Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

"I...I..."

Xia Xiaomiao glanced at Chen Zhou with a shy expression, but dared not look at him any longer.

She quickly averted her gaze from Chen Zhou, looking shy and bashful.

"I...I'll go get the food."

After saying that, Xia Xiaomiao ran away.

She hid in the kitchen of apartment 402 next door.

Close the kitchen door.

Xia Xiaomiao leaned against the wall, head down, her index fingers tightly intertwined.

She felt as if pink bubbles were rising from every bone in her body.

Chen Zhou said that he and I are now a couple and are dating.

In the future... will we get married? Will we have children?

Xia Xiaomiao felt shy, happy, and excited at the thought of all this.

She remembered clearly that the last time Chen Zhou talked to her about these things was when they were in kindergarten, playing house.

"Xia Yu, let's get married when we grow up."

"Get...married?"

"Yes, just like my parents and your parents, once we get married, we can be together forever."

"Okay, okay, Chen Zhou~, we...we'll be together forever."

"Okay! Let's pinky swear!"

"Okay~"

"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, no changing your mind, or else...?"

"Pig, Pigsy (Zhu Bajie)."

In my memory, there were two little people who made a small promise.

Whenever Xia Yu recalls these childhood memories, a radiant smile appears on her stunningly beautiful face.

But this time, there are many differences.

Chen Zhou and himself are no longer the ignorant little children they were in kindergarten.

This is no longer child's play.

Rather, we are both adults now.

Seriously.

"Hehe~" Xia Yu smiled happily.

At this moment, Xu Lele finished hanging the clothes on the balcony outside the kitchen.

She walked over, her face full of confusion.

"Little Fish, what are you doing? Why are you grinning like an idiot again?"

"Did I... did I just smile like an idiot?" Xia Yu asked, stunned.

Xu Lele nodded solemnly.

"His silly grin is obvious!"

"And besides, you reek of the cloying scent of being in love!"

Xia Yu was embarrassed: "…………"

Xu Lele said confidently, "I bet it's Chen Zhou who's back, right?"

Xia Yu nodded. "Mm."

Xu Le chuckled, "I knew it."

·

Afterwards, Chen Zhou ate lunch in his own house.

The food was all packed up and brought back by Xia Yu from the stir-fry restaurant diagonally opposite the entrance of Haitang Middle School.

The dishes were plentiful and delicious.

In his previous life, every time Chen Zhou returned to Rongcheng, he would make a point of eating at his family's house.

Unfortunately, this "fly restaurant" closed down later.

Chen Zhou ate with great relish.

Xia Yu stood to the side with a smile on her face, looking at him gently. Every now and then, Xia Yu would put some food on Chen Zhou's plate.

"Chen Zhou~, this is delicious, you should eat more."

"Thanks."

Xia Yu smiled sweetly: "Hehe, you're welcome."

Xu Lele: ? ? ?

"You two are really something else. Don't you even want people to eat?"

Xia Yu asked curiously, "Lele, what's wrong?"

Xu Lele kept complaining, "I've already had my fill of dog food!"

Xia Yu: Uh...

Xia Ningning asked, "Sister Lele, what is dog food?"

Xu Lele pouted, "It's like your sister and your older brother. Whenever they're together, they just keep showing off their love, like crazy."

"Completely disregarding the plight of other single people!"

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "That's why it's called dog food, isn't it?"

Xia Ningning suddenly realized, "Oh, I see."

"But I think my sister and brother are very happy together."

"My sister doesn't smile much at home, but she smiles a lot when she's with my brother, and she smiles so happily."

Xia Ningning was innocent and naive, while Xia Yu blushed with embarrassment.

Xu Lele pouted.

However, she also had to admit that her best friend, who was obsessed with love, was indeed obsessed with Chen Zhou, couldn't live without him!

Xu Lele changed the subject, asking, "Chen Zhou, now that you've joined the provincial team, when are you going to participate in the national finals?"

"What are your plans for the next period of time?"

Chen Zhou said, "The national finals are next Saturday, and we'll be flying to Beidu on Thursday."

Xia Yu felt a pang of sadness. "So soon? Only three days left."

Chen Zhou smiled and pinched Xia Xiaomiao's pretty cheek.

He said indulgently, "It's alright, I'll be back soon after this trip to Beidu."

"We'll depart on Thursday, familiarize ourselves with the Peking University informatics competition exam venue on Friday, take the official exam on Saturday, and receive the results on Sunday. Then we'll head home. It'll only take four or five days, unlike this training camp which lasted so long."

Hearing Chen Zhou say that, Xia Xiaomiao was much happier.

She nodded gently, "Hmm~, okay~" Xia Xiaomiao was very obedient.

Meanwhile, Xia Xiaomiao was thinking to herself, "Chen Zhou is going to Peking University on Thursday?"

And it takes exactly four or five days?

Well……

Xia Xiaomiao started secretly plotting some mischievous ideas in her mind.

