Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 496 What are you grinning about?
Bai Qingxia tilted her head, her gaze sweeping past Ruan Yueru and landing on Lu Yuanqiu.

Lu Yuanqiu also looked at her, and immediately channeled Er Kang's spirit, stretching out his right arm towards Bai Qingxia as if there was an ocean between them, even though they were separated by a person's distance: "Xiaxia, Xiaxia, how can I live without you!"

Bai Qingxia was amused. Then, a "whoosh" came from the other side, and Zhong Jincheng moved a chair to the empty seat next to Lu Yuanqiu: "It's no big deal, just let her sit here again."

In the past, Bai Qingxia might have stood up directly because she had to sit next to Lu Yuanqiu at a large dinner table, which was a result of her social anxiety.

But now that they're all pretty familiar with each other, and her social anxiety is no longer the dominant factor, she's used to being considerate of the feelings of people she knows well. So she didn't get up. If Ruan Yueru had come over seeking comfort, and she got up and sat down next to Lu Yuanqiu, Ruan Yueru would feel neglected. Bai Qingxia understands that feeling.

So she observed Ruan Yueru's expression gently, without saying a word. She knew that Ruan Yueru would probably tell her what had happened later, and Lu Yuanqiu would handle it. All she needed to do was listen quietly.

Listening itself is a form of friendly expression.

Seeing Cao Shuang sitting there looking completely bewildered, Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but laugh and ask Ruan Yueru, "What's wrong with you two again? Why did you suddenly move your chairs over here? Did Cao Shuang bully you?"

Cao Shuang over there shrugged and shook his head frantically; it was clear he was completely bewildered.

“It’s nothing…” Ruan Yueru lowered her head and ate her rice.

Actually, Shuang Ge was acting strangely, but she was too embarrassed to say it. Why had her relationship with Shuang Ge changed so much over the past year...?

The girl's heart seemed to be separated by a thick barrier with sieve-like holes; she could sensitively feel the goosebumps rising on her skin, but she couldn't feel the overwhelming love coming from beside her.

When will love be able to see through the sieve? Seeing her eating with her head down, Lu Yuanqiu looked up at Cao Shuang and mouthed a comforting sentence: "It's okay, she's still young, take it slow."

Cao Shuang was so anxious that she couldn't understand lip reading, and kept saying "Huh?" while frowning.

Lu Yuanqiu looked down and sent him a message.

Lu Dasheng: I talked to her last time, and my feeling was... after all, she's still young, only in her second year of high school. She's been like a boy since she was little, and she's a very straightforward girl. It's normal that she can't quite grasp things. Don't push too hard, take it slow.

Cao Shuang: I just pinched her cheek and said she was cute! [Crying][Crying] Qiu-ge, don't you often do this to Bai Qingxia? Isn't this normal?!
Lu Yuanqiu: Bai Qingxia isn't some kind of straight woman... Ruan Yueru's material is titanium alloy, it could be used as aerospace material.

"You could say you've fallen for a normal person..." Lu Yuanqiu thought to himself.

"boom!"

Gao Qiang suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table.

Everyone looked up at him.

Gao Qiang, drunk, pointed ahead and said, "Zheng Yifeng, you're right! But I just don't like you! I've liked you for a long time! I wish... I wish the water Chen Fei bought at the sports meet was for me..."

Zheng Yifeng calmly picked up some food and smiled, "It's true that you can only speak your mind when you're drunk. It's good to say it out loud."

After Gao Qiang finished speaking, he lay down on the table and fell asleep, but continued to mumble something indistinctly.

Lu Yuanqiu went over and patted him awake, fearing that he too might be reborn.

After returning from the pedestrian street, Zheng Yifeng first went to the hotel where Su Miaomiao was staying.

We agreed to move in today.

When Zheng Yifeng arrived at the hotel's first floor, he saw Su Miaomiao checking out at the counter with her suitcase.

