Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 29: Moon in the Water's Eyes

"That's good, so you don't have to accuse me of cheating you later."

Zhong Yuan put her things back into the closet and left.

From the time I can remember until now, my mother has never been reliable for most of the past ten years.

For example, if you can’t remember the school start date, you will rush to send yourself to school a day in advance.

But if something really happens, I will do my best.

Xu Zhe'an couldn't help laughing when he thought of this. It took him a few minutes to calm down before leaving the room.

After coming out, the first thing I looked at was the balcony.

Jiang Yun's condition was a little strange, and it was rare to see her scratching her head.

Xu Zhe'an didn't speculate too much. He took out two bottles of yogurt from the refrigerator and went to the balcony. He dragged a stool to the opposite side of Jiang Yun and sat down directly, leaning on the table and looking at her.

"Why are you so sad? Didn't the food taste good today?"

"No."

Jiang Yun had her hair loose, and because she was looking down at a book, the hair on both sides completely covered her small face.

Xu Zhe'an adjusted the angle to ensure he could see her eyes, and said half-jokingly:
"Would you like me to get a mirror so you can see for yourself?"

"Don't look at me... go read."

Jiang Yun put down the pen in her hand, quickly covered her face, and said shyly.

"No, being depressed is contagious. I need to lie down for a while."

There was a sense of laziness in Xu Zhe'an's words. He pretended to close his eyes, but actually left a crack open to observe Jiang Yun's reaction.

It was fine half an hour ago, but it became like this in a moment. There must be something wrong.

Jiang Yun called out tentatively:
"Xu Zhe'an?"

“Hu~Hu…”

"Pretend, pretend more."

Jiang Yun scolded him, then sat up straight, pushed all her hair back from her shoulders, and continued:

"Look, I'm fine."

Xu Zhe'an opened his left eye and slowly looked up, and found that Jiang Yun was still in a bad mood.

"It's almost funny, not even a smile."

"..."

Jiang Yun was silent for a moment, then replied weakly:

"I can't laugh. I just felt a sudden sense of powerlessness when I first started reading."

Xu Zhe'an understood immediately after hearing this:
Because the pressure is too great and the nerves are always tense, if at some point you realize that your efforts are not proportional to the rewards, your emotions will collapse at any moment.

Once a feeling of powerlessness arises, you will feel that all previous efforts have been in vain, and you will deny and doubt yourself. Naturally, the result of internal friction will not be very good.

"Let me see what's going on."

Xu Zhe'an stood up and moved the chair to sit next to Jiang Yun.

"Sister Yun, turn around and look at me. You can't see clearly with your back to the light. I learned some solutions from my mother."

Jiang Yun heard what he said and did as he said.

In the light, her face looked a little haggard, and her slightly drooped eyes were full of fatigue and weakness.

"Is it because the math test was too difficult that you were discouraged?"

"A little bit, I can't explain it clearly, and I can't figure it out."

Jiang Yun said this and sighed.

I don’t know how she managed to get through those hard times in the past.

Xu Zhe'an rarely encounters such moments, even during the critical period of starting a business, because his ambition is not that big, he takes each step firmly before moving forward.

Seeing that he was distracted, Jiang Yun waved her hand in front of him and said with a hint of gratitude:
"Just let me relax for a while, don't worry about me."

"Yes, we have to."

As Xu Zhe'an spoke, he began to put away the review materials on the table.

"What are you doing? We need to watch it later."

Seeing this, Jiang Yun quickly stopped it.

Xu Zhe'an did not stop.

"It's so hard, what are you still looking at? I'll take you to a fun place."

He moved quickly and neatly arranged the books and materials for the two people on the table.

"I'll go find something, it'll be ready soon."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the study. His father usually organized things at home, so everything had a fixed place and was easy to find. He took two small folding stools and immediately returned to the balcony.

"Come with me and get some fresh air."

"where to?"

"Secret base."

Xu Zhe'an took the yogurt that he had not had time to drink, pulled Jiang Yun and walked out.

"Are you going to the river so late?"

Jiang Yun even walked a little listlessly.

"You'll know soon."

The two entered the elevator and Xu Zhe'an pressed the 10th floor button.

Their building was one of the first to be built, and it was only built to the tenth floor at that time.

Xu Zhe'an's secret base is the rooftop. When he was young, he always liked to go there to watch the stars and feel the breeze.

The elevator quickly reached the tenth floor.

“When you feel tired, empty yourself and let all the stress go away.”

