Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1440 You should know better than anyone whether my hand is healed or not.
Li Haiming pouted.

Should we still respect her ideas?
If he truly respected her feelings, he should have stopped long ago when she said no so many times, instead of getting increasingly excited.

This clearly shows that this guy is a fraud.

Li Haiming suddenly felt that she had bitten too lightly.

Li Haiming straightened her clothes and was about to get off the bus.

She suddenly thought of something and instantly turned to look at Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen asked innocently, "What's wrong?"

Li Haiming looked her up and down and asked, "You've fully recovered?"

Her gaze lingered on Xu Xiuwen's hands.

Xu Xiuwen laughed, "Isn't it a bit late to be concerned about my health now? After all, we've already done everything we could?"

Li Haiming rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense and answer me!"

Xu Xiuwen nodded and said, "Alright, everything is ready."

Where are your hands?

Xu Xiuwen chuckled mischievously, "You should know better than anyone whether my hand is healed or not..."

His ambiguous tone and the smile on his face made it clear to anyone that there was another layer of meaning behind his words.

Li Haiming instantly recalled the scene of Xu Xiuwen holding her up just now... and the scene of his large hands ravaging in front of her.

Even a healthy person might not have such brute strength.

It's clear that his hand is fine now.

Li Haiming couldn't help but say, "You're so young, you recover so quickly!"

From the time Xu Xiuwen was injured and hospitalized until now, it has been less than half a month.

As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone or tendon.

Xu Xiuwen's hand injury was quite serious, yet it healed so quickly.

The only explanation Li Haiming could think of was that he was a young man.

This reminded Li Haiming that Xu Xiuwen was just a young man who had just turned twenty.

Li Haiming knew that her relationship with Xu Xiuwen was wrong.

She's the type of woman who's older than her.

She usually deliberately ignored this matter.

Over time, they really do forget.

She remembered it again now.

Then she thought about how she had just been fooling around with Xu Xiuwen in the car.

Li Haiming felt instantly ashamed to face anyone.

She dared not meet Xu Xiuwen's gaze, and was even more worried that if she stayed any longer, someone would see her.

So she hurriedly opened the door, got out of the car, left a single sentence, and departed.

Don't contact me for now!

Xu Xiuwen noticed Li Haiming's unpleasant expression, but he didn't know why.

He didn't take the latter's last words to heart, only thinking that Li Haiming was too cautious.

Xu Xiuwen only looked away when Li Haiming's figure had completely disappeared from his sight.

Xu Xiuwen felt around in his pockets looking for his phone, but couldn't find it.

He finally found his phone in the gap under the passenger seat.

This shows that the situation inside the car was quite complicated.

Xu Xiuwen picked up his phone and dialed Huang Bao's number.

After finishing the call, Xu Xiuwen casually opened the window to let in some fresh air.

About five minutes later, Huang Bao returned to the car.

He smelled a strange odor as soon as he got in the car.

Without giving it much thought, he asked, "Mr. Xu, where are we going now?"

It was nearly noon.

Xu Xiuwen should be home for dinner, but he didn't really want to go back to Jiangning Garden at the moment.

He thought about it carefully and said to Huang Baodao, "You drive me to XX school, then I'll get out of the car and you can drive away."

Huang Baodao: "Okay, Mr. Xu."

Ten minutes later.

Huang Bao drove to the school where his girlfriend studied.

Logically speaking, it's a holiday now, and the girlfriends shouldn't be in class.

However, the students 'voluntarily' attended extra classes.

His girlfriend even complained to him via text message about it.

Because of this.

Xu Xiuwen then asked Huang Bao to drive him to the school.

Huang Bao parked his car on the path behind the school.

Xu Xiuwen did not get out of the car immediately.

Huang Bao would not urge him.

Xu Xiuwen sent Chen Shumi a text message, telling her that he had come to find her.

I received a text message less than 30 seconds after sending it.

Chen Shumi asked him where he was in a text message.

Xu Xiuwen typed back: "The back gate of the school!"

"Brother Wen, wait for me, I'll be right there."

There were still 5 minutes left before the end of the last class in the morning.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Putting away his phone, Xu Xiuwen said to Huang Baodao, "Thank you, Brother Huang. You can go back now. I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

This time, Huang Bao suddenly spoke up.

He said, "Mr. Xu, wouldn't it be unsafe for you to be alone?"

Xu Xiuwen was taken aback when he heard this, then smiled.

He looked at Huang Baodao and said, "No need."

Huang Bao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Xu Xiuwen laughed and said, "It's alright. No one should dare to cause me trouble in the short term. Even if they do, I'm not afraid of three or five. At worst, I can just run away!"

Huang Bao felt somewhat relieved after hearing this.

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

"Go eat quickly."

After getting out of the car, Xu Xiuwen glanced at the departing vehicle, then looked around at his surroundings before walking towards the small shop across the street.

