Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 1495 Stop being so lewd! You Ran is still here!
Such comfort did not improve Xiao Youran's mood.

She couldn't help but wonder what Cheng Lu would do in this situation.
Would she, like me, make wild suspicions without any evidence?

Or will she pretend not to know, observe silently, look for evidence, and finally expose the lie?

Xiao Youran believes that Cheng Lu will most likely take the second approach.

At that moment, she felt inferior to Cheng Lu.

Actually, this feeling isn't something I just started having today.

She had this idea a long time ago.

When Cheng Lu was Xu Xiuwen's girlfriend at the beginning, he only had an ambiguous relationship with her.

This was the 'result' she obtained by relentlessly pursuing him, taking advantage of her childhood friend status.

On the other hand.

When she became Xu Xiuwen's girlfriend, she not only failed to stop others from getting close to Xiao Xu.

In fact, there are so many girls around Xiao Xu that he can hardly count them all.

In terms of protecting love and safeguarding Xiao Xu, she was indeed not as good as Cheng Lu.

If Cheng Lu knew what Xiao Youran was thinking at this moment, she would definitely find it funny.

It wasn't that she protected it well.

However, at that time, Xu Xiuwen had not yet become that promiscuous.

Or rather, he didn't dare at the time.

But after he broke up with Cheng Lu, got together with Xiao Youran, then broke up with Xiao Youran again, got together with Song Siyu, and then got together with both Xiao Youran and Song Siyu at the same time...

His appetite is getting bigger and bigger!
That's why he's becoming increasingly promiscuous.

It's not that Xiao Youran didn't do something well.

It is the result of many things coming together.

Back to the topic.

Xu Xiuwen offered a few words of comfort, but to no avail.

Xiao Youran's mood remained neutral throughout.

At this time.

An Shishi carried the fruit platter back to the living room.

The plate contains sliced ​​pears.

An Shishi smiled and said, "I've washed the pears. Try them and see if they're sweet."

Xiao Youran looked at the fruit platter in front of her, feeling inexplicably irritable.

Doesn't An Shishi know that pears shouldn't be cut before eating?
This is called separating (or dividing) the pear!
It has a bad connotation.

Or was she doing it on purpose?

Xiao Youran felt extremely ashamed as soon as the thought crossed her mind.

She's started making baseless assumptions about others again.

Is it possible that she will never be able to change this habit?
Xiao Youran's mood worsened further.

Xu Xiuwen, who had been watching her every move, immediately asked with concern, "You Ran, what's wrong?"

Xiao Youran suddenly asked in return, "Xiao Xu, I feel like a failure."

"Huh?" x2
Not only Xu Xiuwen, but even An Shishi expressed her doubts.

Why do you say that?
Xiao Youran explained, "I know I shouldn't be suspicious, but I can't help but overthink things every time..."

Hearing her say that, Xu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled.

He took the girl's hand and said softly, "It's only natural, and I think you're doing much better than before. You've made progress, haven't you?"

Xiao Youran looked up at Xu Xiuwen, her eyes slightly moist, "Really?"

Xu Xiuwen's eyes were full of doting affection. "Of course it's true."

Xiao Youran was about to cry.

An Shishi, who was standing to the side, watched this scene with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

It wasn't that she didn't care about Xiao Youran, but rather that she felt the latter was a bit pretentious.

It's not like Xiao Youran is a new person who's been suspicious.

Hasn't she always been like this?

An Shishi still remembers that Xiao Youran had tested her many times to see if she liked Xu Xiuwen.

Seeing that Xiao Youran was in a bad mood, Xu Xiuwen continued, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Shishi."

When Xu Xiuwen mentioned her, An Shishi knew it was time for her to step up.

An Shishi sat down next to Xiao Youran and put her arm around his shoulder, saying, "Youran, I don't think you need to overthink it. I don't think you're being paranoid. It's just that this guy likes to eat the grass near his own nest..."

Grass growing near one's nest?
This time, it was Xu Xiuwen's turn to have his lips twitch.

Xiao Youran was also stunned.

Neither of them expected An Shishi to suddenly say such a thing.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Xiao Youran looked at Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen glared at An Shishi.

An Shishi looked at Xiao Youran.

a moment.

The three of them suddenly burst into laughter.

Xiao Youran chimed in, "Shishi, you've hit the nail on the head! That brat Xu is always going after the girls around me, it's outrageous!"

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

An Shishi smiled and said, "Youran, but you don't need to worry about me, because I don't like people my own age. I prefer mature and stable men!"