Xu Zhe'an pretended to be pitiful and told Jiang Yun about his experience:

"And this thing is really contagious. I just looked at you twice and I felt a little powerless."

"right…"

"Hey, Sister Yun, I don't blame you, don't apologize. What I mean is, if you have any worries or pressures, you can tell me. I have a strong self-healing ability."

Xu Zhe'an explained with a smile.

"I trouble you every time. What if one day you can't absorb it?"

Jiang Yun had a lot of worries. She was afraid that she would be too annoying and make him dislike her, which would lead to their relationship becoming distant. That was not what she wanted.

I was also afraid of not being close to him, and then on some ordinary day, there was someone new around him...

There is no solution to the girl's worries.

I am afraid to say it out loud, and I am also afraid that the other party will misunderstand me.

The only answer is herself.

Xu Zhe'an pushed open the door to the rooftop, took out a small flashlight to illuminate the ground, and instructed Jiang Yun:
"There's a step, don't fall."

Arriving at the center of the rooftop, Xu Zhe'an asked Jiang Yun to turn on the light and put the stools in place before answering her question:

"If I were full of negative energy, there would probably be very few positive people left in the world. So there's no need to worry. Besides, we still have Sister Yun."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Yun turned off the power of the flashlight, but it did not make her unable to see.

The full moon in the sky is very bright, and its light shines wherever it can reach.

Xu Zhe'an looked towards Jiang Yun in the moonlight and said slowly:
"Actually, I understand. You've been holding back a lot of energy, wanting to break free from your old cage and get better opportunities with your own hands to repay the favors you owe."

"But, Sister Yun, you overlooked one issue."

"what is the problem?"

Jiang Yun suddenly felt confused.

"In this world, the hardest thing to repay is a favor. Even if you can't repay it, you still can't let it go."

Jiang Yun agrees with Xu Zhe'an's point of view, but not completely.

"Maybe, but I have to try my best, at least to get to the point of equality first."

Xu Zhe'an decided to give an example to support his point of view.

"If the person who helped you is also a good person, when you repay him, he will naturally think you are a sincere person. The next time you are in trouble, he will lend a hand as well. So, it is too difficult to repay him."

"You're putting too much pressure on yourself and wearing yourself out early. How can you talk about rewards later? Everything should start with yourself."

After listening to this, Jiang Yun nodded thoughtfully, then looked up at the sky.

She is like a star in the vast sea of ​​stars, and once the sun comes out, she disappears without a trace.

It's not just her, but thousands and thousands of people like her who only have their own value at the right time and place.

Xu Zhe'an pulled a glass of yogurt from his pocket, inserted a straw, and passed it to Jiang Yun. "Maybe what I'm saying isn't very pleasant, but it's also my personal experience. Being too obsessed with something will only limit you."

Jiang Yun lowered her head slightly, took a sip of yogurt and said:
“Very good, very insightful.”

The tone was more relaxed than at home.

"Sister Yun, come here."

"Hmm? What?"

Xu Zhe'an directly said what he had already thought of:

"Because I think you're important, I'll start by explaining the rationale, but it's too dry and sounds like just that. The specific steps you take must be based on the actual situation."

Every time this guy finishes preaching a great truth, he takes the opportunity to take advantage of others.

Jiang Yun was very familiar with his approach, but still asked:

"And then? Why are you so close?"

"Give you a shoulder to lean on and some comfort."

Xu Zhe'an put on a playful look.

Jiang Yun directly refused:
"No, why do you always like to take advantage of me?"

"I don't have any, and I don't know who is in the taxi..."

When this matter was mentioned, Jiang Yun hurriedly covered Xu Zhe'an's mouth.

"Don't say it, it was an accident."

"Woo..."

"Promise me not to mention this before I let you go."

After Xu Zhe'an nodded, Jiang Yun immediately let go.

"Sister Yun, have you washed your hands?"

"Beat you!"

"It doesn't matter if I didn't wash it. It's already happened. I'm in good shape."

Xu Zhe'an shook his head helplessly and sat closer to Jiang Yun, leaving a distance of less than 5 centimeters.

He reached out his hand to Jiang Yun's left side and gently pushed her head onto his shoulder.

"It's okay to rest for a while. It will help you relieve the stress in your heart."

"I…this isn't good."

Jiang Yun didn't know how to express herself clearly, so she could only let him push her head until it was actually close to him.

"Shh~"

Xu Zhe'an gestured and whispered:
"Don't talk, just listen to me tell you a story."

"Last time I talked about the gray rabbit. This time I'm going to tell you about something that I have a vague impression of, but that I recall from time to time."

