Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

"Instant noodles? What instant noodles?"

"It's nothing, haha, you misheard."

Gu Wang pinched the boy's waist, implying that he should be more perceptive.

however……

"Why the hell are you pinching me? Yao-ge is eating instant noodles every day now, and you're the one who buys those noodles for him, aren't you?"

Gu Wang: "..." I really want to kill this bastard, what should I do?

Listening to the two's inexplicable conversation, Jingran looked completely bewildered.

"You just said... Bei Yao eats instant noodles every day?"

"No, no, he's talking nonsense." Gu Wang gave a forced smile and winked at the boy.

Unfortunately, the boy completely ignored him and argued back, "Damn, how did I talk nonsense? Everyone in our class knows that Yao used two months' worth of allowance to buy shoes for his boyfriend! And..."

He frowned, leaned closer to examine it, and asked, "Is your eye twitching?"

Gu Wang: "Damn it!"

Gu Wang, unable to bear it any longer, kicked the boy in the butt right in front of Jing Ran, sending him crashing into the classroom.

Jingran: (ﾟДﾟ)！

Seeing Gu Wang's violent behavior out of the blue, Jing Ran trembled and swallowed nervously.

Gu Wang felt a little embarrassed and forced a smile.

"Hey, you're looking for Yao-ge, right? Wait here for a bit, I'll go call him for you..."

"Isn't he on the rooftop?" Jingran blinked. "I'll go find him myself."

"Ugh, wait..."

Before Gu Wang could finish speaking, the figure in pink shoes turned and ran away.

……

Upon arriving on the rooftop, Jingran immediately spotted that familiar figure.

Bei Yao was sitting on a swing, slurping his favorite braised beef noodles with relish.

The noodles were probably freshly soaked and still piping hot. Bei Yao took a bite and blew on it twice, then took another bite and blew on it twice more. His nose was red from the cold, and the misty steam obscured most of his handsome face, making it impossible to see his expression.

Jingran stood there, stunned, staring silently at Beiyao, while the boy's words echoed in her ears.

"Who in our class doesn't know that Yao used two months' worth of living expenses to buy shoes for his boyfriend?"

He glanced down at the little pink shoes on his feet, pursed his lips, and felt a mix of emotions.

No wonder Bei Yao hasn't been eating with them lately.

No wonder the instant noodles at the school store were inexplicably sold out.

So that idiot who "ate all the instant noodles to buy a gift for his girlfriend" was none other than...

It was Bei Yao.

"Pfft...cough cough cough!"

A sudden cough interrupted Jingran's thoughts.

Bei Yao ate too quickly and accidentally choked on his noodles, then looked down and coughed violently.

Although few people go to the rooftop in the dead of winter, he was still on edge, always worried that he would be caught secretly eating instant noodles. So every time he ate, he wolfed it down, skipping the step of chewing slowly, with only four words in his mind – quick and easy.

As a result, things went wrong today.

It was also thoroughly translated.

Bei Yao coughed so hard he could barely breathe, so he had no choice but to put the instant noodles on the ground and gulp down several mouthfuls of mineral water from the bottle next to him.

The mineral water was very cold, and the alternation between hot and cold stimulated Bei Yao to stop coughing.

He started hiccuping.

The repeated spasms of his diaphragm were driving Bei Yao to the brink of collapse. He hesitated between finishing the instant noodles or going hungry to lose weight.

Just as he was caught in a dilemma and at a loss, something suddenly touched his shoulder.

Bei Yao quickly turned around.

The next second, he met Jingran's big, dark, bright eyes.

"Baby... hiccup, baby." Bei Yao hiccuped and stood there like a wooden stake, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes.

What I feared most came to pass.

"What are you doing here?" Jingran asked knowingly.

"I..." Bei Yao moved aside listlessly, blocking the instant noodles on the ground. "I was admiring the scenery."

"Scenery? Where is it?" Jingran stood on tiptoe and pointed into the distance. "Is it that bare tree branch?"

"..."

Bei Yao lowered his head, not daring to utter a sound.

Jingran took a deep breath, expressionlessly stuffed the lemon tea and ham sausage into Beiyao's hands, then went around behind him and picked up the instant noodles on the ground.

"Is this all you're having for lunch?"

"hold head high……"

"Didn't you say you were going to accompany Gu Wang?"

"He... had something come up unexpectedly." Bei Yao chuckled awkwardly, licking his lips sheepishly.

"Oh, really?" Jingran raised an eyebrow and sat on the swing.

Holding the drink and the grilled sausage, Bei Yao felt uneasy, and even his hiccups stopped without him realizing it.

Jingran stirred the instant noodles in the fork a couple of times, looking thoughtful.

After a while, Bei Yao plopped down next to him and tentatively asked, "Baby, why did you suddenly come here?"

Jingran did not answer, her eyes fixed on the ground, her toes touching the ground as she swayed the swing.

Bei Yao panicked even more now.

"Say something!"

"If you don't say something, I'm going to kiss you..."

As Bei Yao spoke, he leaned down and pressed down on her. Jing Ran was startled and quickly covered his mouth.

