My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 117 [Cheng Shuangjiang]: Happy Birthday.

The two placed the snacks they had bought on the table, with the cake in the center.

Lu Bai took a lot of photos.

Then I opened WeChat, ready to post on Moments.

What kind of content should we post this time?

Looking at the beef potstickers, clam noodles, grilled gluten, fried skewers, and the cake on the table, Zhou Heming was a little curious about just how big Lord Lu Bai's stomach was.

"Hehe, of course it's this one."

Lu Bai showed the content of her edited WeChat Moments post.

The most eye-catching thing is the photo of the two people holding hands with rings on their hands.

The meaning of this post on WeChat Moments is clear even without any text description.

Lu Bai's accompanying text read: "My eighteenth birthday together, hehe."

The copywriting is very simple and straightforward.

"Does this mean, um, that it's an official announcement?"

Zhou Heming recalled that evening at the funeral home when he took a picture of the moon.

"Yes, I don't like to be secretive. I want to be open and honest and let the whole world know that I'm in a relationship."

Lu Bai answered as a matter of course.

"Then I'll post one too."

Zhou Heming thought for a moment and asked Lu Bai for the photo of them holding hands.

He doesn't usually update his WeChat, so he posts on his QQ space instead.

A photograph was accompanied by the text: "The reeds are green, the dew is white as frost; the one I long for is on the other side of the water."

Just after posting it, Zhou Heming realized that his previous social media post was a picture of the moon.

If someone with only a superficial understanding browsed his social media, they would think he was a total scumbag, having changed girlfriends less than a year after finishing his relationship with Cheng Shuangjiang.

Zhou Heming no longer cared about these things.

No matter who he's with, it's not with classmates he's not very close to, so there's no need to care about their opinions.

However, Qiao Jinchen quickly gave him a thumbs up and left a comment.

[Qiao Jinchen]: 6
Unexpectedly, almost a year has passed, and Qiao Jinchen still hasn't made any progress.

Xu Youyou also gave it a like and even left a comment, which was quite rare for her.

[Xu Youyou]: I'll come visit you guys in Ningjiang sometime!

I guess the two of them are celebrating Qixi Festival together right now, since they sent each other birthday wishes almost at the same time during the day.

"I'm going to light the candles now."

Lu Bai placed a candle on the small cake with a sense of ceremony and lit it with the included matches.

Zhou Heming turned off the light, and the room became dim.

He started singing Happy Birthday with a slightly off-key voice, and Lu Bai sang along. The two of them sang it once in Chinese and once in English.

Lu Bai blew out the candle.

The room was plunged into complete darkness.

"The lights are on."

Lu Bai tugged at Zhou Heming's clothes.

But he gently put his arm around Lu Bai's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Lu Bai".

The boy knew that to make tonight even more unforgettable, so unforgettable that it would last a lifetime, he needed a magical word.

"I like you."

In the dim light, it was almost impossible to see the girl's expression, but Zhou Heming knew clearly that it must be the most touching shyness.

No words are needed.

The two people's breath intertwined.

When Zhou Heming was a child, he lived at his maternal grandmother's house and saw those old bungalows covered with ivy, which almost covered all the walls, windows and roof. The lush and vigorous vitality, accompanied by the loud cicada chirping, made Zhou Heming, who was still a primary school student, feel a little suffocated and oppressed, as if his heart was being entangled and torn by those vines.

Now, he felt a kind of instinctive emotion clinging to his heart, making it beat more intensely and his breathing more rapid.

Only when Lu Bai was breathing heavily and her legs were weak, lying in Zhou Heming's arms, did he release the girl.

"How...how can you be so good at this?"

In the dimly lit living room, Lu Bai blushed and said coquettishly, her voice trembling slightly.

"You're the one who said you wanted me to teach you."

Perhaps because they couldn't see each other's expressions, or perhaps the darkness gave him more courage, Zhou Heming became bolder and his words became more aggressive.

"No, I'm not going to study anymore. Let's eat first."

Lu Bai hurriedly denied it and urged Zhou Heming to turn on the light.

Zhou Heming released Lu Bai and turned on the living room lights.

really.

Lu Bai's neck turned a light pink, whether from lack of oxygen or shyness, or both, it was hard to tell.

Because the cake was very small, she didn't use a knife to cut it, but instead used two small plastic spoons to scoop it out and eat it.

"Shouldn't we put on a movie or documentary to watch while we eat at this time?"

Lu Bai ate a spoonful of cake and seemed to feel much better; his face was no longer as red as before.

"Okay."

Zhou Heming took Lu Bai's tablet from the bedroom, placed it on the table, and opened a documentary about late-night snacks that they hadn't finished watching before.

How did you know I wanted to see this?

Lu Bai picked up a potsticker.

"I installed a surveillance camera on you."

"Take it down quickly!"

"No, I want to see you more."

