No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 322 I'm here to see you today

In the bedroom, Guan Ren sat cross-legged on a chair, eating cucumber-flavored potato chips while watching "Game of Thrones".

But whether it was because he had seen it before or because he was tired of the explicit content of American TV shows, Guan Ren kept yawning while watching.

While Guan Ren was yawning, the little devil was messing around with several naked women without any filters.

Then Guan Qiaoyun suddenly appeared.

"Son, what about that thing you guys... huh?!"

This time, it's no wonder they didn't knock.

Instead, Guan Ren himself had left the door slightly ajar, and Guan Qiaoyun pushed it open as soon as she knocked.

Then she immediately bit her red lips and turned her pretty face away, her delicate eyebrows furrowing:
"You...how could you do this again..."

"no no!"

Guan Ren quickly dragged the progress bar to explain:

"Sister Qiaoyun, this is a proper TV series."

"Pah! What kind of serious TV drama is this?"

"Oh my god, look!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Guan Qiaoyun slowly turned her head.

Seeing that the screen was clean, his brows finally relaxed slightly.

But her phoenix eyes still held anger as she coldly rebuked:

"You're not allowed to watch these unhealthy TV dramas anymore!"

"Okay, sure."

Guan Ren nodded like pecking at rice.

Actually, he didn't really look at it; he just randomly picked a place that dispenses potato chips.

After all, Guan Ren had absolutely no urge to watch this poorly-ended drama a second time.

"So what's up, Sister Qiaoyun?"

Guan Ren winks, good boy.jpg
"Um... what was it again..."

Guan Qiaoyun gently rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and then her eyes lit up:
"Oh, I wanted to ask why your teacher, Ms. Gu, hasn't been to yoga class these past couple of days. Is her membership expired and she's not coming anymore?"

"No, she went to the provincial capital these past two days."

"Tch, fine then..."

Guan Qiaoyun left in disappointment.

"..."

Guan Ren shook his head with a bitter smile.

My mother is really like a little girl in some ways.

However… after learning that Gu Wancheng had returned last night, but then being unable to see her the next day because she was not at school for winter break… this strange feeling also gave Guan Ren a strange emotion.

----------

On the other hand, within the teachers' community.

dong dong dong.

"Sister, are you awake?"

"Young pear..."

"Yes, I'm going to Xinhua Bookstore to read some books."

"Okay, I got it."

The sound of the security door closing came from outside, and Gu Youli went out.

Gu Wancheng, who had slept in all day, had just gotten up.

The bus ride from the provincial capital to Jiangzhou County was very bumpy. When Gu Wancheng got home last night, she wanted to take a shower but found that the water was cut off. In the end, she had no choice but to go to the house of an elderly retired teacher across the street, get a basin of water, wash her face and brush her teeth, and finally wipe away the dust of the journey so that she could finally fall asleep peacefully.

Well…

It's strange...

Why does our water bill seem to be going up faster and faster over the past six months?

Although Gu Wancheng herself had been criticized by her sister before, she spent a lot of money just washing her hands while cooking a meal.

But later, Gu Wancheng paid special attention and tried not to be so obsessive about cleanliness when cooking, yet the water bill at home still gradually increased.

It even rose faster.

Although her family wasn't short of money, the inexplicable increase still made Gu Wancheng feel strange.

"what…"

Suddenly, Gu Wancheng thought of something.

That means the increase in water bills may not affect me much.

On the contrary, he has a closer relationship with his younger sister, Gu Youli.

Gu Wancheng looked back and realized that her younger sister had been taking baths more and more frequently over the past six months.

And each time, the shower time also increased.

Logically speaking, it wasn't like she was taking a bath; it was just a shower. Even as a woman herself, Gu Wancheng felt that her sister was taking a little too long to shower…

Of course, it's also possible that my sister is currently seeing a man...

"..."

My train of thought was deliberately cut off.

Gu Wancheng took a deep breath and stretched.

First, sit down at the dressing table and start fixing your hair.

The winter sun shone on Gu Wancheng's cool and bright profile. Looking at herself in the mirror, she unconsciously began to recall some of the things her mother had said in the past two days.

As he recalled the events, he also sneered inwardly.

For example, what the woman said was something like, "She's almost thirty and has never been with a man"...