"Bei Yao, I have a question for you."

"Um?"

"Did you buy these shoes with two months' worth of living expenses?"

Jingran shook the little pink shoe on her foot, her expression very serious.

Upon hearing this, Bei Yao's heart skipped a beat, and then he shook his head without much confidence.

"You're still lying to me?" Jing Ran tightened her grip on his fingers. "Your classmates all told me."

"..."

Who is so wicked!

Bei Yao smiled on the outside, but cursed inwardly.

"You bought all the instant noodles at the convenience store, didn't you?"

"..."

Jing Ran's hand was still covering Bei Yao's mouth, and she didn't intend to make him clarify. After all, there was now both witnesses and physical evidence, and Bei Yao had no choice but to admit it.

"You idiot..." Jingran muttered, looking down as if preparing something.

Bei Yao dared not make a sound, nor could he. So he just stared at Jing Ran, carefully observing his micro-expressions, considering whether to stuff the sausage into his mouth to make him happy.

But then, in the next second...

Without warning, Jing Ran moved her right hand away, hooked her arm around Bei Yao's neck, and gave him a light, fleeting kiss on the lips.

Bei Yao froze, remaining motionless with the lemon tea in his left hand and the large grilled sausage in his right.

Seeing that he didn't react, Jingran kissed him a second time.

Beiyao couldn't hold on any longer.

"Xiao Jing, you..."

"I've made up my mind."

"What?"

"Your probation period is ending early."

Jingran stared into his eyes, speaking each word clearly.

Bei Yao thought he had misheard, his eyes widened, and his face was filled with disbelief.

"You mean, we now..."

"Yes," Jingran nodded, "You're my boyfriend now, are you happy?"

Happy?

I'm not just happy, I'm absolutely bursting with happiness!

Coming to his senses, Bei Yao grabbed Jing Ran's arm, shoved the sausage and lemon tea back into his hands, and, disregarding the fact that he had just eaten instant noodles, cupped Jing Ran's face and kissed him.

This kiss came on strong, as if emotions that had been building up for a long time were finally being released. Bei Yao pressed Jing Ran down on the swing, and his actions could almost be described as rough.

"Ugh, ugh..." Jingran waved the sausage in her hand, making incoherent noises.

Bei Yao understood immediately, snatched the sausage and stuck it into the instant noodle cup, and put the lemon tea on the ground as well.

Now that their hands were free, their kisses became even more passionate.

Jingran's lips were very soft, so Bei, the old driver, Yao, simply treated them like jelly, sucking and biting them. When the passion was high, he would even stick his tongue in to tease her, making Jingran blush.

After an unknown amount of time, Bei Yao finally released him.

Jingran's lips were all red from being sucked, and he was slumped on the swing, looking just like a wayward teenager forced into the sex industry.

Looking at Bei Yao again, I felt as excited as if I had just taken three pounds of Red Bull.

"How...how did you suddenly agree?" Bei Yao held Jing Ran's hand, playing with his fingers affectionately. "Although I knew you couldn't escape my grasp, I didn't expect it to be so fast. This morning you said the trial period would be a month, not a single day less."

Jingran: "Seeing you hiding here eating instant noodles, it's so pitiful..."

Bei Yao: "Hehe, is that so? I thought you'd think I was childish and extravagant..."

To spend two months' worth of living expenses to buy a pair of shoes would have been something only a fool would do in Bei Yao's eyes. If someone around him had done that, he might have even mocked them.

But now, he himself has become that fool, and he's even enjoying it.

"You really are immature and extravagant," Jingran said with a hint of reproach. "Two months' worth of living expenses, and you've spent it all in one go. What are you going to do then?"

"We'll deal with the future later. A living person won't die from holding in their pee. Look at me, I'm doing just fine, aren't I?"

"That's because you've only been eating it for a few days. If you ate it for two months straight, I don't believe you'd still be this energetic."

Jingran frowned, a barely perceptible pity rising in her eyes.

"I wish I hadn't worn these shoes; maybe I could have sold them to someone who needed them at the original price..."

"We've already bought it, why think so much? As long as it makes you happy, your husband is willing to sell everything we own."

Upon hearing this, Jingran kicked him in the shin. "I don't need you to sell everything you own to be good to me. That would put too much pressure on me..."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. From now on, just tell me what you want and what you don't want. As long as it's within my power, I'll do my best to satisfy you."

……

It was very cold on the rooftop. The two cuddled together for a while, but they couldn't stand the cold wind any longer and shivered as they returned to the teaching building.

The instant noodles and sausages were almost cold, and Jingran threw them into the trash can without asking Beiyao's permission.

It's a bit wasteful, but it's better than getting an upset stomach.

Bei Yao: "Class starts in a few minutes. You can go home now. Remember to wait for me in the classroom after school, and I'll take you home."

Jingran bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

Bei Yao: "What's wrong?"

Jingran: "I'm hungry..."

He left in a hurry at noon and didn't eat enough, so his stomach feels empty now.

"Shall I go with you to the convenience store to buy some snacks?"

"No," Jingran shook her head, tugging at Beiyao's sleeve, "Let's go out to eat."
