No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 317 Another Winter Vacation

"Guan... Guan Ren..."

"Ah."

"I want...I want to go home..."

I don’t know how much time passed.

Lying on the bed, Guan Ren looked down at Qingmei, who had slumped into a heap in his arms, and asked in confusion:

What to play?

"Mind your own business? Humph!"

"..."

I was just saying she was soft, but the moment I asked her a question, she immediately started baring her teeth and claws.

Seeing that Guan Ren didn't react, the little white tiger tooth took a bite out of his arm.

"Are you a zombie?"

"correct."

Luo Xiaobei wiped the drool left on his wrist, then disgustedly wiped it on his body:

"So I'm going to turn you into a zombie too."

"Then change Sister Qiaoyun too."

"Oh, and Gu Youli too, right?"

"cough…"

Guan Ren took over, first wiping the saliva off her wrist.

This enraged Luo Xiaobei:
"You actually dislike my saliva!"

"Hey, you were complaining about it yourself just now, weren't you?"

"Pooh!"

Luo Xiaobei didn't care.

Of course she can dislike herself.

But how could Guan Ren change his expression so quickly?
Just a moment ago, they were really enjoying eating that little tongue...

But in the blink of an eye, they started to dislike the plum's saliva!
"I knew I should have turned you into a zombie, huh."

She muttered to herself, then let out a loud "owl" and bit his wrist again.

This time, Guan Ren didn't wipe away the small teeth marks left on his wrist; instead, he just stared at them and grinned foolishly.

"What...are you doing?"

Luo Xiaobei waved her little hand in front of him suspiciously.

At the same time, I'm a little worried.

Childhood sweethearts are already pretty weird.

Could it be that he's developing some new perverted fetish while biting himself?
"Here."

However, Guan Ren only showed her the ring of small teeth marks on his wrist:

"Familiar?"

"What..."

"My first watch when I was a child was given to me by you like this."

We were all young then.

Guan Ren seemed to enjoy it quite a bit.

He even asked Luo Xiaobei to change his style every few days.

One time, when Luo Xiaobei didn't come to kindergarten, Guan Ren found another little girl to bite his watch.

After Luo Xiaobei found out the next day, she ignored Guan Ren for a long time.

He didn't speak a single word to that little girl he already had little interaction with, until she graduated from kindergarten.

Ok…

Speaking of which…

This situation is somewhat similar to that of Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli now.

Although the two girls didn't have much interaction before.

But ever since Guan Ren and Gu Youli started dating, they seem to have had even less contact.

They avoid each other as long as they can avoid speaking to each other.

It's not that they dislike each other.

However, once the two parties communicate too much, they will each have their own reasons for feeling that the atmosphere is strange.

To be honest, if this happened in the first or second year of high school, it would definitely become a major topic of discussion and gossip in the class.

However, now they are in their final year of high school.

Therefore, many people, especially girls, were aware of the subtle atmosphere between Luo Xiaobei and Gu Youli, as well as between Luo Xiaobei and Guan Ren.

But no one had the extra energy to investigate further.

Instead of wasting time gossiping, you should memorize more formulas and vocabulary, or do more practice tests.

……

"Ren-ge, explain this problem to me."

"Hmm, let me see... Hmm? Liu Xiong? You're going to rise up! Go for Tsinghua or Peking University?"

"Damn it! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

……

It goes without saying that school spirit is very important for a school.

Similarly, the class atmosphere is also very important in a class.

Those previously unruly students, who could never be reasoned with before, finally began to reflect and realize their mistakes as their classmates entered exam preparation mode one by one.

As a result, the four people who were once known as the "Three Phantom Gods" began to "abandon darkness and embrace light" after Guan Ren, and gradually this title was forgotten.

Of course, "abandoning darkness for light" is not the only option.

Some people, especially those whose futures had already been planned by their families—whether they were going to do business or learn a skill—remained indifferent and became one of the few in the class who still joked around all day. To be fair, these kinds of people occasionally added a splash of color to the tense and dull senior year environment.

……

In short, it was in such an environment that Guan Ren experienced the fleeting nature of time.

Especially compared to others, Guan Ren not only had to study for exams, but also had to write.

"Sigh...why is there only 24 hours in a day..."

Of course, Guan Ren didn't give up on love either.

