Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Meanwhile, at Liang Wenbo's home.

Chen Zhou received a bunch of his packages.

Before long, Chen Zhou picked up the package and prepared to leave, saying goodbye to Liang's mother.

"Aunt Gan, thank you so much for today."

Gan Yuxiu waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's nothing, it was just a small favor."

Immediately afterward, Gan Yuxiu asked, "By the way, Chen Zhou, are you planning to assemble a computer yourself with these parts? Will you use it for studying or for playing games?"

Chen Zhou glanced at Liang Wenbo, who was hanging his head, looking completely listless.

It seems this kid wanted to buy a home computer, but his mom scolded him.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Aunt Gan, of course I'll use it for studying!"

"Having a computer at home makes researching information so convenient!"

Chen Zhou spoke with great conviction.

Gan Yuxiu exclaimed "Oh!" as if she had just realized something.

Liang Wenbo was quite surprised. He looked at Chen Zhou with astonishment, but quickly changed his gaze to that of his godfather.

Good brother, loyal to the end!

Liang Wenbo seemed to be conveying this message to Chen Zhou through his expression.

Chen Zhou then chimed in, "Aunt Gan, I think your family could also buy a home computer. If you don't know anything about computers, I can help you find the parts, new or used. Look at all these parts I have, they're all used, and they only cost about 2000 yuan in total, cheap!"

Gan Yuxiu exclaimed in surprise, "Less than 2000? That's so cheap!"

Chen Zhou said, "Isn't that right? And the performance is pretty good too."

Gan Yuxiu nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie will think about it."

"Alright, I'll be going now." Chen Zhou said goodbye and went downstairs with a pile of packages in his arms.

Gan Yuxiu smiled and waved goodbye to Chen Zhou before closing the door.

Liang Wenbo immediately said solicitously, "Mom, about the computer..."

Gan Yuxiu's face immediately fell, and she interrupted, "What computer? You really want to buy a computer?"

Liang Wenbo said hesitantly, "Didn't you just say you'd consider it in front of Chen Zhou?"

Gan Yuxiu said, "I was just being polite. Do you think I really want to buy it for you? Why should I?"

Liang Wenbo said aggrievedly, "Chen Zhou bought them all."

Gan Yuxiu said, "Chen Zhou has good grades, that's why he can buy a computer. Are your grades as good as his?"

Liang Wenbo said, "Liu Xing's grades aren't as good as mine, but he also has a computer."

Gan Yuxiu said, "Liu Xing's grades are worse than yours because he bought a computer! Do you understand?"

Liang Wenbo was exhausted: "…………"

give up.

He wondered why Chen Zhou was so lucky. His parents weren't home and didn't care about him.

He can even date the school beauty!

Why does Chen Zhou seem to get all the good things?

·

Meanwhile, Chen Zhou returned home and put the package away.

He searched every corner of the house but couldn't find Xia Yu anywhere.

"Where did they go?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself. "Never mind, let's open the package."

As he spoke, he began unpacking the package, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

Now that we have a computer at home, we can do website development, take on freelance work, or develop games.

I can finally go all out and get started!

We aim to earn the initial funding for the "Fruit Ninja" project as soon as possible.

That way I can pay off my family's debts sooner and reunite with my parents sooner.

Having experienced loss in his previous life, Chen Zhou misses the days when he was under his parents' control.

I long for the days when my family is reunited!

Just as Chen Zhou unpacked all the packages and was about to start assembling them...

dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door. Chen Zhou thought it was probably Xia Yu, so he went to the entrance and opened the door.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "It really is you."

Xia Yu chuckled, revealing a pair of heartwarming dimples.

Then, she nodded obediently, "Yes, it's me."

"Come in," Chen Zhou said with a smile, inviting Xia Yu into the house. He closed the door and then asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Xia Yu said, "Let's go back to the house."

Chen Zhou said "Oh," nodded, and then asked, "Are you still going to watch your teen idol dramas?"

Xia Yu nodded. "Mm."

Chen Zhou added, "If you want to watch, then watch, but don't watch too late."

"I'll go get you a bottle of water."

Chen Zhou went to the refrigerator, opened the crisper compartment door, and took out a bottle of chilled cola.

Just then, the "beep beep beep" QQ notification sound rang out again.

Chen Zhou was taken aback. Who would be looking for me at this hour? Could it be that Xiao Yu'er has something to say to me again?

Chen Zhou took out his phone and saw that it really was Xia Yu.

But when he saw the contents of the chat box, he was completely stunned.

Xia Yu: "Chen Zhou, do you want a girlfriend?"

Chen Zhou was stunned for several seconds before slowly turning his head to look at Xia Yu sitting on the sofa.

The girl grinned innocently, revealing her pearly white teeth.

Perhaps because of Xia Yu's dimples, Chen Zhou was a little confused at the moment.

What is this girl trying to do?

tease me?

Or is it flirting?