Chen Zhou continued, "As for the arrangements for the next few days..."

"This afternoon, I promised Ningning that I would take her out to play with her sister."

Xia Ningning clapped her hands happily: "Yay!"

Chen Zhou rubbed her head and said, "Tonight, I still need to go back to school."

"I have to go and report back to Teacher Gao."

"As for starting tomorrow, I will not go to school anymore. I will devote all the little time I have these few days to the company."

Xu Lele exclaimed in surprise, "A company?!"

"Chen Zhou, aren't you going to use these next few days to prepare for the national finals?"

Chen Zhou said confidently, "No need, the national first place is already in my pocket."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lele was utterly speechless: …………

That's just bragging!

Xu Lele looked suspicious and disbelieving!

Although she knew that Chen Zhou's computer skills were not to be underestimated.

Even in this provincial team selection competition, he got a perfect score and ranked first.

But the national finals are attended by top competitors from all over the country, with many experts. Is Chen Zhou really that careless?

Is he really not planning to prepare at all?

Forget about being number one in the country. If you don't even win a gold medal and don't even make the top 50, then you'll really have to suffer the consequences of your own actions!

Xia Ningning couldn't understand what "gold medal" or "first place" meant.

She had absolutely no idea about these things.

Xia Yu smiled, her beautiful peach blossom eyes squinting, gentle yet firm.

"Chen Zhou~"

"I believe in you, you can definitely do it!"

"come on!"

"You'll always be number one in my heart!"

Xia Yu gazed at Chen Zhou, her eyes sparkling with affection and unwavering determination.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Haha, thank you."

"However, more than the National Olympiad in Informatics finals, what I'm really worried about is whether our company's Fruit Ninja game will be a huge hit?"

Xia Yu's face was serious. "It's definitely possible."

Chen Zhou asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Xia Yu said, "Because you created this game."

Chen Zhou made an "uh" sound, then laughed heartily.

Xu Lele complained, "Chen Zhou, listen to this! In Xiaoyuer's eyes, you're practically a superman!"

"They're practically omnipotent!"

Chen Zhou rubbed his nose and said modestly, "Am I not Superman?"

"Am I not omnipotent?"

Xu Lele: "…………"

"No, Chen Zhou, you really are..."

Xu Lele was speechless for a moment, and finally said:

"I have never seen such a shameless person!"

Chen Zhou smiled and said shamelessly, "Well, now you've seen it."

"???"

Faced with Chen Zhou's sharp tongue, Xu Lele fell silent, speechless.

All I could do was lower my head and eat!

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu covered her mouth and smiled, her eyelashes curving upwards.

My Chen Zhou is really amazing!

Xia Xiaomiao thought to herself, "Anyway, I've never been able to out-argue Lele since I was little."

·

That afternoon.

Chen Zhou kept his promise and took Xia Xiaomiao and Xia Ningning out to play.

Just the three of them.

The little girl especially loves the arcade in the mall.

Chen Zhou and Xia Yu then spent the afternoon playing with her.

Around 5 p.m., a Rolls-Royce picked the girl up.

Standing at the entrance of the shopping mall, by the roadside.

The wind was biting cold.

Chen Zhou put his hands in his pockets, feeling a mix of emotions. The child was indeed adorable.

But he has so much energy!

If I get married in the future, I will definitely wait a few years before considering having children.

And one child is enough, uh, two at most!

No more than three!

At this moment, Xia Yu had bought two servings of Orleans spicy chicken cutlet and an iced cola.

She returned to Chen Zhou's side.

She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Chen Zhou, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Zhou turned his head to look at Xia Yu, made an "uh" sound, and then smiled.

Chen Zhou teased, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about having five children innocently."

Xia Yu was even more confused. "What do you mean?"

Chen Zhou shook his head gently.

"It's nothing. It's getting late, Xia Xiaomiao, let's go back to school."

Xia Yu nodded obediently, "Mmm!"

Then, the handsome man and beautiful woman, who looked very well-matched, walked from the mall to the school.

The two stood shoulder to shoulder, sometimes holding hands.

Sometimes they would free up their hands to feed each other.

Halfway there.

Chen Zhou suddenly stopped, and Xia Yu, stunned, also stopped.

"Chen Zhou~, why aren't you leaving?" Xia Xiaomiao asked curiously.

Chen Zhou stared at her beautiful peach blossom eyes and smiled.

Then, Chen Zhou deliberately said, "Xia Xiaomiao, there seems to be something dirty on your face."

"Dirty stuff? What is it?"

Xia Yu rubbed her cheeks with her fingers a couple of times, but found nothing.

She asked Chen Zhou, "Is there anything else?"

Chen Zhou nodded. "There's more."

Xia Yu wiped her cheeks again and asked, "Did you get it on your face while you were eating?"

Chen Zhou nodded. "I think so."

Xia Yu gave a simple "Oh," and then asked, "Chen Zhou, is it still on my face?"

