No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 105 Gu Youli's Recording
Evening self-study after school.

beep--

beep--

"Hey?"

"Guan Ren! You actually waited two rings before answering my call! You're using the cold shoulder against me, wuwuwu!"

"..."

Guan Ren holds his forehead:

"Luo Xiaobei, could you at least not pronounce that last 'woo' so forcefully?"

"I'll just use all my strength, woo!"

"Okay, then you can just hum slowly."

"?!"

Fake crying is still crying, and he actually just watched her cry? Luo Xiaobei was shocked and heartbroken:
"Guan Ren, you...you don't want me anymore?"

"Little aunt, I just went to bed late at night, how can I want you? Why don't you come over and let me hug you now?"

"..."

"Hey?!"

There was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone, and Guan Ren's eyelids drooped immediately.

This is bad. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but whether Luo Xiaobei would really come over because of this sentence, I feel it is really hard to say...

"Luo Xiaobei, calm down. Don't act rashly. You have an exam tomorrow."

"take an exam?"

Luo Xiaobei, who was thinking about what clothes to change, also realized this problem and lay back on the bed with regret:
"Okay, hug me on the phone."

"Oh."

Guan Ren sent an emoticon package of [hug.jpg] on QQ.

"Did you get it?"

"I got it~"

Qingmei's voice was so sweet that Guan Ren smiled, but at the same time he couldn't help but be curious:

"It seems that you are in a particularly good mood these two days?"

"Yeah, it's mainly because my dad's work problem was solved. Once he's relieved, my mom will be relieved too, and of course I'll be relieved too."

"solved?"

Guan Ren didn't expect this:
"How to solve it?"

"Anyway, the people from the relevant departments suddenly made up their minds. It's said that Sun Feng was still very arrogant at the time. He and his men lay on the ground, looking for reporters and making demands. But this time, no one paid any attention to him and directly took him away. And guess what happened after they took him away?"

"What's wrong?"

Guan Ren quickly asked, and when Luo Xiaobei was describing, he had pictures in his mind, and it felt like watching Focus Interview.

"After we took him away, we investigated him and found out that a shoddy project that the city was investigating was caused by Sun Feng cutting corners in order to give kickbacks to his good friends."

It's not surprising that this kind of gangster would lose more than he gains, but Luo Xiaobei is still quite curious:
"It's about not paying back the money and cutting corners. I won't talk about Sun Feng, but my dad said that the people under him are making a lot of money. They all have cars and houses. Why would they take risks? And why would they cut corners and rip people off?"

"You can never make enough money. You might feel happy at first when you have a car and a house, but when you see someone else has a better car and house than you, you'll feel like you're in dire straits."

"oh oh."

Luo Xiaobei understood:
"It's like you initially thought having a childhood sweetheart was enough, but once you saw another girl was better than yours, you would start to be tempted by other things."

"Right... Bah! Right!"

"Student Guan Ren, please be careful with your words!"

"Oh, sorry."

I almost forgot, Luo Xiaobei doesn't have that...

"Guan Ren..."

Luo Xiaobei's suspicious voice came from the microphone:
"I suspect you're thinking about something you shouldn't be thinking about..."

"No! Ahem...well..."

Qingmei can actually read minds, Guan Ren feels a little guilty:

"Is the new phone still working well?"

"Uh-huh."

They are all the same phone:
"Hello, I'm fine too~"

Luo Xiaobei was glad that she had already secretly written down Guan Ren's preferences for mobile phones in a mysterious little notebook, otherwise she might have considered buying him an iPhone.

Although the prices are similar, if he doesn't like it, then even the most expensive item is worthless in Luo Xiaobei's eyes.

"Bei, I'm hanging up first."

"Huh? So early."

"Correct."

Guan Ren glanced at the time:
"It's time."

"Ok."

Although Luo Xiaobei felt it was quite early, considering that he had an exam tomorrow, it was understandable that Guan Ren went to bed early.

However, Luo Xiaobei actually misunderstood.

The "time" Guan Ren mentioned does not mean "time to go to bed".

beep--

Soon after hanging up with Luo Xiaobei, Guan Ren made another call.

"Hey?"

A soft voice sounded, and Guan Ren smiled innocently:
"Sister Gu, you have an exam tomorrow, why haven't you slept yet?"

"You didn't sleep either?"

