Is not being able to do as you please also called rebirth?

Chapter 60 What do you want to do?

"Why did you suddenly come here without telling me beforehand?"

Jiang Xun was somewhat pleasantly surprised to see Chen Shixuan, but he was mostly astonished.

It takes about 40 to 50 minutes to get here from the county town. Now it's the Spring Festival, so there are no buses at all, and you can only take a taxi.

Putting aside the fact that the price is several times higher than usual, the difficulty of hailing a taxi is far greater than usual.

The fact that Chen Shixuan was able to appear here so quickly means that she was already planning to come when she told Jiang Xun this morning that she was going out to play.

At this moment, she was actually carefully observing Jiang Xun's reaction. She was afraid that she would be unpopular and that her rash actions would displease Jiang Xun.

Fortunately, the hint of surprise in Jiang Xun's eyes did not escape her notice, which made her unable to hide her joy and delight.

However, she couldn't help but let out a soft hum and pouted, saying, "What, did I interrupt your date?"

As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously glanced at Zhao Ruoyu, who was not far away.

Zhao Ruoyu had actually been listening intently to their conversation the whole time.

She was also very curious about the relationship between this excessively beautiful girl with such a great figure and Jiang Xun.

Upon hearing Chen Shixuan's words, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she instinctively wanted to deny it.

But since the other party didn't mention their name, her proactive explanation would seem like she was trying to cover something up.

Jiang Xun chuckled and pointed to Jiang Zheng and the others, who were looking on with curiosity, as he introduced them:

“These are my cousins. His name is Jiang Zheng, and he is a first-year high school student at No. 2 Middle School. These two are named Jiang Xiaobai and Jiang Lili.”

"This is Zhao Ruoyu, my cousin, a slightly arrogant little girl. The other two are the kids from next door."

After he finished speaking, he introduced Chen Shixuan's name and their relationship as classmates to Jiang Zheng and the others.

When Zhao Ruoyu heard Jiang Xun call her arrogant, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her lips twitched a couple of times, but she held back and didn't say anything.

"Sister, you're so beautiful!" Jiang Xiaobai, with her slightly shrewd personality, exclaimed loudly, her big, watery eyes conveying a sincere expression.

Jiang Lili, who was standing next to her, followed suit and showered Chen Shixuan with compliments.

Chen Shixuan was amused and quickly took out some snacks from her bag to share with them.

When she handed it to Zhao Ruoyu, the latter still shook her head with an arrogant expression, "No need, thank you."

But then, unable to resist her burning gossip spirit, she asked in a low voice, "Are you his girlfriend?"

"Huh?" Chen Shixuan's face flushed red instantly.

He had initially felt somewhat displeased because of Zhao Ruoyu's cold attitude, but that dissipated instantly.

Some even find the 'cousin's' arrogant demeanor rather cute.

Seeing that Chen Shixuan didn't deny it, Zhao Ruoyu took it as an admission and said with a smirk:
"I didn't expect that someone who isn't good-looking would have such good taste in girlfriends."

Chen Shixuan understood the meaning behind those words; it was clearly a compliment.

So this is how proud people praise others? It actually sounds quite pleasant, and Chen Shixuan couldn't suppress her smile at all.

At this moment, Jiang Xun invited everyone to enter the ancient town, preparing to take them around.

Although the ancient town of Xihe was not yet developed at this time, there were hardly any tourists and the facilities were not complete.

But it is precisely this pristine feel that makes it all the more valuable for appreciation.

The bluestone path winds through the verdant mountain valley, and the moss-covered steps are stained dark by the water mist.

The stilted houses are stacked on the mountainside, the fir wood walls have long since faded to smoky gray, and the copper bells hanging from the eaves are occasionally stirred by the mountain wind, producing ethereal trembling sounds.

The stream under the covered bridge is so clear you can see the bottom. When the waterwheel turns, it stirs up water droplets like shattered jade, startling the fish swimming among the rocks.

A group of people strolled around most of the ancient town, laughing and joking, until they were all too tired to move.

At this moment, Chen Shixuan, who had been chatting happily with Zhao Ruoyu, suddenly walked up to Jiang Xun, grabbed his sleeve, and led him toward a small alley. "Come on, let's go for a stroll over there."

Jiang Xun let her pull him along, looking at her with a teasing smile, and said:
"Da Xuanzi, what are you trying to do, dragging me into this alleyway when we're all alone together?"

"I don't want to!" Chen Shixuan blushed and pinched Jiang Xun. "What kind of things are you thinking about all day long?"

Jiang Xun gave her a strange look. "You're acting strangely."

Chen Shixuan reacted instantly, her cheeks burning. Enraged, she punched Jiang Xun a few times.

"It's all your fault, you've led me astray."

Chen Shih-hsuan wouldn't have thought about this "what I want to do" question before.

But ever since Jiang Xun responded with "thinking" last time, she has been unable to look at this issue directly, especially when it comes from Jiang Xun's mouth.

The two had entered a quiet alley, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, with Jiang Zheng and the others' playful noises almost inaudible.

Just as Jiang Xun said, they are now truly a single man and woman.

An ambiguous atmosphere began to fill the air, and the scents emanating from the two of them, accompanied by a surge of hormones, quickly spread and then exchanged.

This is what is known as body odor, which is said to be detectable only by the person you like.

Actually, it's just that hormones amplify some of the smells that were already on their bodies.

Chen Shixuan reached out and smoothed the hair behind her ear, secretly observing Jiang Xun, who was strolling leisurely with a smile on his lips.

From the side, this guy is really too handsome, making Chen Shixuan's heart beat even faster.

The two walked quietly, neither speaking, letting the ambiguous atmosphere spread between them.

The distance between them gradually closed without them realizing it, until their arms would occasionally touch.

Even through the clothes, every touch felt like an electric current, sending a tingling, numbing sensation through my heart.

"you……"

"I……"

At one point, they spoke at the same time, as if in perfect unison, and then paused simultaneously in surprise.

Chen Shixuan chuckled and lowered her head, secretly delighted by this unexpected little understanding.

"You go first," Jiang Xun said with a slight smile.

Chen Shixuan didn't mince words and said directly:

"I thought the math exam last time was so hard! I only got 58, boohoo~ You monster, you actually got 150!"

"58 is already very good, a great improvement," Jiang Xun said with a smile, trying to comfort him.

"Those math concepts are so hard to understand, I just can't learn them," Chen Shixuan sighed.

"No math is harder to understand than a girl's."

"what?"

"If you don't understand math, you can find a way to copy it, but if you don't understand girls, even C... Hey? There's a big orange cat over there, do you want to take a picture with it?"

"Fine...why don't you finish what you were saying?"

"It's okay, it's not important, I'll take the picture for you."

"Take a nice picture, or I'll give you a reward."

"What do you want to do again?"

"Get out! I don't want to!"