Haha. I'm almost thirty and I haven't even passed that age, so does that mean she's already in her forties?

I still don't want to have any contact with her at all.

Fortunately, we left quickly this time.

Otherwise, she'll eventually...

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Gu Wancheng turned around in surprise to look outside the bedroom.

My sister has only been out for about ten minutes. She usually spends the whole day reading at the bookstore. Did she forget her keys?

Ding-dong-

There was another sound. Gu Wancheng got up, put on a light blue fleece nightgown, and went to the door to open it.

Then he was stunned.

Because the person who appeared in front of them was not their sister.

It was Guan Ren.

"Uh... Good morning, Teacher Gu, hey..."

Upon seeing Gu Wancheng's pajamas, Guan Ren forgot about the strong fragrance and gave an awkward laugh.

"you…"

Gu Wancheng was still a little groggy after just waking up.

Seeing Guan Ren as soon as she woke up caused her to momentarily lose her composure. She opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, then calmed down and glanced at the familiar bags he was carrying:

"Guan Ren, what are you doing here again?"

"Um..."

Guan Ren still peeked inside cautiously, and said carefully:
"Teacher Gu, is Youli here?"

"..."

Gu Wancheng's pretty face darkened slightly. Coupled with some morning grumpiness, she felt inexplicably irritated, and her eyebrows furrowed.
"She's not here, you can go back now."

With that, Gu Wancheng slammed the door shut.

"and many more!"

Guan Ren immediately panicked and instinctively raised one hand to grab the door frame.

boom!
Just like that, Guan Ren's fingers were suddenly caught in the door, and he suffered a severe pain.

"Hiss—Aow!"

"!"

Guan Ren gasped for breath and bared his teeth, tears welling up in his eyes.

The next moment, before his hand could retract, it was grabbed by a cool, soft touch and quickly snatched away.

Guan Ren looked up in astonishment, only to see Gu Wancheng with her red lips tightly pressed together, gripping her own hand, her face stiff, staring at the rapidly deepening bruise on Guan Ren's finger, her eyes filled with panic for a moment.

But Guan Ren, amidst that panic, actually saw a hint of...heartache?
My heart aches...

Tsk, is this the only expression she can show...?
To be honest, Guan Ren even briefly forgot the pain at that moment.

On the contrary, the sweet orange scent that once lingered on my lips suddenly seemed to become clear again.

“Gu…”

"Guan Ren!"

Gu Wancheng released Guan Ren's hand, then stared straight at him, and uttered a cold rebuke:
"Are you stupid?!"

Looking at her heaving chest, he was actually quite angry.

Guan Ren felt it was difficult to make up an excuse, so he shrank his neck and said tentatively:
"Teacher Gu, it's okay, it doesn't hurt much, and there's no bleeding. It'll be fine in a couple of days."

"..."

Gu Wancheng remained silent, simply staring at him without uttering a word.

Only the glint in his eyes seemed to be flickering more and more.

"I saw you weren't listening to me and just slammed the door, so I instinctively..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the flicker in Gu Wancheng's eyes seemed to cease.

She then fell silent.

Then, she turned her face slightly away from him, her red lips coldly uttering:

"Feel sorry…"

"No, no, no, Teacher Gu, it's not that bad. I was just being too..."

squeak-

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Wancheng flung the door wide open.

Then, without looking at him, she crossed her arms and leaned against the entryway.
"I already told you that Youli isn't here. If you really want to go to her room, then go ahead. I won't stop you."

"..."

Her tone was flat, as aloof as usual.

Guan Ren couldn't help but want to laugh.

Even though Gu Wancheng turned her pretty face to the side, Guan Ren could see through the few strands of hair that fell down her face and in Gu Wancheng's eyes that he had seen before, a stubbornness tinged with grievance.

This woman…

Guan Ren licked his lips, and he could roughly tell where her stubbornness and grievances came from.

So when she spoke again, her voice involuntarily softened:
"Teacher Gu, actually I didn't come to see Youli. Today... I came to see you."

"..."

Gu Wancheng remained silent.

But for some reason, her pretty face seemed to be tilted even more sharply to one side.

Then, from an angle where Guan Ren couldn't see, her long, soft, curled eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes blinked rapidly in a flustered manner.
