My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 173 I'll see if Ah He has stolen any food.
October 22nd.

The day before Frost's Descent.

The autumn wind in Ningjiang was already quite bleak. Only the tips of the leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the university road were tinged with gold. The students walking on the road were all wearing heavy coats, and they hurried between the classrooms of the school in twos and threes, carrying their schoolbags.

The elderly men who exercise in Chaowumen Park still live their lives at a slow pace. The stone lions that were once covered with sparrows became a little popular for a while after that. Many couples came to visit, placing food and drinks as offerings under the stone lions and writing down their wishes to stay together for life. There were also heartbroken people who lingered here, hoping to reunite with the person in their hearts.

But sparrows no longer landed on the stone lions, and the trendy offerings were swept away by the cleaning lady. After that, not many people cared about this place anymore.

Zhou Heming and Jiang Rui were walking on the school street. They had just finished their class and were heading to their next classroom.

"Speaking of which, something just suddenly came to mind."

Su Hong walked at the front, slowing his pace slightly and glancing at Zhou Heming beside him.

"Is Cheng Shuangjiang's birthday tomorrow?"

"Ah."

Zhou Heming nodded.

"really."

Su Hong nodded.

"How did you know?"

Gu Yingying and Yang Hongye walked a little further away. She opened her clear, innocent college student eyes and asked curiously.

"Silly, it's because tomorrow is Frost's Descent, so this guess is reasonable, right?"

Du Ruo complained awkwardly.

"Yes."

Because the solar terms are not really used in daily life, Gu Yingying didn't even realize that tomorrow was Frost's Descent.

"This is indeed a good name. If someone is born during the White Dew season, could they also be named X White Dew?"

Yang Hongye continued.

Because they filmed together, the two girls got along well with Zhou Heming and the others, and often played together. Yang Hongye was no longer as aloof as she had been when they first met.

"Of course you can, but birthdays are something that happens by chance anyway, it's hard to pinpoint exactly when you're born."

Jiang Rui walked behind, looking up from his phone where he was scrolling through short videos.

"Thinking about it this way, Cheng Shuangjiang is very lucky to have been born right on the day of Frost's Descent!"

Su Hong patted Zhou Heming on the shoulder.

"Lucky."

Zhou Heming responded.

Was Cheng Shuangjiang lucky?

Having lost her parents as a child and later being involved in a car accident, if the above timeline were to unfold, she would attempt suicide, become disfigured and disabled, suffer cyberbullying, be unable to express love, and even watch helplessly as the person she loves dies in front of her.

In any case, it can't be called luck.

But she was given a chance to be reborn.

She went back in time, saved everything she wanted to save, and spent a wonderful golden time with the one she loved, making everything go in the best possible direction.

This is perhaps what many people dream of.

"So, Lao Zhou, you're going to celebrate her birthday with her tomorrow, right?"

Du Ruo asked.

Ever since Zhou Heming revealed his identity in the group last time.

They didn't dare to ask in detail, only knowing that Zhou Heming, Lu Bai, and Cheng Shuangjiang should have some connection, but as for the specifics...

It's best not to pry into other people's business.

As long as the three of them are happy, that's all that matters.

"Well, I'm sorry, because we agreed in advance that the three of us would be having dinner together this time, but next weekend we'll invite everyone over for dinner."

Zhou Heming said.

It wasn't that he thought it was bad for everyone to celebrate Cheng Shuangjiang's birthday together, but Cheng Shuangjiang wanted the three of them to be together, so he naturally had to listen to the birthday girl's wish.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and the little birthday star is the biggest.

Even if Cheng Shuangjiang were to follow her lead today, she would still have to listen to her.

"It's okay, but we can definitely have a meal together on Singles' Day."

Jiang Rui said with a smile.

I bumped into it at close range.

What else is he dissatisfied with?
Are you sure you want to have dinner with couples on Singles' Day?

Du Ruo raised an eyebrow.

"What's wrong with that?"

Jiang Rui didn't care about any of that.

He's reconciled a little now.

As long as Zhou Heming and Cheng Shuangjiang are together, it doesn't seem to matter much whether Lu Bai is there or not.

Therefore, on Singles' Day, a holiday with a hint of romance, if Jiang Rui could see two people being sweet and loving, he would be willing to see three people being sweet and loving.

Have you prepared a gift?

Yang Hongye glanced at Zhou Heming.

"Yes, it's ready."

Zhou Heming nodded. Yang Hongye probably thought that if Zhou Heming didn't have a choice, she and Gu Yingying wouldn't mind helping him pick one.

"By the way, the edited video should be finished this weekend. Shall we borrow a classroom and watch it together then?"

Su Hong spoke again.

Everyone agreed.