Chen Zhou said, "There are also a few grains of chili powder on your eyelashes, and some around them. They're hard to remove. How about I blow on them for you? Close your eyes."

Xia Yu blinked her beautiful eyes, "Oh~, okay~"

Xia Xiaomiao obediently cooperated with Chen Zhou, slightly raising her chin and closing her eyes.

Chen Zhou looked at Xia Yu's fair and flawless beautiful face and the corners of his mouth curled up.

What a silly goose!

You think you can just do whatever I tell you to do? Aren't you afraid I'll have ulterior motives?

Chen Zhou's eyes were filled with affection and endless tenderness for Xia Yu.

However, this time, he really was plotting something against Xia Xiaomiao!

"Chen Zhou~, didn't you say you were going to blow on... the dirt on my face?"

Not sensing Chen Zhou's movement, Xia Yu slowly opened her beautiful eyes and looked at Chen Zhou curiously.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Close your eyes now."

"Don't open your eyes until I tell you to, okay?"

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Yu obediently closed her eyes again.

Taking advantage of Xia Yu's lack of vigilance, Chen Zhou slowly moved his face closer.

In that instant when the two were only inches apart, he also closed his eyes.

then……

Suppressing his excitement, Chen Zhou moved forward a little further and finally kissed the white moonlight of two lifetimes.

When Xia Yu belatedly realized that Chen Zhou was "bullying" her...

She froze completely; her clever and quick-witted little mind went blank for a moment.

Her fair, jade-like fingers gripped Chen Zhou's clothes tightly.

About ten seconds passed.

Lips... parted.

Chen Zhou took a step back, only to find that there was a resistance pulling him back tightly.

Chen Zhou looked down and saw Xia Xiaomiao clinging tightly to his clothes.

Chen Zhou smiled, then looked at Xia Xiaomiao's expression at that moment. Her face was flushed red, almost as red as a monkey's bottom, and it looked as if smoke was about to rise from her head at any moment.

But this girl still had her eyes tightly closed.

Chen Zhou said gently, "Alright, you can open your eyes now, you little rascal."

Upon hearing Chen Zhou's instruction, Xia Yu slowly opened her moist, hazy peach blossom eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Zhou let out an "uh" and quickly asked, "Xia Xiaomiao, are you crying?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... no, I did it on purpose!"

"But I thought you were willing. Didn't we have an agreement before?"

"Uh... are you regretting it? It's my fault, it's my fault, don't cry, silly."

Chen Zhou couldn't bear to see the people he cared about shed tears.

He frantically and scrambled to coax his girlfriend, but unusually, he seemed a little lost.

Chen Zhou wondered if what he had just done, which had taken away Xia Xiaomiao's first kiss, was too much.

This girl can't accept it?

Xia Yu wiped her moist eyes with her fair, delicate hands, shook her head, and smiled through her tears.

"Chen Zhou~, no, I don't regret it at all, I don't blame you at all."

"I do!"

"Just now, I was just... too excited, so I cried."

Xia Xiaomiao sniffed, looking pitiful and endearing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou couldn't help but let out a soft "uh," wondering, "Excited?" Chen Zhou was puzzled.

Xia Yu didn't explain; this was something she had dreamed of since she was a child.

She simply moved forward a little and threw herself into Chen Zhou's arms again, wrapping her arms around him tightly.

Chen Zhou: "???"

Although Chen Zhou didn't quite understand, he still gently patted Xia Yu's back.

Chen Zhou said softly, "Little fool, we've now fulfilled our promise."

Xia Yu obediently hummed in agreement, "Chen Zhou~"

"We're a real couple now."

Chen Zhou said, "Not entirely."

Xia Yu stepped back a little, looking at Chen Zhou with a blank and adorable expression, "Why?"

Xia Xiaomiao felt extremely wronged.

Chen Zhou said, "We're a couple outside of school, but we wouldn't dare do that inside."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's face immediately lit up with joy. She smiled sweetly and said, "Mmm!"

"Chen Zhou~"

"I know, I'm not stupid. I can't let the teachers find out at school."

"We'll be best friends for life, even though we're still in school."

Chen Zhou nodded with satisfaction, and then affectionately scratched Xia Xiaomiao's delicate nose.

·

It's across the street, separated by a median strip.

Inside a Volkswagen sedan.

Lu Shuren asked in astonishment, "Uh... honey, is this what you just said, that they're best friends for life?"

Gao Qin gritted her teeth: "That Chen Zhou! And Xiao Yu'er! They actually dared to team up and make a fool of me!"

"If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes today, I don't know how long they would have kept it from me!!"

Lu Shuren quickly said, "Wife, don't be angry. You'll only hurt yourself. As the vice principal, I think they're both..."

Gao Qin glared at Lu Shuren. "What do you think you are! You really think you're my boss?!"

"Uh..." Lu Shuren shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, you are the leader, you are the leader."

"So...what do you plan to do with them?"

Gao Qin said, "Process it repeatedly!!"

Lu Shuren: "???"