Ever since he got a mobile phone, Guan Ren’s time before going to bed every night has been divided into two halves.

Half of it was a phone call with Luo Xiaobei.

The other half was on the phone with Gu Youli.

"Hey, I'm just thinking about someone." Gu Youli on the other end of the phone tightened her hands:
"Who are you thinking about..."

"The same person you're thinking of."

"?"

Gu Youli blinked. Was it the same person she was thinking about?
Is Guan Ren so narcissistic?
Gu Youli didn't believe it:

“It’s definitely different.”

"Same, why don't you tell me who you are thinking about first?"

"I...I didn't think of anyone..."

Gu Youli refused to fall for his trick and tried to take over:

"Just tell me clearly, who is the person you are thinking of?"

"I told you what I was thinking."

Guan Ren lowered his voice slightly and spoke word by word:
"I'm thinking about my deskmate..."

"..."

"Hey, how's it going? It's exactly who you thought it was, right?"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and after a while, he stammered:
"Don't think about it for now... You have an exam tomorrow, so you should focus more on the exam."

"how about you?"

"I want to take the exam, too."

"Okay, let's think about it together."

"Um…"

Gu Youli said this and did the same.

Later, Guan Ren even asked Gu Youli to recite a few physics formulas.

Gu Youli also asked Guan Ren to recite a few recent ancient poems.

Gu Youli, who had always been difficult at reciting ancient poems, could only recite one or two lines, which made Guan Ren very happy:

"Sister Gu is amazing! She's really improved!"

"You too, you've memorized the formulas, but you still need to... apply them flexibly during the exam..."

As they were talking, Gu Youli's voice on the phone suddenly became hesitant and smaller.

Guan Renzheng was a little surprised, but after a moment, Gu Youli's voice suddenly sounded again.

But this time, it sounded inexplicably timid:

"Guan Ren...Isn't it boring for me to talk to you about this on the phone..."

"?"

Guan Ren was stunned. He felt a little distressed and a little amused at his former deskmate's cautious attitude.
"How could that be? It's normal for students to talk about studies."

"Really?"

"real."

Guan Ren felt that Xiao Lihua seemed to like asking him "really" more and more, so of course he always had to reassure her:
"And the content of our chats every night isn't important. What's important is being able to hear each other's voices and maintaining that feeling of being at the same table, isn't it?"

"Ah."

After Guan Ren said this, Gu Youli's uneasy heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

After they had almost finished chatting, Luo Xiaobei, who had originally agreed to go to sleep, sent a message to Guan Ren on QQ.

[On the River Island: Wake up~]

【Guan Guan Ju Jiu:? 】

[Guan Guan Jujiu: Luo Xiaobei, why aren't you sleeping yet? What are you doing?]

[On the River Island: Not a Tricky Moth]

[In the River Isle: I drank too much water today, so I got up to pee~]

[In He Zhi Zhou: So by the way, Guan Ren, do you want to come with us? ]

"..."

As expected of her...

Guan Ren continued to complain about this energetic childhood sweetheart who was always thinking and doing things her way, while also saying goodbye to Gu Youli:

"Sister Gu, let's stop here for today. Good luck on the exam tomorrow."

"Ah, you too."

Gu Youli agreed, but was also a little confused by the "clicking" sound coming from the microphone:

"Guan Ren, are you on your phone?"

"Uh...yeah."

Guan Ren said casually:
"I'm recording."

"recording?"

"Well, I'll record your voice saying goodnight to accompany me to sleep, hehe."

"..."

Boys who fall in love early have a lot of weird ideas.

Gu Youli thought so, then bit her lower lip, raised her finger and hesitated for a moment, then pressed the recording button on her side of the phone, and then said:
"Then...goodnight."

"Good night."

The phone hangs up.

Gu Youli lay down, looked through the audio file she had just recorded, turned the volume down to the minimum, then put it to her ear and pressed the play button.

【Good night】

When his voice came out, the girl curled up her lips into a smile that no one saw. She wrapped the quilt tightly around her and slowly rolled from the left to the right on the bed. Then she listened again and then rolled from the right to the left again.

She rolled around slowly like this for a while, and when she finally fell asleep, her pretty little face had already quietly hidden halfway in the quilt.

Just like the full moon outside the window, shyly hiding in the clouds.