As they were talking, they arrived at the classroom for the next class, and the conversation came to an end.

*
in the afternoon.

Zhou Heming only has classes during the first period in the afternoon, so he can go home very early.

However, he didn't go straight back. Instead, he went to the supermarket to do some shopping and prepare what he would need for the night.

Last time, after midnight, Zhou Heming was the first to send Cheng Shuangjiang his blessings and told her for the first time, "I like you." The two embraced under the window without a moon, like two stars that had broken through the Roche limit, inseparable from each other.

So tonight, at midnight on Cheng Shuangjiang's nineteenth birthday, Zhou Heming will be the first to send her birthday wishes.

I'm really lucky. I don't have class during the first period of Frost's Descent tomorrow morning, so I don't have to get up so early. I can stay up a little later tonight without any problem.

Cheng Shuangjiang has a full afternoon of classes, and although Lu Qian doesn't have classes in the middle, she has a class on the last period, so the two of them will come back together.

Now, even when Zhou Heming isn't around, the two girls still travel together, just like real sisters.

However, there seems to be some controversy about who is the older sister and who is the younger sister.

Judging from their ages, Cheng Shuangjiang is naturally the older sister.

However, Lu Qian was more adept than Cheng Shuangjiang in every aspect except academic performance.

In more popular terms, Lu Yi is the one in most cases, while Cheng Yi is the one in very few cases.

Therefore, when the two are together, Lu Qian, who is more cheerful, is more like the older sister.

Many of the strange and unusual games were proposed by Lu Qian, with Cheng Shuangjiang cooperating to set up schemes for Zhou Heming.

Take back your thoughts.

Zhou Heming made preparations in advance and then started cooking.

In terms of price, the cafeteria and cooking at home cost about the same, so the three of them usually eat dinner together in the cafeteria when they have classes.

The family only cooks on weekends, or when Zhou Heming has time like today.

Because tomorrow is Cheng Shuangjiang's birthday, dinner tonight wasn't very lavish—just three dishes and a soup. As they finished preparing the last vegetarian dish, the door lock clicked, and Lu Qian and Cheng Shuangjiang returned home.

Cheng Shuangjiang's slippers were already on the shoe rack. As they changed their shoes, Zhou Heming brought the last dish to the table.

"Let's tidy up, wash our hands, and eat."

He set out three sets of bowls and chopsticks and urged the two girls to hurry up.

"Good~"

Cheng Shuangjiang glanced at Zhou Heming, then walked into the restroom with a grin.

Lu Qian then hugged Zhou Heming from behind.

"You've worked hard, have you missed me?"

She nuzzled Zhou Heming's ear with her nose, her breath falling on his earlobe, warm and intimate.

"I'm thinking about whether you were paying attention in class."

"Of course! I take this very seriously!"

Lu Qian said smugly.

Cheng Shuangjiang came out of the restroom and saw Zhou Heming being embraced. She smiled and then walked up to Zhou Heming.

"Let me taste it to see if Ah He has stolen any food~"

Immediately afterwards, she tiptoed slightly and gave Zhou Heming a light kiss.

"The chef always has to taste it first," Zhou Heming explained, feigning ignorance.

"Okay, let's eat."

Cheng Shuangjiang didn't pursue the matter; instead, she picked up the empty bowl and helped serve the rice.

Lu Qian also let go of Zhou Heming and went to the restroom to wash her hands.

The three of them quickly started eating dinner, chatting about what happened at school, what the latest news was, or gossip in the film and television industry, and they would also talk about the movie they were going to make.

After watching the short film over the weekend, they plan to finish filming the rest of the story and try to participate in next year's College Student Film Festival.

Despite being called a college student film festival, many of the films on display were actually made by professional filmmakers. Very few were actually made by college students themselves, and those that were made were mostly short films. And among them, very few were made by first-year students.

"Tonight, hmm, how about Ah He sleeps next door? After all, it's Frost's Descent birthday, and birthdays should be joyful from the first second to the last."

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Lu Qian made a suggestion.

Although it was supposed to be a three-person group, the bed wasn't big enough, so it was a bit crowded for three people to sleep together every day. Therefore, Zhou Heming would sometimes go next door to sleep with Cheng Shuangjiang.

Based on the idea of "balancing the water," it's roughly like this: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are here; Tuesdays and Thursdays are next door; and Saturdays are spent with all three of us together, but I'm not sure.

"No need, tomorrow is my birthday, there's no need to be so formal today."

Cheng Shuangjiang glanced at Zhou Heming, then spoke.

"How about the three of us go together tonight? I also want A-Qian to be there for me on my birthday."

"Great, then it's decided then."

Lu Qian nodded.

Zhou Heming naturally had no objections.