"I told you last time about the kindergarten I attended. It's very close to your current home. When I was five, I was in the senior class. On Children's Day, the kindergarten held an event with performances."

"I can't remember exactly how many programs there were, but the one that left a deep impression on me was that I recited poetry, and there was a little girl who also recited poetry."

Having said that, Xu Zhe settled down.

"Don't misunderstand Sister Ha Yun. I'm not obsessed with it. Just listen to me."

Jiang Yun didn't say anything. She rubbed her head gently on Xu Zhe'an's shoulder, indicating that he should continue.

"Her recitation of 'Quiet Night Thoughts' was very emotional, and could be described as eloquent and moving. After finishing the reading, she naturally received a certificate and a red flower."

"What I remember most vividly is her story about how she had a loving father and mother who came from a remote village to Jiangcheng and bought a house nearby. It made many children cry, and I was no exception."

"But after school that day, my parents had to work overtime and had to wait a little longer. I accidentally saw the girl and a man, probably her father, both of them crying very hard."

"I was young and didn't understand why she was like that, but she must have been sad. I happened to have a few candies on me, so I mustered up the courage to walk over and give them all to her."

Xu Zhe'an stopped and faintly heard a hint of sobbing.

"Sister Yun? Are you crying?"

"What you said... is a bit sad."

"Crying is also a way to release stress. Cry if you want to."

Xu Zhe'an was afraid that his big movements would bump her head, so he slowly took out a tissue from his pocket with his right hand and held it in his hand.

"The story is over?"

"I always have a feeling that the gray rabbit doll was given by that little girl."

"why?"

Jiang Yun's heart tightened and she asked.

Xu Zhe'an patiently explained the reason:

"The little red flowers given out in kindergarten have 10 petals. They say it symbolizes perfection and hopes everyone will develop in an all-round way. The little red flower embroidered on the rabbit's tail is exactly the same."

The reason I made this connection was because I had this strange feeling when I saw the candy wrappers in Jiang Yun’s pencil case that day.

But Jiang Yun said that she went to elementary school in her hometown, so this fate should not be with her.

"So that's how it is. Maybe it doesn't matter?"

"It doesn't matter, so it doesn't matter. I wish her all the best today, tomorrow and in the future."

"Oh…"

At this moment, Jiang Yun's heart was beating like a deer.

When I first touched his shoulder, I felt it was hard, but after getting used to it, the only feeling I had was security.

Xu Zhe'an also enjoyed the atmosphere at this time.

"Why don't you just skip reading tonight and stay a little longer?"

"Um... Auntie's place..."

Jiang Yun was worried that Zhong Yuan wouldn't be able to find them and would be very anxious.

"In my family, if you lost something, my mom would go look for it, but if I lost something, she might realize it later. It really happened when I was a kid."

As Xu Zhe'an spoke, his tone became helpless.

"She won't care if we disappear together, so the more unrestrained you act in my house, the more my mom likes it."

"It can't be done."

Jiang Yun raised her left hand and made a "yeah" gesture to the moon.

"Just do what you want."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, he raised his right hand like Jiang Yun and made the same gesture as her.

There is no quiet time in the city at night. The streets below are bustling with traffic and the sound of horns is endless.

Despite this, there was no way to disturb the two people at the moment.

They automatically blocked out the noise from the outside world and immersed themselves in their own world.

About half an hour later, Jiang Yun felt a little hot, and she thought Xu Zhe'an was feeling the same, so she asked softly:

"It's hot, I'll get up first."

"it is good."

Xu Zhe'an held her head and slowly lifted it off his shoulder.

"The yogurt is still a little cold, drink it up."

He held the box in his left hand.

Jiang Yun drank it all in two gulps and smiled with satisfaction.

She slowly stood up, stretched her arms, and walked to the rooftop wall.

"Xu Zhe'an, come and take a look."

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Zhe'an put the garbage bag on the stool before walking over.

"Look at the big moon on the river."

Jiang Yun pointed down excitedly. The view from Xu Zhe'an's balcony wasn't as good as here, and she sighed with emotion:
"There are unique views when you climb high and look far into the distance. Some of the things in the book are truly true."

Xu Zhe'an suggested:

"I can bring you up here anytime you want to see it later."

As he spoke, he got some inspiration:
"Sister Yun."

Jiang Yun turned her head, her eyes full of smiles.

"Ok?"

"There's a moon on the water, and there are stars in your eyes."

　I'm late again... Sorry.
