No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 316 Guan Ren's Sophistry

squeak-

When the door opened, Luo Xiaobei's pretty face was there.

Exquisitely fair-skinned and incredibly cute.

as always.

"I'm coming."

"Ah...um..."

However, Luo Xiaobei's face no longer showed the sweet smile with her little tiger teeth that she used to have when she came to the house.

Plain and uneventful, without joy or sorrow.

She's practically as delicate as a pear blossom in front of strangers.

With her little hands behind her back, her pigtails swaying gently, and her big, bright eyes darting around, she casually peered into the room.

"Lady Bei..."

"Hmm? Why are you being so secretive?"

"Why do you seem to be in a bad mood...?"

"No."

Luo Xiaobei pouted:
"generally."

"But you were always cheerful when you came here before."

"Oh, so it's abnormal if I'm not happy?"

"That's not true..."

"Isn't that okay?"

Luo Xiaobei ignored him.

The past was before and the present is now.

In the past, when Luo Xiaobei visited Guan Ren's house, she thoroughly enjoyed the carefree time she spent with her childhood sweetheart, and was naturally very happy.

But things are different now; my childhood sweetheart has a girlfriend.

In comparison, the phrase "a world for two" is clearly more suitable for him and his girlfriend.

Luo Xiaobei naturally found it difficult to be happy.

Well…

Luo Xiaobei is having a hard time…

Yes, I might as well change my name to Luo Xiaonan!

Luo Xiaobei was amused by the pun that suddenly popped into her head, and she smiled slightly, her eyebrows and eyes curving into crescents, which Guan Ren happened to catch.

Guan Ren couldn't help but sigh, perhaps there really aren't many girls in the world like Luo Xiaobei, whose smiles are so beautiful.

……

Although many people like to say "You look so beautiful when you smile" when praising women or when lovers are being affectionate.

But in reality, most of them are just so-so.

Some are even the opposite, belonging to the category of "looks really funny".

Only a girl like Luo Xiaobei truly has an exceptionally cute and beautiful smile. When she smiles, it seems to infect other people's emotions as well.

From this perspective, Luo Xiaobei, like An Ning, is a genuine healing-type girl.

However, An Ning heals with gentleness.

Luo Xiaobei heals with her smile.

……

"Where's the stuff?"

"Here, a sausage and some bacon."

Luo Xiaobei glanced at it and blinked:

"Could you change it?"

"What to change?"

"Replace the cured pork with your pig's trotters."

"..."

Guan Ren remained silent, but still reached out his hand.

"Are you stupid?"

Luo Xiaobei couldn't help but laugh and roll her eyes at him:
"I was telling you about the cured pig's trotters you made! My mom really likes them."

"oh oh."

Guan Ren went to get it.

"Give."

"..."

Seeing her childhood friend simply hand her the bag, Luo Xiaobei's face fell slightly. She took it without hesitation, turned around, and left.

"Hey! You...you're leaving already?"

"if not?"

Luo Xiaobei turned her head slightly and stared at him intently:
"You've given me everything, weren't you supposed to be seeing the guest out..."

"Oh! Where is it?"

Guan Ren smiled wryly, having to admit that he had been a little stunned just now.

"It's quite cold. Come sit in my room for a while. I'll pour you a drink. What would you like to drink?"

Luo Xiaobei shifted her feet slightly; Guan Ren's house had tiled floors, and it was indeed a bit cold.

"What do you have?"

Would you like some soy milk?

"I want~"

……

The essential item for keeping warm in autumn and winter must be a beverage with a relatively thick consistency.

For example, corn juice.

Black sesame paste.

But Guan Ren's favorite is soy milk.

After making a cup of soy milk, Guan Ren brought it into the bedroom and saw Luo Xiaobei already sitting on the bed, gently stroking her burgundy flannel mini-skirt and tucking her little feet, encased in cotton gray pantyhose, into Guan Ren's bed.

"Get down quickly, aren't you afraid of getting dirty?"

"No problem."

Luo Xiaobei shook his head.

This isn't the first time he's been to this pigsty; if he wanted to complain, he would have complained long ago.

"I wasn't talking about myself."

Guan Ren placed the soy milk on the desk:
“I change my sheets and blankets very often. I just changed this set this morning, and it’s clean. I mean, take your dirty little hooves out.”

Luo Xiaobei was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then her face flushed red, and she raised her chin indignantly:

"You...you're the little slut!"

"?"

What's going on in this little brain of his?

"What nonsense are you spouting? I'm talking to you, you little filthy hooves."

"Oh…"

Luo Xiaobei stopped blushing.

Exactly... If I had to say, the person who rose to the top because of being the classmate is the real slut...

She secretly grumbled to herself.

He belatedly realized what was happening and grabbed a pillow, throwing it at her.
"You're talking nonsense! My hooves aren't dirty at all!"