Chen Zhou walked over and gave the cola to Xia Yu, then sat down on a stool in the living room.

Chen Zhou typed back: "Miss, your aloof persona has crumbled!"

"What exactly do you want?"

[Expression: laughing and crying]

Xia Yu: "Chen Zhou, don't misunderstand, I just want to repay you."

Chen Zhou looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Repay? Why would you repay me?"

Xia Yu looked at Chen Zhou with deep affection in her peach blossom eyes and smiled sweetly.

She pointed her fair, jade-like finger at her phone.

Chen Zhou looked down and saw that Xia Yu's message was: "Chen Zhou, thank you for taking me in last time."

Chen Zhou chuckled to himself. Just for this?

He jokingly replied, "Why talk about repayment? Let's talk money."

Xia Yu: "But... I can only spend money on my boyfriend."

Chen Zhou: "???"

No, Little Fish, didn't you spend money on me when you treated me to meals and haircuts before?

What are those?

Chen Zhou typed a reply, intending to tease Xia Yu, the metallic keys clicking incessantly.

Suddenly, he realized that Xia Yu had already come up in front of him.

Chen Zhou looked up but did not see Xia Yu's stunningly beautiful face, nor did he see her delicate branches bearing abundant fruit.

Instead, they were blinded by a single card, their vision obscured.

Upon closer inspection, Chen Zhou realized it was a bank card, an ICBC card.

Xia Yu handed the bank card to Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou was confused. "Uh... Little Fish, what do you mean? Are you going to keep me as a sugar daddy?"

Xia Yu chuckled, her playful and charming expression seemingly saying "Okay."

But she quickly shook her head. "No, that's not it."

"Chen Zhou, look at QQ."

When Chen Zhou looked, he saw that Xia Yu had told him the truth.

Xia Yu: "Chen Zhou and my cousin Luo Fei both told me that you want to make a game, but you don't have the money right now; you need 20 yuan."

"It's okay, I have money. This bank card contains all my New Year's money, allowance, and scholarships from childhood, over 50 yuan. That should be enough, right?"

"If that's not enough, I can think of something else."

Chen Zhou: "…………"

He looked at the bank card he was holding in his hand. "50? There's 50 in here?"

Chen Zhou was surprised.

Xia Yu nodded, "Yes! Yes, there is." Xiao Yu'er said sweetly and earnestly.

Chen Zhou made an "uh" sound, thought for a moment, and did not refuse.

I desperately need money!!

Chen Zhou said gratefully, "Little Fish, thank you!"

"This money is a loan from me, and I will definitely pay it back! I will always remember this kindness, and I will definitely repay it in the future!"

Chen Zhou spoke with heartfelt sincerity, expressing his deep gratitude to Xia Yu for her timely help.

At the same time, he secretly resolved that, as the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude!

Today Xia Yu ticks me, tomorrow I'll definitely pfft at her!

Um... something feels off?

At the same time, Chen Zhou stood up, opened his arms, and gave Xia Yu a big hug.

Chen Zhou remained silent.

Xia Yu didn't say anything, she just kept enjoying the long-awaited embrace.

Xia Yu's eyes even welled up with tears.

When I was little, Chen Zhou used to hold me like this too.

After the two separated.

Xia Yu shook her ponytail, and her fair hand waved in response.

Xia Yu said, "Chen Zhou, you...you don't have to pay it back."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou was stunned: "???"

Can someone translate this for me? What does it mean that "you don't have to pay it back"?

Chen Zhou looked at Xia Yu suspiciously, "Little Fish, are you just after my body?"

"You want me to repay you with my body?" Chen Zhou teased.

"!!!"

Xia Yu blushed instantly upon hearing this, and quickly covered her flushed and burning face with her delicate hands.

Xia Yu covered her face with her hands and shook her head repeatedly.

Chen Zhou chuckled and explained, "I was just joking, don't take it to heart."

"I went a bit too far just now," Chen Zhou said with a hint of guilt.

Xia Yu parted the gaps between her slender, fair fingers and peeked at Chen Zhou through them.

Then she shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's not excessive."

Chen Zhou: "?"

Chen Zhou felt that this girl was too charming, too cute, and too kind.

He changed the subject, saying, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, I'm very grateful. But let's talk about something else."

Xia Yu said "Oh," and the redness gradually faded, her fair hand slowly lowering down.

The little fish, who was just "covering its face cutely," is now sitting upright on the sofa.

Seeing that Chen Zhou was lost in thought, Xia Yu's bright eyes darted around, and she took the initiative to find a new topic.

"Hmm..." Xia Yu stammered, shifting her pert bottom to sit closer to Chen Zhou.

"Chen Zhou~"

Hearing Xia Yu's almost coquettish "Chen Zhou~", Chen Zhou almost got goosebumps.

I feel strangely good, what should I do?

Feeling a surge of satisfaction, Chen Zhou asked, "Little Fish, what's wrong?"