However, both he and Xiaolihua are very self-disciplined people.

Especially Guan Ren.

After all, Guan Ren had experienced the senior year of high school and the college entrance examination once, and because he had some spare money, he didn't have too much uncertainty or anxiety about the future.

Therefore, he cared more about his girlfriend's well-being than himself, and always set a good example for Gu Youli in her life and studies. Not only did their relationship not affect her studies, but it also became a positive influence.

For example, an encouraging kiss after studying all night.

Or a relaxing kiss after a stressful monthly exam.

Or perhaps it's a regular date every weekend.

These dates vary in size.

For casual dates, go out for a nice meal together, like a hot pot of mutton soup on a chilly night.

A rich mutton soup, with a few crisp and sweet pea shoots.

Sometimes when I get tired of hot pot, I'll have a plate of twice-cooked mutton.

Or lamb sausage, sauerkraut and lamb blood, or something like that.

Little Pear Blossom also experienced what it means to have small moments of happiness.

It turns out that being with someone you like, even just indulging in a little treat together on a winter night, can be so joyful.

As for big dates.

It was really just going out to see a movie.

……

On December 12, 2012, "Lost in Thailand" was released.

Bo Zheng and his partner are also Guan Ren's favorite on-screen duo.

On December 20, 2012, "CZ12" was released.

As the final installment in the Asian Eagle series, Jackie Chan's original statement that it was "the last big-budget production he worked so hard for" was misrepresented by the media as "his last movie." Fortunately, the final quality lived up to the media hype.

On December 21, 2012, the legendary Mayan doomsday arrived.

To Guan Ren's surprise, Xiao Lihua, who should have been indifferent to such nonsense, actually had insomnia that day and sent him a text message late at night asking what to do if the end of the world really happened.
On December 22, 2012, everyone safely passed the so-called doomsday.

Nine days later, 2013 arrived.

……

My New Year's Day in my senior year of high school was quite uneventful.

For many senior high school students, it's an even more tense countdown, or even a death sentence.

Like many others, Guan Ren simply ignored it as an ordinary day.

The only thing that could be considered festive, besides the Dehuas on the streets starting to thaw, was buying a Want Want gift pack for Anguoguo.

Another month passed, and then winter vacation began.

"This is your last winter break in high school!"

Li Min was very serious on the podium:
"Take a break! Make sure it's appropriate! Go back and think about how to use this holiday to make a final push and overtake others! In six months, you'll reach a crucial crossroads in your lives!..."

These are all things I've heard countless times before.

When students leave school for holidays, the senior year students are noticeably quieter than other grades.

Some people even looked anxious and depressed because of their recent monthly exam results, completely losing the joy they used to have when they had holidays.

Guan Ren was naturally very calm.

Walking down the street, holding my phone, I leisurely browsed the new anime series that premiered in January 2013.

I feel that the batch of animations released at the beginning of 13 were just average.

Anyway, Guan Ren isn't interested in idol-themed content, so he doesn't watch "Love Live!", and only knows the memes of "Nico Nico Nico" and "If xx has a color, it must be color x".

Guan Ren wasn't really a fan of Kyoto Animation.

Especially original animation.

So I wasn't really interested in "Tamako Market" which aired in the same season.

As for sequels like "Haganai Season 2" and "Seitokai no Ichizon Season 2," let's just say they're sequels to the masterpieces; I can watch them when I have time.

The crucial point is that Guan Ren just happened to see on the Bilibili homepage that Xueku Subtitles Group had released the latest episode of "My Girlfriend and Childhood Friend's Tragic Love Triangle".

"..."

This name…

Guan Ren's eyelids twitched as he watched.

After watching the first episode, I couldn't continue and immediately posted a sharp comment in the comments section:
[You idiot director! Do you have a girlfriend and childhood sweetheart? You've just drawn some things based on assumptions!]

"Guan Ren."

"?"

Just after I finished posting, I heard Xiaolihua's voice from behind.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"Can I come to your house for dinner again in a couple of days?"

"Sure, but..."

Guan Ren found it somewhat strange:
"Isn't Teacher Gu's cooking skill pretty good now?"

"no."

Gu Youli shook her head:

“My sister is going to the provincial capital in a couple of days. Hmm... it’s about time she went too... she hasn’t seen her mother for many years.”