Xu Xiuwen bought a bottle of water at a roadside shop. After paying, he stood in front of the counter, unscrewed the cap, and took two sips.

After taking a couple of sips, he noticed that the shop owner was staring at him.

After their eyes met.

The proprietress suddenly asked, "Are you Xu Xiuwen?"

Xu Xiuwen was slightly startled!
He's wearing a celebrity three-piece suit now, with only his eyes showing.

How could someone recognize him?

Xu Xiuwen quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm not, you've mistaken me for someone else."

The proprietress was initially unsure, but after hearing his voice, she became even more certain.

"Oh, you're Xu Xiuwen! I can't mistake you for someone else!"

The proprietress has a rather loud voice.

At that moment, passersby were still walking by outside the store.

Xu Xiuwen was worried that if someone overheard, it would cause a bigger commotion.

He quickly said, "Auntie, it's me, but could you please stop shouting?"

Upon hearing this, the proprietress lowered her voice and said with a smile, "I knew I wouldn't mistake someone for someone else!"

Xu Xiuwen hummed in agreement, then asked, "Are you my fan?"

Normally, people other than fans wouldn't be this familiar with a stranger, right?
Xu Xiuwen believes that even his girlfriend might not recognize him at first glance.

The proprietress shook her head. "No, I'm a fan of your girlfriend."

girlfriend?
Xu Xiuwen instantly understood that she was referring to Bai Yue'er, not Xiao Youran.

Xu Xiuwen said, "I thank you on behalf of Yue'er."

The proprietress asked again, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Xiuwen didn't want to answer, but seeing that the landlady didn't seem like a blabbermouth, he replied, "I came to pick up my sister from school."

"That's it..."

The proprietress was clearly unaware of Xu Xiuwen's family background.

At this moment, the proprietress asked again, "I also watched this episode of Happy Family. Do you and Bai Yue'er really plan to work together again?"

"Ah."

"May I ask when?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head: "It's not confirmed yet, so I can't tell you."

The proprietress was somewhat disappointed after hearing this, "That's a pity."

While the two were talking, the school bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Xu Xiuwen immediately said, "Auntie, I'm leaving now. Please don't tell anyone about what you saw of me here today."

The proprietress immediately agreed.

However, she also made a request.

"Could I have an autographed photo?"

Xu Xiuwen was taken aback.

This request isn't too unreasonable.

Considering she's a fan of Bai Yue'er, getting her an autograph isn't out of the question. Xu Xiuwen calmly replied, "I don't have autographed photos, but an autograph is fine."

The proprietress excitedly replied, "That works too."

Do you have a pen?

The proprietress was taken aback. "You want to give me your autograph?"

Xu Xiuwen instinctively retorted, "Otherwise what?"

The proprietress gave an embarrassed look and explained, "What I want is Bai Yue'er's autograph!"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

Good heavens, I've been deluding myself!
Xu Xiuwen quickly said, "I don't have Yue'er's autograph on me either. How about I have someone send you one later!"

"That's too much trouble, thank you, thank you..." The proprietress kept expressing her gratitude.

"I am leaving."

Xu Xiuwen turned and walked out of the small shop, then headed towards the back gate of the school across the street.

……

After receiving Xu Xiuwen's last text message, Chen Shumi waited for several dozen seconds, and seeing that there was indeed no follow-up.

She reluctantly put her phone away.

There were less than five minutes left before get out of class ended, but those five minutes felt incredibly long to her.

She even wanted to ask to go to the restroom so she could see Xu Xiuwen earlier.

Just as she was hesitating.

Suddenly, Li Ke from behind poked her in the back.

When Chen Shumi turned her head to look over.

Li Ke secretly slipped a note to him.

Chen Shumi silently accepted the note and then spread it out on the table.

The note had a line of neat, small handwriting on it.

The message reads: Did Xu Xiuwen just send you a text message?

Chen Shumi and Li Ke have always been deskmates.

However, Chen Shumi's grades dropped slightly in this monthly exam.

Li Ke's grades, on the contrary, improved.

This is not the main reason why the two seats were separated.

The main reason was that Chen Shuwan asked her younger sister to sit with her.

The official reason was to supervise her studies, otherwise her grades would only get worse if this continued.

Chen Shumi couldn't persuade Chen Shuwan otherwise, so she had no choice but to agree.

As a result, Chen Shumi and Li Ke, this 'young couple', were forced to separate.

However, the two did not stray too far apart.

Li Ke chose to sit behind Chen Shumi.

Back to the topic.

Chen Shumi looked at the contents of the note and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She was well aware of Li Ke's feelings for Xu Xiuwen.

If Li Ke finds out that she is going to see Xu Xiuwen later...

Li Ke will definitely insist on going together.

Chen Shumi is not opposed to being Xu Xiuwen's woman along with her best friend.

If Xu Xiuwen were willing, she would love for the two of them to be together.