"Hard to say, it's not just dirty, it might even be passable~"

Guan Ren mimicked her speech with a grin, caught the pillow she threw at him, and pretended to sniff it warily:
"You didn't drool this time, did you?"

"you!…"

That wretched childhood sweetheart! Bringing up that again!

Luo Xiaobei felt the temperature on her cheeks rising. She moved her little buttocks from side to side closer and raised her little foot to step on Guan Ren's face, but Guan Ren blocked it with a pillow.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop fooling around!"

"Are you making a scene or am I making a scene?"

"Uh... everyone's making a fuss, hehe..."

But to be honest, after such a long-awaited commotion, once the initial shame and indignation subsided, Luo Xiaobei looked at Guan Ren's smirk, snorted, turned her head away, and couldn't help but secretly purse her lips into a smile.

Indeed, she and he were inseparable childhood sweethearts...

The kind where they fight at the head of the bed but make up at the foot.

"Here, the soy milk is cold."

"It's no use, I'd rather my heart be cold."

Why are you so heartbroken...?

"You're bullying me... Humph, having a girlfriend really changes things. There's an old saying: 'With a wife, you forget your mother; with a girlfriend, you forget your childhood sweetheart...'"

"..."

Luo Xiaobei started talking nonsense again.

Before he got a girlfriend, Guan Ren was always exasperated by her nonsense.

I'm still helpless now.

But after not hearing her like this for a long time, Guan Ren realized that he had long since come to like this part of her as well.

He loved everything about Luo Xiaobei.

Ok…

Including those restless little feet, rubbing against the sheets...

"Aren't your feet cold? Let me warm them up for you."

Guan Ren moved a stool to the edge of the bed and patted his knees.

"..."

Luo Xiaobei blinked and glanced at him, her little face blushing slightly again.

This perverted childhood friend...

Ugh…

Fine, if he's a pervert, then so be it.

Who told him to be Guan Ren?

Luo Xiaobei has loved this boy for everything since she was a child.

So she gently tapped her round, soft heels against his knees, her toes curling slightly with a hint of shyness as she placed them in his arms, and then her small, delicate feet were suddenly grasped by his large hands.

"Mmm...~..."

"?"

"You...you stop pinching me, it tickles..."

In fact, Guan Ren couldn't help himself either.

Because lately he has only been able to experience the richness of mature women.

Now that I can finally experience the freshness of youth again, I'm a little impatient.

The sweet fragrance of green plums is mixed with the warm cotton scent of thick tights.

From the soles to the toes, her feet were filled with the softness and tenderness unique to girls of this age.

It was as if Guan Ren was strolling down the street and stumbled upon a bakery slowly baking pastries, making his mouth water.

"Oh, I already said it itches, but you still... let go, I won't give in anymore..."

Luo Xiaobei felt something was amiss and simply shrank back.

"?"

Guan Ren saw that the duck he was about to eat had flown away, and he quickly regretted it and tried to catch it again.

Luo Xiaobei scurried further into the bed.

"Didn't we agree not to cause trouble?"

"You started this again... Hey! Get away! I'll stomp on your pig head!"

"hiss…"

"Hmph! Don't pretend, I just stepped on it lightly... Hey! You're cheating!"

……

Before they knew it, the two of them were chasing and playing around like elementary school students.

"No... go away, I'm not coming, I'm not coming..."

When they finally stopped, Luo Xiaobei was panting heavily, while Guan Ren had a slight smile on his face.

As their heartbeats gradually calmed down, Guan Ren and Luo Xiaobei realized at the same time that they were lying face to face on the same pillow.

Luo Xiaobei's sweet breath, due to the temperature difference, was slightly moist as it blew out, brushing very close to Guan Ren.

Guan Ren's slightly watery eyes also reflected Luo Xiaobei's image.

"..."

As a result, Luo Xiaobei's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, seemed to start racing again.

Then, at the moment Guan Ren began to approach.

Luo Xiaobei hurriedly raised her hands and gently pressed them against his chest.

"do not want!"

"..."

“Until…you make that choice, let’s not continue like this…it’s unfair to her, and it’s unfair to me too…”

Luo Xiaobei bit her lip, trying hard not to blink, afraid that if she blinked even a little too much, the tears would fall again.
"...Guan Ren...I like you, but I don't want to be...be a mistress..."

It's hard to say that word.

So much so that with each additional word spoken, Luo Xiaobei felt as if a needle was piercing deeper into her heart.

Guan Ren could understand Qingmei's heart.

So he pressed his lips against her soft, tender lips even more decisively.

"!"

After separating a moment later, Luo Xiaobei's eyes glistened with disbelief:
"You!...Are you even listening to me?!"

"Have."

Guan Ren nodded, looking into her eyes:

"So from now on, I will never let you kiss me, but I will kiss you. If this is a sin, then you and Yuri are victims, and only I am the sinner."

Luo Xiaobei was shocked:
"You...you're just arguing...huh!?..."

"..."

"……~"