Turning around and seeing the boy, Su Miaomiao sighed and muttered, "The more I think about it, the more inappropriate it seems..."

Zheng Yifeng smiled and took her suitcase and bag, saying, "I've already checked out of the hotel. Or would you like to stay at Zhong Jincheng's place?"

“Why can’t it be Lu Yuanqiu?” Su Miaomiao retorted as she walked.

"Bai Qingxia is staying in his room." Su Miaomiao didn't continue to refute. She had been very annoyed lately and always wanted to find someone to argue with, but she was also a little tired. It was probably because she had argued too fiercely with her parents last time.

She exhaled, paused at the doorway, then turned around and punched Zheng Yifeng's arm several times without warning, the noise drawing the attention of everyone near the counter who turned to look towards the doorway.

"Does it hurt?" Su Miaomiao asked after finishing her massage, her eyes filled with resentment.

Everything is because of this "annoying" person in front of me.

Zheng Yifeng suddenly understood why Lu Yuanqiu liked to act like a jerk to Bai Qingxia. So this is what it feels like to be hit by a girl you like.

"I'm asking you a question, are you stupid?" Su Miaomiao said, punching him on the shoulder again.

This punch actually made Zheng Yifeng laugh.

The boy didn't say anything, but happily raised his head, picked up his suitcase and bag, and walked towards the hotel entrance. Even though it was afternoon, he seemed to be going out to greet the rising sun, and even his steps were a little wider. Su Miaomiao frowned at him strangely and followed behind him.

"Were you drunk with them this morning?"

"No."

Su Miaomiao blinked a few times, but she was too tired to continue the topic. She asked about the important matter: "What did you say to your mother?"

"I haven't said yet, I'll tell you when we meet."

Su Miaomiao thought that Zheng Yifeng was afraid that if he told his stepmother in advance, she would have time to refuse, and it would be difficult to refuse her if they met in person.

She still remembers this stepmother. Because of Zheng Yifeng's situation, she made a special trip to meet with this stepmother during high school to have a heart-to-heart talk.

I heard that the stepmother changed her opinion of Zheng Yifeng later on. If that's the case, Su Miaomiao thinks the stepmother is actually quite nice.

"So what are you going to say when we meet later?"

When they reached the roadside, Su Miaomiao continued to ask questions. Zheng Yifeng raised his hand to stop a taxi. When he turned his head, he realized that Su Miaomiao was wearing makeup under the sunlight.

I vaguely remember that Su Miaomiao has been going makeup-free these past few days, not really in the mood to put on makeup, but she made a special effort to do so today.

"What are you grinning about?" Su Miaomiao was speechless. She put her hands on her hips and looked at him, questioning him.

Zheng Yifeng smiled and said, "I used to be nervous about bringing you to stay at my house, but now I feel a little excited and happy."

"..." Su Miaomiao was taken aback after hearing this. She turned around, crossed her arms with a strange expression, and then looked down at her toes. Her slightly uneasy mood was relieved, or rather, pleased, because of Zheng Yifeng's words.

She continued, "I just asked you a question. How are you going to tell your mother that I'm going to stay at your house?"

Zheng Yifeng: "Just tell the truth."

Su Miaomiao stared at him blankly for a moment, then asked, "What...do you mean by 'real'?"

Zheng Yifeng: "What do you think?"

"..." Su Miaomiao gritted her teeth angrily, pointed at him, and revealed a fierce expression that she had never shown to her students when she was a high school teacher: "I'm very irritable right now, don't keep me in suspense."

When Zheng Yifeng saw the car arrive, he walked over there, with Su Miaomiao following behind.

"So, you were doing your master's degree in Zhucheng and coincidentally became my advisor. This time you came back to Lucheng for a visit, but you didn't have a place to stay. You can't stay in a hotel for half a month, so I suggested that you stay at my house temporarily."

That's really true... Su Miaomiao muttered to herself.