The birthday boy is always right.

Cheng Shuangjiang went back to the next room to wash up first, while Zhou Heming told Lu Qian to take a shower first, and then he checked the configuration after midnight again.

While Lu Qian was waiting to finish washing, Cheng Shuangjiang knocked on the door and then opened it to come in.

Zhou Heming made a copy of the key for Cheng Shuangjiang, and in return, Cheng Shuangjiang gave her own key to Zhou Heming.

"Ah He, can you help me blow-dry my hair?"

She was wearing cotton long-sleeved pajamas and her hair was wrapped in a towel as she stood in the doorway.

"Okay, please sit down first."

Zhou Heming asked Cheng Shuangjiang to sit on the edge of the bed, took out a hairdryer, and carefully dried her hair.

Halfway through blowing the air, Lu Qian came out of the bathroom, her hair still wet.

"I want Ah-He to help me blow-dry my hair too!"

She leaned closer.

"I can't handle this, and there's only one hair dryer at home."

Zhou Heming helplessly shrugged.

“I have one in my room. You blow on it for A-Qian first, and I’ll bring it over.”

Cheng Shuangjiang said, and then stood up.

Zhou Heming pressed her down.

"I'll go get it, you guys blow on it yourselves first."

He handed the hairdryer to Cheng Shuangjiang, then took the keys and went next door.

When Zhou Heming returned, he saw that Cheng Shuangjiang had already helped Lu Qian blow-dry her hair. The two of them were very close, like best friends or sisters who had grown up together.

"You two have such a good relationship."

Zhou Heming plugged in the hair dryer and then continued to dry Cheng Shuangjiang's hair.

"Because we both like Ah He, wouldn't you say that's a kind of shared interest?"

Lu Qian answered with a smile.

"It really is."

Zhou Heming stroked Cheng Shuangjiang's hair. Her hair was in very good condition and had an enviable amount of volume, but it took her a long time to dry it every time she washed it.

And so, he played the flute for Cheng Shuangjiang, and Cheng Shuangjiang played the flute for Lu Qian, and they quickly finished cleaning up.

It's almost 10 PM.

Because she still had homework, Cheng Shuangjiang simply started writing her questions at the dining table.

Zhou Heming didn't have any homework due tomorrow, so he took a reference book recommended by the teacher and sat down to read it.

Lu Qian wore headphones and was scrolling through videos on her phone.

It's not that Lu Qian doesn't work hard, but rather that at this level of her profession, talent outweighs effort. As a teenage adult actress, her acting skills are basically set in stone. If she wants to improve, she can only rely on a lot of practice and acting in productions. Theoretical knowledge alone is no longer enough.

Lu Qian, on the other hand, is fortunate enough to be considered one of the talented ones.

Or rather, the efforts she made during that year of her childhood laid the foundation for her becoming an actress.

"Am I lucky?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Heming slightly raised his eyes.

Cheng Shuangjiang was writing the questions seriously and attentively. Occasionally, she would raise her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Her profile was beautiful, and she looked like a delicate beauty with a gentle temperament.

He stared at it for a while. Lu Qian, who was standing nearby, caught a glimpse of this scene, smiled, and remained silent.

It wasn't until Cheng Shuangjiang had finished her homework, put down her pen, and let out a long sigh that she noticed Zhou Heming's gaze and immediately became a little flustered.

"What's wrong with me?"

She instinctively touched her face, afraid that ink had gotten on it.

"Have you finished your homework?"

Lu Qian glanced at Cheng Shuangjiang's homework.

"Yes, I just finished writing it, and there's still a lot of content."

Cheng Shuangjiang nodded and gently closed the workbook.

She doesn't need to check; she gets it right the first time.

"Ah He, I was looking at you for a long time."

Lu Qian said sarcastically.

"Why...why are you staring at me?"

Cheng Shuangjiang tugged at the hem of her clothes, lowered her eyes, and blushed.

Although the three of them had been shameless countless times before, this situation still made one's heart flutter and race.

Or.

Facing the person you like.

Even when you're in your seventies or eighties, you'll still feel shy; it's just that the vicissitudes of life may make your feelings less direct and obvious.

Lovers will always love each other, no matter how old they are.

"I... I was wondering, do you feel lucky during the Frost's Descent?"

Zhou Heming looked into her eyes and asked the question.

"Lucky."

Cheng Shuangjiang repeated the word.

She glanced at Lu Qian beside her, then looked at herself reflected in Zhou Heming's eyes.

Then, he nodded.

"Of course I'm lucky!"

She smiled and gently took Zhou Heming's hand.

"Because I am with Ahe and Aqian right now. You are all my family. For me, this is the greatest fortune."

next moment.

The voice just fell.