……

Xu Xiuwen replied irritably, "Do you have a father complex?"

Xiao Youran was very worried that An Shishi would be angry.

What Xiao Xu said went a bit too far!
However, An Shishi was not angry.

She scoffed, "Only mature and stable men know how to take care of a woman's feelings, unlike big boys who are incompetent, petty, and have terrible tempers. I can't stand them..."

Xiao Youran was amused by her words.

She said, "Shishi, don't generalize and condemn all people. There are still people your age who are very mature."

Song Siyu said, "I haven't encountered that yet. Let's talk about it when I do."

Xu Xiuwen immediately replied, "Am I not steady enough?"

An Shishi glanced at him and said, "You? I didn't realize."

“An Shishi!” Xu Xiuwen snorted and glared.

An Shishi shrugged. "This is my home. If you glare at me again, you can leave!"

Seeing that Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi were about to start arguing, Xiao Youran quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker.

She first pulled Xu Xiuwen aside and gave him a look.

Her eyes seemed to say, "Xiao Xu, don't hold it against Shi Shi."

Then she said to An Shishi, "Shishi, I hope you can meet the right person soon."

"I hope so," An Shishi said indifferently, seemingly not holding much expectation.

Xu Xiuwen snorted.

Seeing this, Xiao Youran was completely relieved.

It seems that Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi are indeed not in that kind of relationship.

She's really overthinking it.

Little did they know, their performance just now was nothing more than an act.

Although neither of them explicitly hinted at it, the two were so familiar with each other that they knew how to cooperate with just a glance.

The two of them pretended to be at odds, which completely dispelled Xiao Youran's doubts.

The three then ate pears and chatted.

The three of them tacitly avoided discussing matters of the heart.

When the two women started talking about a topic he wasn't particularly interested in, Xu Xiuwen pretended to get up and said, "You two talk, I'll look around."

An Shishi warned, "The innermost room is my sister's and my room, you'd better not go in!"

Xu Xiuwen said, "Am I crazy? Why would I go into your room?"

An Shishi snorted, "Who knows?"

Xu Xiuwen shook his head and remained silent, his face expressionless. After Xu Xiuwen walked away, Xiao Youran whispered, "Shishi, don't be like this."

An Shishi snorted, "If you're going to take your boyfriend's side, then you'd better not say anything."

The more An Shishi expressed her dissatisfaction with Xu Xiuwen, the more relieved Xiao Youran felt.

She was actually in a pretty good mood.

Xiao Youran said, "Shishi, you know that Xiao Xu isn't that kind of person..."

An Shishi said, "Who knows? I used to think he was a devoted and good man, but later I found out he was cheating on me with several women and was a complete womanizer!"

Xiao Youran whispered, "Actually, Xiao Xu didn't do it on purpose..."

An Shishi opened her eyes wide and said, "You're still going to explain for him?"

Xiao Youran: "..."

Seeing Xiao Youran's embarrassed expression, An Shishi sighed and said, "Never mind, let's not talk about him."

Xiao Youran immediately smiled.

Xu Xiuwen was already extremely familiar with An Shishi's family.

He pretended to look around for a while, then returned to the girls.

After he sat down, he asked, "What are you talking about?"

An Shishi ignored him.

Xiao Youran smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, we're talking about 'Golden Wedding'."

In the days before smartphones and tablets were widespread, female college students were clearly not the main audience for dramas.

Even so, the fact that the two were able to talk about the TV series "Golden Wedding" shows just how popular the show is.

Its momentum is no less than that of "Coffee Prince," and may even surpass it.

This is not to say that the two dramas are of very different quality; it's mainly because of their subject matter.

"Golden Wedding" is a period family drama that everyone can watch, while "Coffee Prince" is an idol drama that young people prefer.

Xu Xiuwen said, "I've heard about this drama too. It has high ratings and is very popular..."

Xiao Youran smiled and said, "This drama is so good, I liked it after watching only one episode."

An Shishi suddenly asked, "Which had higher viewership ratings, 'Golden Wedding' or the drama starring Bai Yue'er?"

Xu Xiuwen was taken aback, then thought for a moment and replied, "That should still be Yue'er's drama, but it's hard to say what will happen later."

An Shishi nodded.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Youran couldn't help but say, "No wonder Bai Yue'er was so popular before!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuwen said, "That's because my novels are well-written!"

Xiao Youran immediately said, "Yes, Xiao Xu, you're the best."