That way, she won't have to separate from Li Ke anymore.

But Chen Shumi knew all too well.

How much Xu Xiuwen resisted Li Ke.

On one side is her best friend, and on the other is the man she loves.

Chen Shumi was caught in a dilemma.

But in the end, she decided to consider Xu Xiuwen's feelings.

So Chen Shumi prepared to tell Li Ke that it wasn't Xu Xiuwen who was looking for her.

Just then, Chen Shumi suddenly heard Chen Shuwan speaking in a low voice beside her.

Give me the note.

Chen Shumi was taken aback and subconsciously looked at her sister.

Chen Shuwan continued to look at the teacher on the podium, appearing to be listening attentively to the lesson.

However, her left hand quietly reached out.

Chen Shumi hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to hand the note to her sister.

After taking the note, Chen Shuwan glanced at its contents and then picked up a pen to write.

Chen Shumi looked somewhat confused.

Until the other party handed the note over again.

She looked down and saw another line of neat handwriting: "No, it's a text message from my mother."

Chen Shumi was surprised.

She immediately looked up at her sister beside her.

The latter still listened attentively to the lecture.

It was as if she hadn't done any of this.

Chen Shumi hesitated for a moment, then quickly handed the note back to Li Ke.

Li Ke, sitting in the back row, didn't notice the two sisters' little actions.

After receiving the note, she glanced at its contents and then ignored it.

Since it wasn't a text message from Xu Xiuwen, she didn't want to know its contents.

Chen Shumi spent the last five minutes filled with doubt, worry, and anticipation.

Ring ring~~~
The school bell rang, like a sharp arrow, piercing the silence of the campus.

In an instant, the entire school was in an uproar.

The teacher in Chen Shumi's class quickly stopped lecturing, gave instructions, and then left with her books.

Li Ke stood up first, walked to Chen Shumi's side, and asked, "Are you going back home for lunch or eating at school?"

Before Chen Shumi could answer, Chen Shuwan said first, "Let's go back for lunch."

Li Ke had no doubts. "Okay, let's go then."

Chen Shuwan said again, "Keke, you go first, we have some things to do later."

Li Ke immediately asked, "What is it?"

Although she asked the older sister, she was actually looking at the younger sister.

Chen Shumi's heart tightened.

She felt that her sister's words were probably an excuse, so she didn't know how to respond.

Chen Shuwan, who was standing to the side, calmly said, "I need to go see the teacher later."

"I'll go with you."

Chen Shuwan said calmly, "No need, you can go first."

Li Ke looked at Chen Shuwan, then at Chen Shumi.

Seeing that the latter did not react, she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first."

Chen Shuwan: "Okay."

Chen Shumi: "Keke, see you this afternoon."

"See you in the afternoon."

After Li Ke left the classroom, Chen Shumi immediately turned to Chen Shumi and asked, "Sister, are you really going to find the teacher? And why did you ask me to lie to Ke Ke just now?"

Chen Shuwan glanced at her and shook her head, saying, "I'm not going to see the teacher. I'm doing this because I don't want you to put Brother Wen in a difficult position."

Chen Shumi remained silent, a sentence lingering in her mind.

indeed.

They all knew very well that Xu Xiuwen had been avoiding Li Ke and was unwilling to accept her feelings.

Seeing her sister remain silent, Chen Shuwan reminded her again, "I won't stop you and Brother Wen from getting together, but you need to be clear-headed. If you keep helping Li Ke, I'm afraid you'll anger Brother Wen in the end. What will you do if he breaks up with you?"

Chen Shumi shook her head and said, "Brother Wen wouldn't do that, Sister, don't say that about Brother Wen."

Chen Shuwan bit her lip and said, "I also think he wouldn't, but he likes you, so you can't disregard his feelings. I think you shouldn't interfere in Li Ke's affairs anymore."

Chen Shumi remained silent.

Chen Shuwan felt somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

She simply stopped talking.

Chen Shumi suddenly remembered.

She slapped her thigh and said, "Sis, I have to go. Brother Wen is still waiting for me."

Upon hearing her sister mention Xu Xiuwen, Chen Shuwan asked, "What did Brother Wen say in the text message he just sent you?"

Chen Shumi hesitated whether to speak or not, but ultimately decided to.

The two sisters agreed that they would never hide anything from each other.

Chen Shumi said with a smile, "Brother Wen came to find me. He's waiting for me at the back gate of the school."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuwan felt a pang of envy.

She forced a smile and said, "That's good news, then you should go quickly."

Chen Shumi was taken aback. "Sis, aren't you coming with me?"

Chen Shuwan asked, "What would I do with you?"

Chen Shumi asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about me, go see Brother Wen."

Chen Shumi did want to spend time alone with Xu Xiuwen, but she couldn't bear to leave her sister alone.

She thought for a moment and said, "Sis, Brother Wen definitely wants to have dinner with me. Why don't you come with us?"