"Then let's keep it."

The two ate and drank while watching a food documentary.

Although it's called a food documentary, it's actually about humanities, the history and stories behind the food.

As he read on, Lu Bai was so moved that he burst into tears.

Zhou Heming silently handed over a tissue.

Lu Bai wiped away his tears and leaned on Zhou Heming's shoulder.

Zhou Heming and Lu Bai paused the documentary, then leaned against each other, waiting for time to pass.

Feeling that the girl in his arms had stopped sobbing, Zhou Heming gently lifted her face.

"They've cried themselves into a mess."

"What kind of old person analogy is that?"

Lu Bai was amused by Zhou Heming.

She stood up and glanced at the table, which was almost empty.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay, I'll clean up here."

Zhou Heming gestured for Lu Bai to go first, and then began to pack up the packaging boxes.

Because the community's trash cans were on the side of this building, Zhou Heming put on his slippers, grabbed his keys, and went downstairs.

He heard a cat meowing, but after looking around, he found nothing.

He went upstairs and closed the door, thinking he would be fed mosquito bites, but to his surprise, Zhou Heming searched around and found no mosquito bites.

"It is said that mosquitoes cannot survive above a certain temperature, so it seems that Ningjiang is indeed hot."

Zhou Heming broke out in a sweat in the short time it took him to go downstairs.

The sound of water dripping came from the bathroom.

Zhou Heming sat in the living room, but his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the bathroom.

Whether it was because the kiss on the Ferris wheel was too dreamy, or because of the subtle changes in their relationship, Zhou Heming was a little restless.

He stood up, took a few steps in the living room, and then went to the bedroom pretending to pack his things.

After waiting for a while, Lu Bai, dressed in pajamas and slippers, came out.

"You, you go quickly."

She urged Zhou Heming somewhat impatiently.

"Okay."

Zhou Heming hurriedly grabbed his change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

The sound of a hairdryer could be heard outside; it seemed Lu Bai had decided to dry his hair himself this time.

Normally, girls wouldn't wash their hair this frequently, but the two of them had been out all day today, and Lu Bai, who is very clean, probably couldn't stand the smell of sweat in her hair, so she washed her hair for two days in a row.

The bathroom was filled with the scent of citrus, which reminded Zhou Heming of Lu Bai's scent.

When he finished showering, which took him a little longer than usual, he found that Lu Bai was already lying in bed and had crawled under the covers.

"Um"

Zhou Heming turned off the outside light, went into the bedroom, closed the door, and made sure the curtains were drawn.

He left the bedside lamp on and lay down on the bed.

"Should we leave the lights on?"

Lu Bai lay on his side, tugging at the hem of Zhou Heming's pajamas.

"Then I'll turn it off?"

"Ah."

Lu Bai nodded.

After the lights were turned off, she quickly snuggled into Zhou Heming's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist. Zhou Heming also reached out and let her rest her head on his arm, embracing Lu Bai.

What are our plans for tomorrow?

Zhou Heming was curious. "I don't know. I can wander around, or I can just stay home all day."

Lu Bai rubbed his nose against the boy's neck, making one's heart itch.

"This is truly a travel plan in Lu Bai's style."

Zhou Heming laughed.

He didn't necessarily have any plans to do anything.

Anyway, summer is long, and the rest of life is long.

As she was thinking this, Lu Bai gently pecked his lips.

"You just said you would teach me."

The girl's voice was charming, like a perfectly baked marshmallow—sweet, soft, and unforgettable.

"Now, I want to learn."

Zhou Heming completely stole Lu Bai's voice.

In the night when even the summer insects fall silent, only the two of them breathe in and out of each other in the bedroom. Their eyes are only for each other, and the world seems to turn only for this moment. No vows of eternal love can adequately describe the excitement they feel at this moment.

So much so.

Zhou Heming did not notice.

His phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up slightly, indicating that there was a new comment on his QQ space.

[Cheng Shuangjiang]: Happy Birthday.

After a while.

When Zhou Heming gently bit Lu Bai's earlobe, leaving marks on her cheek, nose, forehead, and eyelashes.

This comment was then quietly deleted by the poster.

It's as if they've never existed in this world.

*
The two stayed in Ningjiang until the 9th before returning to Jiangcheng.

Lu Bai's admission results came out on the 11th, while Zhou Heming's came out the next day. The two waited for their results while packing their things, preparing to fly to Sichuan on the 13th.

The afternoon of the 10th.

After waking up from a nap, Lu Bai insisted on eating the braised pork ribs with potatoes made by Zhou Heming, so the two changed their clothes and went downstairs to shop.

Pushing the shopping cart, Zhou Heming saw Lu Bai yawn.

"You go to bed late at night, so you don't need to get up so early in the morning. You can sleep a little longer."

he laughed.

"That's all because of what you did to me."

