Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 12: Extinguish your heartbeat before you can hug

"No."

Jiang Yun refused without even thinking.

As soon as she said this, she immediately looked up at Xu Zhe'an, and seeing that there was no expression on his face, she quickly lowered her head again.

"Really... no."

The voice was surprisingly quiet, and with only the dim light from the corridor at the door, it was impossible to see her nervous expression.

Xu Zhe'an leaned down until his eyes were level with Jiang Yun's lips, and looked up into her eyes.

There is a bit of struggle in the awkwardness and shyness.

"My dear sister Yun, can you just stay here for a few days? I'm really worried about you being alone here."

"Oh, don't say it, I...I just can't do it anyway."

Jiang Yun waved her hands repeatedly.

"I know you have concerns, but my parents will definitely agree, so you don't have to worry about that."

Xu Zhe'an pushed the door open while it was unlocked and patiently explained:

"It's far and dark here, and it's really not safe to come back at night. And I really need your help. My house is close to school, so wouldn't you be able to study better with the time saved?"

"..."

Jiang Yun never expected him to do this, and her mind was in a mess.

Xu Zhe'an didn't urge him and waited for a minute in silence.

"I will protect myself. Thank you for your kindness. It's really not necessary."

Jiang Yun stopped struggling, raised her head again and said with a smile.

"Sister Yun, you're so smart. They probably have tons of spare keys, and they can't change the locks right now. It's obvious that Guishou has followers. What if he sends someone to knock on your door every day? There's no room for negotiation on this."

Xu Zhe'an took her hand and walked into the house.

"Go pack your clothes and bring a few extra sets."

After saying that, he pointed to the clock on the wall. It was 11 o'clock.

Jiang Yun felt Xu Zhe'an's firm attitude of not giving up until he achieved his goal, and knew that it was useless to refuse, so she simply returned to her room.

There was a rustling sound inside, and Xu Zhe'an put her books back into her schoolbag and still placed her schoolbag in front of her.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yun came out carrying a black cloth bag and locked the door.

"I've brought all the books. Let's go."

Xu Zhe'an reached out and took the bag from her hand, feeling it was light.

It seems that I am only planning to stay for two days. It will be fine as long as I can go back. I will talk about the rest later.

After turning off the power and water valve, Jiang Yun checked carefully again before going out.

Seeing that Xu Zhe'an only had one hand free, he suggested:

"I'll get it myself. You're so tired today."

"Is this considered heartache? How about I carry you on my back too? Maybe we can run back home in ten minutes."

Xu Zhe'an dodged her hand that was trying to take something and joked.

"shameless…"

Jiang Yun slowed down and lifted the bottom of the bag full of books.

"Xu Zhe'an."

"uh-huh?"

"Thank you so much, uncle and auntie, for your kindness. I..."

When Xu Zhe'an heard these words, he felt overwhelmed and chose to interrupt her directly:
"Again, can you change the subject? I'm also saving myself by helping you."

"Save...yourself?"

Jiang Yun was a little confused about this statement.

In my previous life, the first three months after she passed away were really hard to accept.

After thinking about it, I even suspected for a moment that it was because of my confession. After all, the accident happened just two days after I confessed my feelings.

It is said that time is a good medicine that can cure the pain of lovesickness in the world.

But gradually I found it difficult to concentrate and I always suffered from insomnia at night.

After diagnosis, it was found to be a severe mental disorder.

At first I could fall asleep after taking the medicine, but later I increased the dosage and it didn't help at all.

So if I can save you and keep you well, I should be able to live a happy life ten years from now.

Xu Zhe'an decided to tease her: "I mean, as my best friend of the opposite sex, you can accumulate good karma. If I can't get a wife in the future, we can still use this good karma to get together, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun's angry voice came from behind him.

"Who, who wants to get together with you, hooligan!"

"So you are the gangster lady?"

"Bah, big hooligan."

"Shh~ No disturbing others, the soundproofing is not good."

Xu Zhe'an reached behind him with his free left hand, took away Jiang Yun's hand that was supporting the bottom of her schoolbag, and quickened his pace to walk out of the community.

There are no taxis here at night, so the two of them can only walk, and it takes at least twenty minutes to walk home.

The summer in Jiangcheng is really hot, but fortunately there is a breeze blowing from the river at night, which prevents the two people who are in a hurry from sweating profusely.

Xu Zhe'an was so elated at this moment that he couldn't help but hum a song:

So you are the luck I want to keep most
It turns out we were so close to love

That for me...

Jiang Yun was listening with fascination when the voice suddenly stopped.

"Why don't you sing?"

"Sister Yun, do you smell it?"

"What do you smell?"

Jiang Yun sniffed hard, and the wind brought only the stench of sewerage.

“The taste of freedom.”

"It's inexplicable, it stinks, yue~"

Jiang Yun quickly covered her mouth and nose, and cast a resentful look.

Xu Zhe'an looked very pleased. So many things happened in just one day.

Walking past the gate of No. 1 Middle School, there are still a few students running home along the Hundred Steps. Under the heavy pressure of the college entrance examination, everyone is working very hard.

Fortunately, it is 2013 now, and I can still find a decent job when I graduate.

If it is a few years later, the market will be saturated and opportunities will become fewer, and the pressure will be greater than it is now.

Less than 500 meters away from Moxiang Book House, Xu Zhe'an saw Jiang Yun sweating profusely and wanted to cheer her up.

"Want to listen to some music? I'll give you a chance to order some music and celebrate your freedom."

"Listen! Is 'Aries' okay? I haven't finished listening to it..."

Jiang Yun answered excitedly, the anticipation in her eyes almost overflowing.

"Then I'll pick up where I left off last time?"

"Good~"

Xu Zhe'an cleared his throat and sang softly from where he had been before, then he remembered the lyrics that followed:
Youth is absurd, but I still learn to be crazy
This sound is too loud, this joy is too ideal
You have to extinguish your heartbeat before you can hug...

After hearing the second half, the joy on Jiang Yun's face disappeared instantly. A sour feeling surged in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

"Xu Zhe'an..."

Hearing her voice mixed with grievance, Xu Zhe'an stopped singing.

"What's wrong? Even if it sounds good, there's no need to get so excited that you cry."

He took out a tissue from the side of his schoolbag and wiped her gently.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Yun shook her head and asked the question in her heart:

"Why do I have to extinguish my heartbeat before I can hug you? This sentence... is so suffocating."

Ok?
I like to sing this song simply because it sounds good, and I’m an Aries, so why would I think about it so much?
But having said that, I do feel a little bit.

We couldn't be together in the previous life, but today:
Car accident—heart stops—go back to the past—hug each other, it matches perfectly!
"It's just a story in the book. I'll tell you when I have time."

"All right…"

Jiang Yun rubbed her face and tried to calm down.

Walking into the residential complex where Xu Zhe'an lives, all four buildings are brightly lit.

Most of the school district houses are rented out to high school students, who are still writing furiously at this time.

"Aunt and Uncle, are you sure I'm not a bother?"

　Actually, I don’t know what to say, but I don’t want to leave this place empty, so I repeat asking for everyone’s support every day. I’m tired of it myself, so I’ll write some of my thoughts here later.
