Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 184 My Little Lemon

Le Ning knew little about what was going on with Lu Yao, and Xia An was too lazy to listen to gossip about others. After a few words, the two lovers chatted sweet nothings over the phone.

Unlike him, who repeatedly tried to seduce Lin Jiajia by playing taboo games, Le Ning took the initiative to say that she missed him, saying that she missed him so much that she couldn't sleep and was even spacing out when she walked.

Le Ning is like this.

Rather than saying it's bold and straightforward, it's more accurate to say that if you love, you should love boldly.

Xia An liked her sincerity.

Le Ning asked, "What time will you arrive tomorrow?"

Xia An said, "I have to go to the hospital this morning. A high school classmate's father is hospitalized."

Le Ning immediately asked, "Male classmate, female classmate, which classmate?"

Xia An smiled and said, "Chi Ao."

With an "Oh," Le Ning asked, "What's wrong?"

"I went bankrupt, and the stress caused me to have a stroke."

"We should go and take a look. I chat with Niu Fangfang occasionally on QQ, but she didn't mention this to me."

Xia An said, "Both of them are in the hospital. Niu Fangfang is a nice person."

Le Ning said, "Please take good care of it for me."

Xia An said, "He's acting like a little adult. I've got my eye on the Chi family's real estate company; I'm going to go and buy it at rock-bottom prices."

Le Ning laughed and said, "Why is that?"

Just then, Wei Xiaofang heard the noise, pushed open the door, peeked in, and mouthed, "Who is it?"

Xia An grinned and said, "Chatting with your daughter-in-law."

Wei Xiaofang thought it was Xiaoyouzi, smiled, and whispered, "Go to sleep early." She closed the door and turned off the living room light.

Le Ning asked on the phone, "Is that Auntie?"

"Your mother-in-law."

"You hate it."

Hearing the shy laughter, Xia An could even picture the little girl blushing.

He asked, "Have you come up with a renovation plan for the house?"

He told Le Ning to research the styles herself before finding a renovation company.

Le Ning said, "I don't know anything about that. Let's have a professional do it."

After a pause, he asked again, "Why did you leave the bedroom unfurnished by yourself?"

Xia An said, "We spend half of our lives sleeping, so our bedroom should be decorated to our liking. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll make it comfortable and satisfying for you."

Le Ning, seemingly struck by a thought, asked with amusement, "Do you mean installing glass in the ceiling?"

"..."

Many small hotels on the food street have themed rooms, but he never took Le Ning there.

Xia An was taken aback, then asked with a smile, "You seem to know a lot?"

Le Ning snorted, "The other two girls in my dorm are both dating, can't I hear about it?"

Xia An asked, "Has Lady Yue ever heard of the eighteen kinds of weapons?"

Le Ning spat out, "No!"

Laughing, Xia An heard her lower her voice and ask again, "I'm asking you, what if... what if I don't bleed then?"

Xia An didn't react at first, but Le Ning continued, "I saw online that girls riding bicycles are prone to... tearing their... things. I rode a bicycle when I was in junior high... could it be... oh, you get it?"

Xia An suppressed a laugh. Of course he understood, but it was ridiculous. Although it was true, it wasn't the whole story.

Little Yuzu has been dancing for so many years since she was a child, shouldn't she bleed when she's supposed to?

"If you don't have one, you don't have one. It's not like we're in ancient times. Are you planning to use a handkerchief as a cushion?"

Before Le Ning could say anything, Xia An heard Wang Yue's voice and shouted, "Can't you two talk about something college students would listen to?!"

Le Ning kept laughing and said, "Those two went out with their boyfriends again tonight. It's just me and Yueyue in the dorm. Oh, lights out."

Xia An laughed and said, "Tell her that we are both single, have had our ID cards for several years, and are perfectly legal and compliant. Even Qidian (a Chinese online forum) has no right to 'block' us, so why can't we chat? If she can't handle our lovey-dovey moments, just make her wear headphones."

Le Ning giggled and said, "She's already put it on, and I'm going to bed."

Xia An rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you wearing pajamas?" "No, I'm wearing a big T-shirt."

"Not wearing pants?"

"You're wearing leggings. What...are you going to do?"

Xia An asked softly, "Are you in bed?"

"Hmm, I plan to listen to some music and then go to sleep."

Is Wang Yue asleep?

"No, I'm listening to music."

Can you guess what I'm doing right now?

Le Ning whispered, "Yes."

"Really?"

"Ah."

After a long while, Le Ning called out to him in a charming and gentle voice, her tone barely audible, "Husband."

Xia An had long since stopped noticing, because Lu Yao kept calling, persistently despite the line being busy.

Xia An said gently to Le Ning, "My dear wife, you are not a choice, not a discarded flower, not a puppy getting rained on. You are a princess, a heroine, an ever-victorious general, the cat in my arms, and the one and only little lemon girl."

Let's make peace with that painful past that we endured but persevered through, my little girl. We're living in the future.

Xia An knew all too well that she didn't have much of a sense of security right now, and that she would often waver between happiness and melancholy, her heart being torn to shreds by the pain of gain and loss.

Le Ning was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, her voice trembling with tears.

Choking back tears, she asked, "You understand everything, don't you? The books say that people who understand everything are the gentlest and the most indifferent."

"I will always be gentle with you."

"keep your word."

"Calculate."

Le Ning sobbed a few times, then scolded playfully, "Ugh, so annoying!"

"what happened?"

The girl stammered, "It's all your fault..."

Xia An laughed heartily.

It was my first time playing the phone dating game, and it was very exciting. Xia An was a little unsatisfied, all because of that idiot Lu Yao.

When Lu Yao went back to the beginning, he could barely speak, clearly indicating that he had drunk quite a bit.

The microphone could be heard making sounds of wind, traffic, and shouts, clearly coming from the roadside.

Xia An pinched the bridge of her nose and asked, "If you've had too much to drink, just find a hotel to sleep in. Why make such a fuss?"

Lu Yao mumbled loudly, "No...it's nothing! I'm happy, I had a great time drinking with Yangzi and Lao Lu...we're just missing you, Lao Xia, when are you coming back? Let's have another drink, hiccup~"

Feeling a bit annoyed, Xia An disliked this kind of teenage boy's naivety, who would use "being heartbroken" as an excuse to drink heavily at the drop of a hat.

It's utterly useless, and he's especially prone to going crazy when drunk.

In his impression, Lu Yao was always a person with high aspirations but who was frustrated and unfulfilled. During his studies, he was ambitious but lacked practical skills. It wasn't that he was really incapable, but rather that he looked down on this and that.

He's not a bad person; he's intelligent and has ideas, but his execution ability is terrible.

Such people often end up as highly cognitively impoverished individuals, belonging to the small group of people who suffer the most in the world.

Having met her, Xia An knew she would offer advice where she could and help where she could.

When it comes to matters of the heart, it's impossible to say whether it's deep or shallow.

"Let Lu Fei answer the phone."

"Old Lu, Old Lu..."

—Bang! Bang!
"Fuck!"

Three loud noises in succession startled Xia An, who sat up abruptly in bed.

"Hello, hello? Lu Yao?"

Xia An immediately hung up and called Lu Fei.