Lu Bai was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized what he was saying. He immediately shut his mouth and looked around, worried that others might hear him.

"Please don't use those kinds of statements that might be misunderstood."

Zhou Heming scratched his head.

It has to be said that although they didn't actually do anything, just kissing was enough to make the boys and girls of that age fall into a daze. Every night, the two of them would spend more than half an hour kissing.

No wonder Cheng Shuangjiang insisted on sleeping separately later on.

This will really affect my studies.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heming suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Bai looked over suspiciously.

“I think I can now naturally recall the things I did with Shuangjiang, and treat them as memories rather than regrets.”

Zhou Heming frankly told Lu Bai what he had just thought of, including his interactions with Cheng Shuangjiang.

"Indeed, it affects sleep."

Lu Bai expressed his agreement.

For them, Cheng Shuangjiang, who was reborn, was a shared memory. Lu Bai did not mind Zhou Heming mentioning her, and sometimes he would even feel a strange competitive spirit.

For example, in Ningjiang, one night, while the two were still whispering sweet nothings to each other, Lu Bai suddenly looked into Zhou Heming's eyes and asked a question.

"Between Cheng Shuangjiang and me, whose kissing technique is better?"

I don't know where this unfounded competitive mentality comes from.

In this regard.

Zhou Heming replied, "We haven't done it enough times, so it's hard to compare," and then kissed him again.

Lu Bai stopped worrying about the answer.

As they walked, they came to a place that sold canned food.

"Speaking of which."

Zhou Heming thought for a moment and picked up a can of fermented black bean dace.

"Are you going to make this stir-fried romaine lettuce? I'd like to eat it."

Lu Bai took his hand and asked curiously.

Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recreate the taste I remember?

Zhou Heming put the can back.

"That's okay. To me, what you make is the best taste."

Lu Bai put the canned food into the shopping cart.

"Let's go buy some romaine lettuce, I know what it's like!"

Since they were only cooking for three days, the two didn't buy too much. They pushed their shopping cart to the checkout counter.

There were many shoppers, and there were queues to pay.

The two found a team that seemed to be moving faster and waited quietly.

At this time.

Zhou Heming happened to glance at another item on the shelf near the checkout counter, which was not chewing gum or chocolate.

He quickly looked away.

"looking at what?"

Lu Bai followed Zhou Heming's gaze and quickly discovered the same thing.

"Zhou Heming, you..."

The girl's ears immediately turned red, and she began to stammer.

"I can hold on, well, I mean, I try."

Zhou Heming changed his mind halfway through his sentence.

to be frank.

At this age, I share a bed with the girl I like every night, and we hug and kiss for more than half an hour at a time.

Zhou Heming hasn't made a mistake yet, which is already considered extremely restrained.

However, as their feelings for each other became clear and their affection deepened, Zhou Heming often felt that the taut string in his mind was about to snap at any moment.

So all he could say was that he was trying his best to restrain himself.

"I haven't been able to get it these past few days, I'm on my period."

Lu Bai looked away and muttered to himself.

Zhou Heming was taken aback.

His Dao heart was almost completely shattered by Lu Bai's words.

To be honest, if Zhou Heming really lost control and did something wrong, even if Zhou Heming is 99% responsible, doesn't Lu Bai also bear 1% of the blame?

One person moved forward in the line. In front of them was a young couple who bought sanitary napkins, tissues, milk, and the like. The two looked like an old married couple, and they even picked up a package from the shelf, looked at it, and whispered something to each other.

The words reached Zhou Heming's ears and sounded like they were about user experience or something.

The boy glanced at the girl beside him. She had obviously heard him too; her cheeks flushed, and she subconsciously looked away.

Zhou Heming didn't hear anything else, only remembering the last sentence.

"Let's buy it online, there are coupons, it'll be cheaper."

The young couple put down the packaging box and continued queuing.

Zhou Heming and Lu Bai exchanged a glance.

"Speaking of which, should we buy some mosquito repellent? There must be a lot of mosquitoes back in our hometown, right?"

Zhou Heming abruptly changed the subject.

"Floral water cannot be brought on the plane."

Lu Bai murmured softly.

"Oh, then I'll have to buy it when I get to Sichuan."

Zhou Heming saw the young couple start paying the bill. The cashier was very efficient and printed out the receipt in no time.

Do you have a membership card?

After seeing them off, the cashier looked at Zhou Heming.

"Yes, yes."

After a slight hesitation, Zhou Heming gave Lu Bai's mobile phone number.

As each item was scanned, Zhou Heming took out his own shopping bag and put it inside.

After sweeping up the last bunch of romaine lettuce, he placed it on top of his shopping bag.

At this time.

Zhou Heming heard the beeping sound of scanning a barcode again.

Turn around.

He saw.

Lu Bai took a small box containing the things the couple had been discussing earlier and handed it to the cashier, blushing.

"Just in case."

She murmured.
