My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 114 The story begins, a midsummer filled with the incessant chirping of cicadas.

Under the living room lights, the lemon mousse cake gleamed with an enticing sheen.

Zhou Heming stared blankly at the girl in front of him.

Although they were still the same people who had been together day and night for the past few months, Zhou Heming felt that the person standing in front of him at this moment was not the actress, but a girl who had been reborn after traversing a long period of time.

It was as if she had been resurrected in her own body.

"What's wrong, Ah-He? Is there something on my face?"

The girl smiled and waved her hand in front of him.

Zhou Heming grasped that hand.

His throat felt itchy.

"Hehe, I told you I'd prepare a super, super big surprise for your birthday, how about it?"

The girl pulled her hand away and took out the candle with a hint of pride. It was a "1" and a "9", representing Zhou Heming's 19th birthday.

She placed the candle on the cake, took out the included matches, lit the candle, and turned off the living room lights, plunging the room into darkness, with only the flickering candlelight providing a faint glow for the two of them.

Let's sing "Happy Birthday" together!

She took Zhou Heming's hand again, interlocking their fingers, and then began to sing softly.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you~"

To Zhou Heming, the melody of the birthday song sounded like heavenly music.

He hummed along with the girl.

Like.

On her birthday.

The two sang the Chinese version once, and then the English version, as if trying to prolong this memorable moment indefinitely.

"Alright, Ahe, make a wish now."

The girl smiled radiantly and gently squeezed his palm.

"it is good."

Zhou Heming responded, then closed his eyes hesitantly.

He feared that when he opened his eyes again, everything would disappear.

So he made a wish that this moment would last forever, then opened his eyes and blew out the candles.

In the blurry darkness where they couldn't see each other clearly, Zhou Heming's hand was pulled, and slender fingers gently slipped between his fingers, pulling the boy toward a warm, soft, and intoxicating body.

Zhou Heming embraced the girl in the darkness.

He could feel her slender waist and her warm breath on his neck.

"Ah He".

When the call came, Zhou Heming lowered his head.

Even in this quiet, dark room where he couldn't see anything clearly, he could still catch a glimpse of his own reflection in those clear eyes.

next moment.

Zhou Heming felt his lips touch something soft, sweet, and irresistibly honey-like.

Sweet breaths mingled as the boy closed his eyes.

This is one.

A kiss that is intoxicating, irresistible, like a tangible vow, and one that you can savor for a lifetime.

The longing and emotions between the two were like binary stars that had broken the Roche limit, intertwined and inseparable.

a long time.

Lip points.

Although Zhou Heming hadn't eaten his birthday cake yet, he had already tasted the sweetest thing in the world.

"I've turned on the light!"

The girl said, her breathing slightly unsteady.

"Ah."

The living room suddenly lit up.

Zhou Heming saw that the girl's cheeks were flushed, and even her fingertips were tinged with a beautiful color. Her lips were wet, her eyelashes trembled, her eyes were lowered, and the passion in her body was overflowing, like an autumn rain that had fallen all night.

"What wish did Ah-He just make?"

The girl picked up a plastic cake knife and handed it to Zhou Heming, letting the birthday boy cut the cake.

"Won't it lose its effect if you say it out loud?"

Zhou Heming cut the small cake into four pieces and put them on a plate.

"How can I help you make it happen if you don't tell me, Ah He?"

The girl smiled sweetly.

"I hope to be with you forever."

Zhou Heming handed the cake to the girl.

"I've received your wish!"

The girl took the cake and took a small bite with a spoon.

"It's delicious!"

She casually scooped up a small piece of cake with the spoon she had just used and handed it to Zhou Heming.

Zhou Heming opened his mouth and ate the cake.

It tastes just as good as the ones you buy in the supermarket.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

The two sat down.

"So, you've already rented this place?"

Zhou Heming asked belatedly.

"Yes, I secretly came here to rent it a few days ago. The landlady is a very nice person. When she heard that we were going to study at Ningjiang University in September, she directly reduced the rent by 200 yuan."

The girl laughed as she ate her cake.

"Does Ah-He want to take a look here?"

Zhou Heming nodded.

Although I had seen countless photos of this place online, this was the first time I had actually seen it in person.

This is a typical one-bedroom apartment. Compared to the tenement building where Zhou Heming lives, the advantages are that the bathroom and bedroom are relatively large, and the balcony faces south. The disadvantages are that the living room is a bit small, and there is no clear partition between it and the north-facing kitchen.

The girl led Zhou Heming to the bedroom.

The double bed here has been fitted with a new four-piece bedding set.

"So, we don't need to go to a hotel tonight, we can just sleep here?"

Zhou Heming glanced at the two pillows.