"Haha..." Xu Xiuwen laughed heartily.

An Shishi rolled her eyes at him, then said to Xiao Youran, "Don't praise him so helplessly, or he'll get arrogant. If you ask me, Bai Yue'er is the main reason the drama is so popular. So far, every drama she's filmed has been a hit..."

Xu Xiuwen: "..."

He didn't argue with An Shishi, but instead showed an expression of disdain for arguing.

Xiao Youran was initially worried that Xu Xiuwen would confront An Shishi, and then the two of them would start arguing again.

Fortunately, Xu Xiuwen didn't say anything.

As Xu Xiuwen's girlfriend, Xiao Youran naturally wouldn't agree with An Shishi's words.

Xiao Youran analyzed seriously: "Shishi, what you said is not rigorous enough. Every drama Bai Yue'er has filmed is an adaptation of Xiao Xu's novels, and Xiao Xu's novels have been very popular online for a long time. So I also think that Bai Yue'er is benefiting from Xiao Xu's popularity."

An Shishi said, "Maybe."

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen said, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"What kind of bet?" An Shishi didn't back down; instead, she asked defiantly.

Xu Xiuwen said, "Our company has two dramas coming out soon. One of them doesn't star Bai Yue'er as the female lead, and there isn't even a character like her. We'll see if the drama becomes a hit. If it's popular without Yue'er, it means the novel is well-written; otherwise, it means Bai Yue'er is an excellent actress, and my company and I are benefiting from her success... Are you willing to take the bet?"

An Shishi said, "Of course I dare! Why wouldn't I dare?"

"Okay, what should we bet on?"

"you say!"

Xu Xiuwen said, "If I lose, you can make any request you want, but if you lose, you have to wash my socks for a month!"

An Shishi's eyes widened immediately.

Xiao Youran was really afraid that An Shishi would be angry, but the latter held back.

An Shishi said, "Okay, I agree."

"A word is settled!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Xu Xiuwen turned to Xiao Youran and said, "Youran, you are the witness! If anyone loses and denies it, you will be responsible for condemning them!"

An Shishi chimed in, "You Ran, you be the witness!"

Xiao Youran looked troubled, but eventually agreed.

"OK then."

……

Xiao Youran said, "I'm going to the restroom!"

Xu Xiuwen immediately asked, "Do you need me to come with you?"

Xiao Youran shook her head, "No need!"

After she finished speaking, she became a little worried that Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi would argue, so she reminded him, "Xiao Xu, give Shishi a break~"

Xu Xiuwen hummed in agreement.

Xiao Youran was relieved.

She got up and walked towards the bathroom.

She had just turned her back to the two of them when An Shishi reached out her hand.

Her hand happened to rest on Xu Xiuwen's thigh.

Xu Xiuwen immediately removed An Shishi's hand and glared at her.

An Shishi snorted: "What a guy who has the desire but not the guts!"

Xu Xiuwen pretended not to hear.

Instead, Xiao Youran suddenly turned her head and asked, "Did anyone speak just now?"

"No!" x2
Xu Xiuwen and An Shishi spoke in unison.

Xiao Youran had a vague feeling that something was strange, but she didn't think much of it.

After she disappeared from their sight.

Xiao Youran immediately sat down next to Xu Xiuwen.

Xu Xiuwen feigned impatience and said, "Don't get so close!"

Upon hearing this, An Shishi said, "Then I'll go tell Youran about our relationship right now."

Although Xu Xiuwen knew she wouldn't actually say it, he was still startled.

When he saw An Shishi's smug look, he knew he had been tricked.

Without any hesitation, he pushed An Shishi down onto his lap and then slapped her buttocks.

He slapped three times in a row.

Xu Xiuwen released the girl and warned, "If you dare to cause trouble again, you'll get a good spanking."

After he finished speaking, An Shishi did not make a sound.

The girl was still lying on his lap.

Xu Xiuwen helped the girl up.

He looked closely and noticed that An Shishi's eyes were glistening with moisture.

Xu Xiuwen was stunned.

He glanced instinctively in the direction of the bathroom, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't be horny! You Ran is still here!"

An Shishi bit her lip, looking at Xu Xiuwen with seductive eyes.

This made Xu Xiuwen very eager to see it.

An Shishi is indeed quite good at seducing people.

In this respect, Guo Shasha is not as good as her.

Currently, Guo Shasha mainly relies on her physical attributes.

Unlike An Shishi, although she doesn't have the looks of a vixen, she exudes charm in every gesture.
