Rebirth caused a scandal, but accidentally saved Bai Yueguang

Chapter 62: Just One Step Away

"You? Writing songs?"

When Qin Jiayue heard Xu Zhe'an's words, her face was full of disbelief, and then she burst into laughter.

"Is it my memory, or are you kidding me? Chinese was your weakest subject in junior high, right? Let me take a look at it first."

"..."

Xu Zhe'an didn't expect that Qin Jiayue was exactly the same as before, and she used the stereotype as soon as she opened her mouth.

Turning his head to look at Jiang Yun next to him, she had already put down her phone and wanted to open her mouth to help explain. Xu Zhe'an thought it was unnecessary, so he waved his hand back, signaling her not to speak, and then said to Qin Jiayue:

"I haven't written it yet, but I have this plan. I haven't visited your uncle for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find the way when the time comes, so I asked in advance."

"Oh my, I never could have guessed that you're already thinking about making money at such a young age."

Qin Jiayue roughly guessed Xu Zhe'an's intention and joked.

"Not really. I just wanted to test the waters."

Xu Zhe'an didn't take the teasing seriously and just responded calmly.

Qin Jiayue showed curiosity and put away her smile.

"What should I say? We'll see."

If you haven't seen someone for a long time and you don't want to start a conversation, there won't be much to say beyond a few pleasantries.

The same goes for Xu Zhe'an. His attention is now entirely on Jiang Yun.

He only had a few feelings of gratitude left towards Qin Jiayue. He was grateful that she remembered him when he was at the lowest point in his previous life and wanted to take him abroad to recuperate.

But every time I see her, I remember what she said at that time: "He has been gone for four years, what's the point of still thinking about him?"

We had a very intense argument that time, so she didn't contact me for the next three years. The only time she came back was to visit my parents.

Three years later, I still feel that my persistence at that time was not wrong. After all, Jiang Yun is rare.

Even though they don't have that many memories together, the fact that she secretly hid all her belongings of 5,000 yuan in her schoolbag is enough to be remembered for two lifetimes.

In the afternoon, Xu Zhe'an was thinking about things and did not join in the tea party with Jiang Yun and Qin Jiayue.

However, this time was a bit unexpected and very different from the previous life. Qin Jiayue did not say anything to compare who was better, but just asked about the future plans. Her ideal was the same as before, which was to travel around the world.

At 4 o'clock, she asked to go home. Jiang Yun wanted to keep her for lunch, but she refused. Before leaving, she left her contact information for the two of them, saying that if they needed to travel together or have other fun things to do, they could contact her.

"You're in a good mood."

When Xu Zhe'an saw Jiang Yun walking towards him, he smiled and said.

She was smiling from ear to ear and seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Did I behave well today?"

Even the tone of his question contained a hint of seeking credit.

"Come and sit down first."

Xu Zhe'an patted the seat next to him, looking mysterious.

Jiang Yun stood opposite and shook her head repeatedly.

"I won't. You're going to do something bad again."

There was a coffee table between them, so he couldn't pull her over directly. Xu Zhe'an could only watch her first.

She stuffed the note Qin Jiayue gave her into her pencil case, then sat down there with a provocative smile.

How could Xu Zhe'an tolerate Jiang Yun's appearance? While she closed her eyes and shook her head, he quickly stood up and walked to her side, holding her shoulders.

"You really like to laugh today, why don't you smile?"

"You're cheating and crossing the line!"

Jiang Yun replied unconvinced.

Xu Zhe'an leaned over to her, pinched her chin with one hand, and looked at her carefully.

"You performed well, acting like a hostess. However, I don't like your provocative attitude. What should I do?"

"Of course it's cold. Who told you to always try to bully me? If you had praised me first, maybe the result would have been different."

Jiang Yun put her hands on her hips and pouted as she accused.

Xu Zhe'an nodded thoughtfully and asked curiously:
"Tell me, what's the difference?"

"Did not say."

"It must be said."

"Humph."

Jiang Yun turned her head to the other side proudly, trying to avoid Xu Zhe'an's gaze.

"That tickled me."

"If you dare, I will bite you to death."

"up to you."

Xu Zhe'an said indifferently, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he directly picked her up and sat her on the sofa.

Seeing her gritting her teeth and wanting to bite herself to death, she immediately advised:
"Don't break your teeth."

"You're really annoying..."

Jiang Yun put her arm around Xu Zhe'an's neck, struggled to get up, and kissed him on the cheek with a pout.

"To make up for how cruel I've been to you these past two days, can you praise me now?"

What an unexpected surprise.

Xu Zhe'an suppressed his laughter and praised:

"Excellent performance, understanding of hospitality, generous and polite..."

"Okay, okay, the more you talk, the more fake it becomes."

When Jiang Yun heard these words, she interrupted him immediately.

