom in the bedroom also hurriedly suppressed her shyness and took off a small triangular piece of cloth that was still warm and damp.

"Tsk...again..."

It turns out.

Since discovering the new continent last time, Xiaolihua has decided to wear regular clothes every time she goes on a date with Guanren, instead of the anti-exposure style recommended by her sister. This decision is correct.

Right now, Gu Youli's cheeks were warm, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and she stared at the pool of transparent sugar water on the cloth. Her eyes were watery, but she inadvertently recalled the several deep kisses she had with her boyfriend tonight.

And things that haven't happened before...

The novel experience of his large hands roaming over my waist and back during the kiss...

Little Pear Blossom only found out then.

So this is what it feels like to kiss someone while being touched in other ways...

In short, Gu Youli crumpled the piece of cloth into a ball, then tiptoed to the bathroom to take a shower first, and then used the excuse of showering to throw the underwear she had taken off into the washing machine.

squeak-

She carefully pushed open the bedroom door, intending to see if her sister was in the living room.

"?"

To his surprise, he found his sister sitting on the sofa, and then…

Then, for some reason, she seemed to bury her face in the trench coat she was wearing...?
Snapped!
"!?"

"?!"

Lost in thought for a moment, Gu Youli loosened her grip on the doorknob.

The doorknob snapped back with a loud thud.

Gu Wancheng, who was on the sofa, suddenly raised her pretty face, looking flustered.

Upon seeing her younger sister's face peeking out from the doorway, for a fleeting moment, she instinctively wanted to hide the trench coat she was holding behind her back.

But when she noticed the innocent and clear confusion in her younger sister's eyes...

I feel guilty about it...

Gu Wancheng felt a sudden sense of relief wash over her…

His hand immediately paused, and his expression became calm and composed.
"Is something wrong, Yuri?"

"Ah, I...I'm going to take a shower."

"Oh."

Gu Wancheng responded, then stood up, lifted the trench coat, shook it, tidied it up, and took it to the master bedroom.

"..."

Watching her sister's disappearing figure, Gu Youli sighed helplessly.

……

She was confident that she had worn her sister's clothes on her date today and had been very careful throughout, so she hadn't picked up any unpleasant smells like cigarette smoke.

And what my sister did just now…

Clearly, he probably didn't mind that his clothes had Guan Ren's scent on them.

……

My sister is really something, is it really necessary...?

Xiaolihua clearly thought her boyfriend smelled quite nice.

That mixture of soap and sandalwood-scented laundry detergent, with an indescribable scent of boyish hormones, always made Xiaolihua feel quite at ease.

Of course, as the saying goes, "love is blind."

Therefore, Gu Youli also understood that she was probably the only one who could like Guan Ren's taste, while her older sister probably wouldn't get it.

After all, Guan Ren is her boyfriend, not her sister's.

However, that's not the point at the moment.

The key point is that after her sister went back to her bedroom, Gu Youli was able to take out the panties she had hidden behind her back. After quickly going to the bathroom, she first wet the whole pair with water to cover up the obvious marks in the middle before putting them in the washing machine.

------------

Wow…

Turn on the tap, and steam carrying the scent of a young girl fills the bathroom.

Little Pear Blossom stood under the shower with her eyes closed, still savoring the memories of today's date.

Especially, she vaguely felt that her boyfriend seemed to be getting gentler towards her, and the affection in his eyes grew stronger every time he looked at her.

“Guan…Ren…” After a long while, Xiaolihua slowly opened her eyes.

A hand, without my noticing, was placed on my heart.

The mist in her eyes was indistinguishable as either steam or something else.

For the first time without any apparent reason, I felt a slightly forceful stream of water from the showerhead hitting my skin, which felt ticklish yet quite relaxing and pleasant. This strangely resonated with the happiness I felt thinking of Guan Ren at that moment…

So much so that, almost as if possessed, she took the showerhead off, wanting to examine it.

The first time I picked it up, my fingertips were slippery, probably because of the shower gel, and I couldn't hold it properly, so I accidentally dropped the shower head on the ground.

……

Click!

The metal showerhead slammed onto the tiled floor, the sound traveling directly through the quiet living room to Gu Wancheng's equally quiet bedroom.

"?!"

Gu Wancheng was lying on her side on the bed with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyelids half-closed, and her long, thick eyelashes drooping. She was lost in thought when the noise startled her. She immediately got up and stared nervously at the light coming through the crack in the door.

"..."

After confirming that nothing was wrong, she still seemed a little uneasy about something.

So she grabbed the water glass from the bedside table, gently opened the door, and went to the kitchen to get some water.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her sister was still taking a shower in the bathroom while passing by.

However… there is a rather strange detail.

That's the sound of running water in the bathroom, sometimes in bursts.

At the same time, there were also intermittent, faint humming sounds...

"..."

So, my sister, who's always been as aloof as I am, hums little tunes while taking a bath...

It seems my sister's date with him today went perfectly...

Gu Wancheng bit her rosy lips almost imperceptibly, quickened her pace back to the bedroom, lay back down on the bed, and her almond-shaped eyes flickered with complex emotions in the night.

then…

continue…

He hugged the trench coat his sister had worn on her date with him today tightly to his chest...

---------

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

When Guan Ren returned home that night, he didn't forget his promise to Luo Xiaobei to play games.

"Huh? So many materials? When did you collect them?"

"Just type it whenever you're free. Okay, take it, consider it your birthday present this year."

Guan Ren was pleasantly surprised that Luo Xiaobei had accumulated so many materials for crafting equipment, even though he had barely played during his senior year of high school.

"Hey, this is good~ North, thank you."

"You...you shouldn't do this, I'm not used to it..."

"How about I give you something from the game when it's your birthday this year?"

"Tch...you didn't even send one last year..."

"Last year was due to force majeure."

Luo Xiaobei's birthday usually falls during the Chinese New Year.

Last year during the Spring Festival, she, like Guan Ren, went on a trip with her parents, so she also spent her birthday away from home.

"But when I came back from Sanya, didn't I give you that stone? It was actually a birthday present for you."

"Come on, that piece of junk doesn't think it can fool a tourist like you. Who cares? I threw it away a long time ago."

"Huh? You threw it away?"

"correct."

"Tsk, what a pity. The stone may not be valuable, but my quatrain is a masterpiece."

"啕~"

He even had the nerve to mention his doggerel.

Luo Xiaobei found it somewhat amusing.

While laughing, he took out an unremarkable stone from the deepest part of the drawer.

[Stones bring good fortune, academic success is assured, childhood sweethearts, a sweet and loving relationship.]

The girl's delicate fingertips glided lightly across the engraving, lingering on "Childhood Sweethearts" for a long time, before Guan Ren's voice rang out in her earphones again.

"Alright, I'm going to sleep now. I'm quite tired from going out to eat with Gu today."

"Hmm... Go on, you pig-head..."

"Good night."

"Good night…"

After hanging up the call, Luo Xiaobei put the stone back into the deepest part of the drawer, and stared blankly at the ground, resting her face in her hands.

……

Ding-dong-

"Ok?"

Guan Ren, who was just about to go to sleep, suddenly received a text message on his phone.

"Still up so late?"

When it comes to text messaging, the first thing that comes to Guan Ren's mind is naturally Little Lemon.

However, when he picked up his phone, he was astonished to find that it was a message from a Chinese language teacher containing three words:

【have you slept? 】