Xia Yu parted her red lips slightly and stammered, "My mother is worried about me... I live alone."

"She said she wanted to... to come and keep me company."

"W-What should we do?"

Xia Yu stared longingly at Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou understood. "You don't want your mother to move in with us?"

Xia Yu nodded solemnly, "Yes!"

Chen Zhou offered a suggestion: "Isn't it simple? Your mother said she's worried about you living alone, so why don't you just find someone else to share the house with?"

"Your best friend Xu Lele would be a good match."

Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and she stood up excitedly, imagining her future senior year of high school.

Xia Yu happily gave Chen Zhou a thumbs up, her face beaming with joy.

After a while.

Xia Yu checked the time. "I...I'll go back now."

Chen Zhou hummed in agreement. "I won't see you off, I should go take a shower too."

Xia Yu smiled calmly, gave an "OK" sign, and then left Chen Zhou's house.

Chen Zhou held the bank card in his hand, examined it for a moment, and felt quite disappointed.

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

To my utter surprise, my first pot of gold after my rebirth was given to me by Xiaoyuer.

She is my white moonlight in two lifetimes!

So magical!

Chen Zhou clicked his tongue in amazement. Just as he was about to take a shower, he saw Xia Yu return.

Chen Zhou asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yu looked embarrassed and explained, "The key... I left it inside."

Chen Zhou: "…………"

Xia Yu added softly, "Really, really."

"You're such a scatterbrain," Chen Zhou shook his head helplessly, then quickly smiled and said, "But it's okay, just like last time, stay at my place."

Xia Yu nodded shyly, "Mm."

Chen Zhou asked, "Which room do we stay in?"

Without hesitation, Xia Yu pointed to Chen Zhou's room.

Chen Zhou: "?"

In the end, however, Chen Zhou gave his bedroom back to Xia Yu.

The two washed up one after the other, both wearing Chen Zhou's pajamas, and slept in different rooms.

Chen Zhou had slept during the day and wasn't sleepy at the moment.

Xia Yu also couldn't sleep.

She lay on Chen Zhou's bed, pressing down on his blanket, her slender feet gently twitching in the air.

Xia Yu held her phone, her delicate fingers sending a message to her best friend and strategist, Xu Lele.

One option was to invite her to live with him.

Secondly, I shared with her the little things about myself and Chen Zhou.

Xu Lele, on the other end of QQ, was shocked by Xia Yu twice.

First, she was surprised that Xiaoyuer's mother was so wealthy that she wanted to buy the house Xiaoyuer was renting.

Secondly, I was surprised that Xia Yu had given away so easily!

Xu Lele: "You and Chen Zhou haven't even officially started a relationship yet, you don't even know how far your relationship has progressed, and you've already given him your entire fortune?"

"Little Fish, are you some kind of ultimate love-obsessed guy?"

"Now, immediately, go and ask Chen Zhou what your relationship is!"

Xia Yu: "No, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, Lele."

[Emoji: Cute]

Xu Lele: "Xia Yu! I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Besides, if you don't figure out your place in Chen Zhou's heart, you wouldn't even know if some other vixen stole him away one day!"

Xu Lele was disappointed in him.

Xia Yu was indeed frightened by Xu Lele's "threats".

She bit her red lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally sent Chen Zhou a QQ message.

Xia Yu: "Chen Zhou, can I ask you a question? Right now, what am I to you?"

In the next room, Chen Zhou glanced over and saw that the girl was still thinking about this.

Chen Zhou: "You are my U-Love-Me."

Xia Yu: "Pfft, why did you send me GG lyrics?"

Xia Yu was so happy on the bed that she was kicking her jade feet up and down.

Chen Zhou smiled and asked, "Is Jay Chou's milk tea guy really that old?"

However, on the other hand, I should also make it clear to Xia Yu what I'm thinking.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be good for the little fish to be anxious and insecure.

Chen Zhou: "Haha, okay, Little Fish, I'll answer your question directly."

"Now you are my good friend, my best friend, and you will be my best friend for life."

"But my primary goal right now is to make a lot of money and go to university, so I don't want to be in a relationship right now."

"but!"

"When I start dating in the future, Xia Yu, you will definitely be my first choice."

After reading Chen Zhou's words, Xia Yu immediately beamed with joy, feeling overjoyed.

She was happy for a long time, so happy that even though she was alone in the room, she covered her flushed and hot face.

After a while, Xia Yu replied to Chen Zhou's message.

Xia Yu: "Chen Zhou, you are also my first choice, and my only choice."

[Expression: Well-behaved]

Chen Zhou's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

Chen Zhou: "Okay, thank you."

"Alright, it's really getting late, go to sleep early."

"Good night."

Xia Yu: "Good night. Goodnight."

Chen Zhou didn't understand why Xia Yu had to add the extra character "安" (peace/safety).

What he was thinking was, "Actually, Xia Yu, you are also my only choice for a romantic partner."

You are the only girl I've ever had feelings for.

Past and Present.