"Yes, it can even save on hotel room fees!"

The girl's cheeks were still flushed, and she shyly tugged at the blanket.

"It's late today, and we have to get up early tomorrow. Let's go wash up first."

She said.

Zhou Heming responded and took out their toothbrushes, cups, toothpaste, and small bags containing their changes of clothes from their suitcases.

"You go first."

the girl urged.

"Okay, I'll be done washing soon."

Zhou Heming took a change of clothes and a towel into the bathroom, where the girl had already prepared shower gel and shampoo.

A faint citrus scent lingered in the bathroom.

When Zhou Heming finished washing up quickly, changed into his pajamas, and came out, the girl was still earnestly eating her quarter slice of lemon mousse cake.

"Then Ah He, you'll have to help me blow-dry my hair later, okay?"

She put down the spoon, picked up her change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.

Zhou Heming sat in the living room, which felt both strange and familiar. He ate his portion of cake, put the rest back in the box, and placed it in the refrigerator.

The refrigerator is empty, which feels a bit strange.

The sound of rushing water coming from the bathroom made Zhou Heming a little uneasy.

He decided to tidy up his things to distract himself.

Now that he's already rented this place, he can take all his things out.

After inspecting the room, Zhou Heming found that it had obviously been cleaned and was spotless with no dust.

He put their clothes in the closet in the bedroom, and took out the girl's skincare products and put them on the dressing table with a mirror in the bedroom.

When he came to the bedroom balcony, he could hear the sound of trains passing by and see the lights of the houses across the street.

The buildings here are all very low, so even if you're only on the second floor, you won't be blocked from the sun.

As I drew the curtains and turned around, the bathroom door opened.

In the misty steam, a girl wearing short sleeves and shorts, her hair wrapped in a towel, her cheeks flushed pink, walked out in slippers.

Zhou Heming had found the hair dryer in the drawer. He patted the bed, gesturing for the girl to sit down.

The girl sat shyly at the foot of the bed, next to Zhou Heming, turning her body slightly to the side with her back to him.

The brand-new hair dryer hissed as warm air brushed against the girl's hair.

Zhou Heming raised his hand and gently lifted a strand of damp hair, skillfully and meticulously drying the girl's hair, starting from her scalp.

Whenever he accidentally touched the girl's ear, neck, or cheek, she would tremble slightly, her adorable appearance like a startled little rabbit making Zhou Heming's movements even gentler. He didn't know how much time had passed before the hairdryer stopped.

"All right."

Zhou Heming said.

"Let's go brush our teeth first."

The girl stood up.

Zhou Heming put down the hair dryer and followed.

The two squeezed out toothpaste, took cups and toothbrushes, and stood side by side in front of the bathroom mirror, brushing their teeth just like they had done countless mornings before.

Without saying a word, I felt extremely comfortable and happy.

The mint-flavored toothpaste blends with the lemon mousse cake flavor, creating a unique and refreshing aroma.

"Then, let's get to bed first."

After washing up, Zhou Heming said.

"You've walked a lot today, let me massage your feet."

"Yay, it's Ahe's massage~"

The girl smiled and sat down on the bed.

Zhou Heming turned off the living room lights, leaving only a bedside lamp on, and then sat down on the bed.

"Lean against the headboard."

He had the girl lean against the cushion at the head of the bed, then sat cross-legged at the foot of the bed and brought one of the girl's feet in front of him.

Having had several experiences, Zhou Heming's movements were already very skilled. He gently kneaded the fair and tender bare feet, which were like solidified cream, pressed his fingers on the soles of the feet, rubbed the ankles to relax the calf muscles, and then switched to the other foot, repeating the massage.

The girl watched his movements with eyes full of tenderness.

"All right."

Although the girl's feet had already been washed, Zhou Heming still washed and dried his hands before returning to the bedroom and closing the door.

The girl had already crawled into the blankets, leaving Zhou Heming some space on the outside.

The boy lay down.

"Then I'll turn off the lights, okay?"

"Uh-huh."

Click——

The desk lamp went out.

The only sound in the bedroom was the low hum of the air conditioner.

In the darkness, Zhou Heming felt a hand gently tugging at the hem of his clothes.

"Today's hug."

A girl's soft voice came from inside.

Zhou Heming reached out, grabbed the restless little hand, and gently pulled it toward him.

The girl was pulled into an embrace.

Her warm, petite, and pitiful body was held tightly in Zhou Heming's arms.

The girl then wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her body against his, their legs, clad in shorts, intertwined, feeling the touch of each other's skin.

In the dimly lit bedroom, on the double bed, the girl raised her face in his arms, her eyes moist and her lips pursed.

"Today's kiss."

She said.

Zhou Heming took away all the remaining words from the girl.