She hadn't been able to be intimate for nearly two days, and she was actually a little fed up. If there was no step, she would create one herself. She had wanted to do this at noon, but guests arrived. Her heart and eyes were full of Xu Zhe'an, and she no longer cared about being reserved.

Until it got dark again, the two of them, after dinner, lay on the balcony railing, quietly enjoying the evening breeze from the river.

"Do you have a white shirt?"

Jiang Yun suddenly asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhe'an remembered the clothes Zhong Yuan had prepared for him, and she had also prepared some for Jiang Yun.

He pretended to be confused when an idea struck him.

"Are you planning to take wedding photos?"

"hehe."

Jiang Yun rolled her eyes, totally unable to understand Xu Zhe'an's outspoken behavior.

“That’s what it’s used for.”

Xu Zhe'an immediately made up for it.

"You can wear your own clothes for the exam the day after tomorrow. I just want to ask you, do you want to wear them?"

Jiang Yun had heard from Zhong Yuan a long time ago that each of them should wear one, and she was thinking of wearing them together during the two days of the college entrance examination.

"I'll have to think it over carefully."

Xu Zhe'an turned around, with his back to Jiang Yun, and laughed secretly.

"Don't even think about it, just try it on and see for yourself."

Jiang Yun said anxiously, gently pushing Xu Zhe'an's back with both hands.

"I'm more inclined to think you'll wear a skirt for the exam. I've never seen one before."

Xu Zhe'an grabbed Jiang Yun's hand and immediately put forward his own opinion.

"Besides, it's sunny and 7 degrees on the 40th. I'm worried you'll get heatstroke if you wear a long-sleeved shirt."

Jiang Yun was immediately unhappy when she heard this and asked:
"Weren't you holding my hand? You said yourself that I was cooler and wouldn't get a heat stroke, definitely not."

The skirt is nice, but it only makes sense to save it for more important times.

"Okay, okay, I'll try it."

Xu Zhe'an let go of Jiang Yun's hand, walked quickly into the room, found a white shirt, put it on in a few seconds, and buttoned it as he walked out.

When I came out, Jiang Yun was not on the balcony.

His first reaction was a little bit of joy, thinking that she must have really changed into a skirt.

I have to say, if she really wore a skirt and put a flower in her hair, I guess no one would be able to resist her at first sight.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of a door opening from inside.

Xu Zhe'an turned around and waited for Jiang Yun to come out.

First, she saw a hand grasping the wall, but from that glance, she could tell she was also wearing a white shirt. She poked her head out and spotted Xu Zhe'an standing in the middle of the living room. After confirming what she was wearing, she came fully into his sight, turned around, and asked:
"How about it?"

She never wore a shirt, but seeing other people outside, they all tucked their shirts into their pants, which didn't look very confident.

Xu Zhe'an took two steps towards where Jiang Yun was standing and looked at her carefully.

"It fits perfectly, but there's one thing that's not perfect."

In fact, it fits her perfectly, and under the light you can even see the small straps on her shoulders.

"where?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun quickly lowered her head to check.

Xu Zhe'an came up to her and without saying a word helped her pull out the hem of her dress which was tied too tightly.

The whole process went smoothly, and it was only after it was over that Jiang Yun reacted.

"You can't tie it too tight, leave some space, otherwise..."

Xu Zhe'an didn't know whether he should say this or not.

"Huh? Why don't you say anything?"

Jiang Yun didn't notice anything, she didn't really understand these things.

Besides wanting to wear the same clothes as him, another important reason was that I thought he would look very handsome in clothes like a shirt.

Xu Zhe'an held Jiang Yun's shoulders, leaned over and whispered:

"Because it's a bit big, it will be very obvious if you stretch it too tight, so I have to be more careful next time."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun's face turned completely red like a ripe tomato, and she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Xu Zhe'an quickly grabbed Jiang Yun's clenched fist and pulled her into his arms.

"Calm down, calm down, I'm telling the truth."

"I'm not saying I blame you, just don't be so blunt."

Jiang Yun opened her fists, released the strength in her hands, pressed her forehead against Xu Zhe'an's chest, and muttered softly.

"It's good. I'm good-looking and nothing I wear can hide my good looks."

Xu Zhe'an touched Jiang Yun's face with his fingers, which were already a little hot.

After all, I had always seen her wearing loose clothes before, and it didn't make any difference if her school uniform short-sleeved shirt was one size larger. It was a refreshing change for her to wear tight clothes for the first time.

Jiang Yun broke free from Xu Zhe'an's embrace, raised her head and pleaded in a tender voice:

"Help me tie my hair in a way that suits you best and goes with this outfit."

"Okay, go sit outside."

Xu Zhe'an pushed Jiang Yun to the balcony, took off the hairband, picked up the comb and combed her hair a few times.