Only the scents of mint and lemon remained, mingling and interacting between the two.

After a brief moment of catching their breath, the boy and girl touched forehead to forehead.

"I'm yours."

The girl spoke in a hoarse voice, but her clear words were like the most enchanting magic, stirring the boy's heart.

"you are mine."

So he responded.

They whispered sweet nothings to each other, and he brushed the girl's hair behind her ear, gently biting her delicate earlobe, leaving his breath on her beautiful profile, not even sparing her exquisite nose and long eyelashes.

After countless breaths intertwined.

Only then did the two finally feel at ease, as if confirming each other's existence, and they fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.

*
Zhou Heming seemed to be having a long, beautiful dream, a dreamscape so enchanting and hazy it was like a sweet poison, making him unwilling to wake up.

However, Zhou Heming woke up with a start when he clearly realized in his dream that he could not see the girl's face.

He opened his eyes and felt the warm breath of the girl beside him, confirming her presence once again.

Not a dream.

"Good morning, Ahe! Have a happy day today!"

The girl he longed for day and night, the one he would never forget, was lying beside him at this moment. She had already woken up and was gently touching Zhou Heming's lips with her fingers.

"Good morning."

Zhou Heming leaned down and gently left a faint mark on her beautiful pale cherry-colored lips.

But the girl quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, turning what was initially a light, tentative kiss into one filled with passion, making him lose himself in it.

Perhaps it was because the two hugged too tightly last night, but their clothes were disheveled and several buttons were undone, allowing Zhou Heming to see some things he shouldn't have seen.

"If this continues, none of us will be able to get out of bed today."

So he turned his face away and reminded him.

It's my birthday, after all.

I still hope to do something else.

Of course, even if Zhou Heming were to spend a whole day in bed with the girl, he wouldn't be the slightest bit unhappy.

"Then Ah He, just make sure I can't get out of bed~"

The girl smiled slyly.

Anyway, I've always been Ah He's woman~

"Don't use such a misleading way of putting it."

Zhou Heming wondered why he felt guilty afterward, even though he hadn't done anything last night.

Perhaps, loving someone does often make you feel indebted.

He sat up and straightened his clothes.

"Okay, A-He, kiss me one more time and I'll get up~"

The girl acted very clingy, as if she had lost the boy once before.

Zhou Heming supported her slightly exposed shoulder as her collar slumped down, responding to the girl's request.

A few minutes later, the two separated, both slightly out of breath.

Zhou Heming got up and went to the bathroom to squeeze toothpaste.

The girl got up with him and brushed her teeth in front of the mirror, smiling happily, like a child who had finally found a treasure.

Where are we going today?

After washing up, Zhou Heming took out the half-eaten cake from yesterday for breakfast and asked.

"In the morning, I'll take a walk around Zhongshan Mountain nearby, then go to the zoo in the afternoon, have dinner by the Lingjiang River in the evening, and then ride the Ferris wheel."

The girl seemed to have planned it all out.

Is it hot in Zhongshan this season?

Zhou Heming checked the weather forecast.

It was already a simple 35 degrees Celsius at around 7 a.m.

It's on par with Jiangcheng.

You're really something, Ningjiang.

Moreover, the humid and sticky feeling last night left a deep impression on Zhou Heming, and he was a little scared.

"Zhongshan is alright, because there are many sycamore trees, and it's relatively cool on the mountain. If Ahe is afraid of the heat, we can go somewhere else~"

The girl smiled gently, like a parent indulging and spoiling their child.

"Let's go here. I'm quite interested in it too. I was a bit rushed last time and didn't get to go."

Zhou Heming immediately said.

He was quite interested in the Zhongshan Observatory, which is located on Zhongshan Mountain, but he didn't go on the roads that seemed to be normal tourist attractions.

Of course, as long as he's with a girl, even if it's just sitting in a room with the air conditioning on, eating watermelon, and watching boring TV dramas, it's a kind of enjoyment for him.

The two packed their things, changed their clothes, and went out.

Considering the hot weather, Zhou Heming wore a casual shirt with shorts and sneakers, and carried a bag containing tissues, a power bank, drinking water, and other travel essentials.

The girl had tied her hair into a neat ponytail with a string of beads, wore a light blue tie-dye sundress, an apricot-colored embroidered cardigan, and white sneakers.

"Here, take this key!"

As soon as they stepped outside, the girl handed one of the two keys to Zhou Heming.

"This is the key to our home."

She smiled and watched Zhou Heming put the key into his own keychain, put it back in his backpack, and then reach out.

Zhou Heming naturally took her hand, and the two intertwined their fingers, stepping into the midsummer, where cicadas sang incessantly, as if it were the beginning of a story.