At the same time, I explained some little knowledge to her:

"Actually, a ponytail is enough. Wearing a shirt is to look smart, so it's totally fine to be simple and neat."

"No, I tried it in my room and it didn't look good."

Jiang Yun directly denied it.

"Listen to you, don't move."

Xu Zhe'an used to be very disdainful of his mother's excuses, saying that combing her hair was for advance exercise.

Now it seems that it is true.

Ever since she did Jiang Yun's hair once, she never touched a comb again.

After about ten minutes and three attempts, they finally came up with a look that both of them were satisfied with.

"Would you mind working me up a little more the morning after tomorrow? That's all."

Jiang Yun was very satisfied.

Xu Zhe'an took the mirror away, came to her, squatted down and asked:
"What's the reward?"

"How about I prepare a gift for you and give it to you after the exam?"

Jiang Yun put her forehead against Xu Zhe'an's head and spoke softly.

"It's something to look forward to, but the gift is a bit superficial."

"You don't even know what things are, how can you be superficial?"

Jiang Yun said, poking Xu Zhe'an and admonishing:

"You have to learn to be content. Do you understand?"

"Rather than a gift, I think it would be better if you gave me yourself."

Xu Zhe'an wanted to become an official couple with Jiang Yun after the exam, so that he wouldn't have to be so timid as he is now.

"Dream on, no thanks. Oops~"

"You brought it upon yourself this time."

Xu Zhe'an put his hand on Jiang Yun's waist and tickled her.

The noise of their fight grew louder and louder, and in just a moment, it ended with Jiang Yun begging for mercy.

We reviewed for another two hours, leaning on each other and looking at the stars for a while, and time passed quickly.

On the 6th, there is only one day left until the college entrance examination.

Today was different, the two of them didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi returned home in the morning and bought a lot of fresh meat and vegetables at the market.

He said that after they had a good rest, they would cook a meal at home in the evening to encourage Xu Zhe'an and Jiang Yun.

The daytime time is basically used for review. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi have already started preparing food.

Jiang Yun wanted to help, but failed.

After all, although Xu Weishi's cooking skills were not as good as hers, the taste was still good.

Xu Zhe'an was not so lucky and was ordered around to do this and that.

He went out for a quick visit and ended up running into Lin Songyuan who came to see him specifically.

It was not for anything else, just because of the exam on the 8th. I mainly wanted to ask Xu Zhe'an whether I should confess my feelings and how to implement it in detail.

He didn't have any ideas. He just wanted to take things one step at a time. The best thing would be to confess his feelings first. If he was rejected, it would be even better. Then he could do more ideological work on Lin Songyuan and help him get over it as soon as possible.

Because Li Fei would most likely not agree and would try to lure Lin Songyuan, so the events of the previous life could not be allowed to happen again.

The conversation lasted a little longer, so when I returned to the gate of the community, I saw Jiang Yun leaning on the railing, supporting her head and looking at her eagerly. She missed her like crazy when she was out of sight.

When Xu Zhe'an got home, he found that there were not just one person waiting, but three people waiting for the seasonings he bought. After getting the things, Xu Weishi and Zhong Yuan continued to do their own things.

Hearing Jiang Yun chattering about how the store was less than 15 minutes away from home, Xu Zhe'an laughed non-stop.

"I was only out for 50 minutes, that shouldn't be the case."

"If it's half an hour I won't say anything, but if it's too long I'll be really worried."

Jiang Yun glanced towards the kitchen and saw that Zhong Yuan and Xu Weishi were nowhere to be seen, so she took Xu Zhe'an's hand again.

"How can you go to college like this? You won't sneak up the stairs to see me when we stay in the dormitory at night, right?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm just worried about your safety and checking if everything is intact."

Jiang Yun scolded.

"Sister Yun."

Xu Zhe'an shook his head.

"Remember to find a better excuse next time."

Then he told her about his recent encounter with Lin Songyuan and their casual chat. After hearing the whole story, she didn't say anything more.

Because we came back late, the dishes on the table were not served until 7 o'clock.

Several people sat around the dining table, and Xu Zhe'an was responsible for pouring the juice.

Zhong Yuan was responsible for starting the conversation. She raised her glass first, with a smile on her tired face.

"Tomorrow is the most important thing for you two right now. Professor Xu and I wish Anzi and Xiaoyun every success and the highest honor."

After he finished speaking, Xu Weishi also raised his glass.

"We will do the logistics for you over the next two days. We hope you can achieve the results you are satisfied with."

Xu Zhe'an also stood up.

"Okay, thank you, Mom and Dad."

"Thank you, uncle and auntie. We will definitely do our best."

After Jiang Yun finished the last sentence, the four cups made a crisp clash sound. It was not loud, but it was the clarion call for the two of them to go to war. They just needed the final touch.
