No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 12 Sweet Salty Bread
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

On Sunday evening, when Guan Ren leisurely came into the classroom with two pieces of pork floss and scallion oil bread, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Quiet.

It's too quiet.

Although there weren't many people in the class to begin with.

But some of the more noisy characters, such as Xu Hui from Group 2, Chen Yaozu and Du Zihan from Group 3, were now quietly lying on the table reading and writing, and were not chatting about anything.

"..."

The moment he realized this, Guan Ren decisively slowed down his rude steps as he entered the room, then slowly glanced towards the back of the classroom...

Snapped!
"Second Master!"

"?!"

Suddenly, a huge slap hit Guan Ren on the back. It turned out to be Liu Xiong who flew in with an even more ruthless pace. He then playfully put his arm around Guan Ren's shoulders and showed him the webpage opened on his phone:
"Look, Master. I saw you were so awesome the other day. I also practiced a few games of Riven this afternoon and found a guide. It says this..."

"Ahem! Ahem!"

"? What happened? Did you choke on your shit?"

"cough!"

"?"

Guan Ren coughed dryly and kept winking at Liu Xiong. Liu Xiong was puzzled at first, and then he felt a chill down his spine.

Masaka...

Liu Xiong followed Guan Ren's gaze and turned to look at the last row of the classroom.

Then my heart, which had been hanging in the air, died completely.

There, in the alley between Group 1 and Group 2, Li Min's cold gaze was surveying the entire class.

Like a black widow lurking in the middle of a spider web, waiting for its prey.

This is why the class is unusually quiet at this moment.

Li Min didn't waste any words and walked over silently, then stretched out a hand with bright red nails to Liu Xiong.

A thousand horses were running through Liu Xiong's heart. As crazy as he was when he entered the classroom just now, he was now as sad as before. He obediently handed the phone to Li Min.

"Come out with me."

Liu Xiong went out.

There was an uproar in the classroom, and the noise of the past returned in an instant.

"Hahaha! Brother Xiong! Hahaha!"

"Is this his second one this month?"

"Brother Chi, I have a feeling that you will be the next one."

"Go away, stop being such a jinx..."

------------

Most schools strictly prohibit students from bringing mobile phones.

After all, in an era when mobile devices and payments were not yet popular, students did not use their mobile phones for serious work, except for reading novels and playing games.

However, Jiangzhou No. 2 Middle School is relatively humane. It is strict with day students, but more lenient with boarding students.

Even if you are a day student, generally speaking, as long as you are not caught during class and are not blacklisted, the teacher will turn a blind eye at other times, such as when he sees you flipping through your phone to look at it on the way.

But the same cannot be said for those who are blacklisted.

For example, people like Zhang Chi and Liu Xiong, who always grin at their crotches in class, are all T0-level veterans.

Not to mention seeing it on the way, even if Li Min heard some gossip from somewhere, she would probably ransack the desks of both of them.

Of course, there are also opposite examples.

For example, Gu Youli also has a mobile phone.

At the beginning, others would make classic sarcastic remarks like "good students are different" or "teachers' families have privileges."

But after all, she is already in the second year of high school, and everyone has a certain ability to judge many things. Over time, they found that Gu Youli has self-control. Apart from occasional phone calls and text messages, she will not play secretly in class.

Naturally, teachers won’t care or be too lazy to care if such people bring mobile phones.

……

Da da da…

When Guan Ren returned to his seat, there were still fifteen minutes before the first evening study session. His deskmate, Gu Youli, was typing on her cell phone, which was a rare occurrence.

She played slowly, which Guan Ren thought was good and easy to appreciate.

It's certainly not about appreciating typing itself.

It is to appreciate her slender, soft and white fingers.

Guan Ren ate the meat floss bread while admiring it.

Da da da…

After admiring him for a while, Gu Youli began to notice Guan Ren's direct gaze. She first glanced at him from the corner of her eye, then couldn't help but turn her head and stare at Guan Ren quietly.

"Guan Ren."

"Woo?"

Guan Ren held a piece of bread in his mouth and thought to himself that something was wrong. He stared at his deskmate's hands and really felt a little drunk. After swallowing the bread with great force, he was about to explain, but he found that his deskmate's focus seemed to be different from what he thought.

"Is my voice a little loud?"

"Sound? What sound?"

"The sound of typing."

Gu Youli raised her cell phone.

This phone is better than Liu Xiong's. At least it is an HTC smartphone equipped with the latest Android 2.3 system. The screen is four inches and has 480×800 high-definition pixels.

However, Guan Ren couldn't see clearly at this distance. He could only vaguely see that she seemed to be replying to QQ. When she typed on the screen, the system's built-in keyboard typing sound kept coming out.

Gu Youli thought that Guan Ren looked at her because of the typing sound.

"Excuse me."

Sister Gu was as polite as ever, looking a little troubled: "I can't seem to turn off this sound, I..."

“It can be turned off.”

"Can you... turn it off?"

"Of course, it's in the settings."

Seeing Gu Youli's reaction, Guan Ren guessed that this girl was probably not good at digital products, so he said enthusiastically:
"Give me the phone, I'll help you adjust it."

Guan Ren stretched out his hand. Gu Youli hesitated for a moment, then pressed the home button. Just as she was about to hand over the phone, Guan Ren took his hand back.

"Wait."

He first wrapped the packaging of the meat floss bread and placed it on the table.

Then he took out toilet paper and carefully wiped his hands that had just held the bread.

Finally, stretch it out again:
"give it to me."

"..."

Gu Youli glanced at him with a slight movement in her eyes and handed the phone over:

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me. Remember what I said to you last Friday? From now on, if it's not a big deal, we won't both say thank you. Besides, we're classmates."

Guan Ren muttered to himself as he clicked into the settings:
"Here, here, there's a keyboard and a language. You press it, and then...look, now there's no sound when you type."

"So that's it."

Gu Youli, who had learned the "high-end technology", also had an expression of discovering a new world. After getting the mobile phone back, she tried to tinker with it herself.

"Settings...Keyboard...Input Method..."

Every time she pressed the screen, her pretty fingers would timidly shrink back, and then she would press it again.

That cautious look reminded Guan Ren of a GIF he had seen before, of a kitten repeatedly probing a ball of yarn with its paws, and he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

It’s such a beautiful thing to watch the adorable reaction of a cat-like classmate up close…

……

After Gu Youli set up the keyboard, she continued to reply to her sister's QQ messages.

Xiaoli: I'm full. Tonight's rock sugar and snow pear vinegar noodle soup was delicious. Thank you, sister.

Just after sending it, a message came back:

[Dacheng: You only ate a little bit, are you really not hungry?]

Xiaoli: I'm really not hungry. It's almost evening study time. I won't say any more.

After sending the last sentence, Gu Youli turned off the screen and put her phone into the desk, feeling a little worried.

She only ate half a bowl of dinner today. According to her usual experience, it was enough to get her through.

But her elder sister suspected that she hadn't eaten enough, and kept sending messages to talk about it, which made Gu Youli feel a little...

Gu——~
Gu Youli touched her flat belly.

What to do, it’s calling.

……

Ears are on people's bodies, so when someone calls, there will naturally be someone to listen.

In fact, under normal circumstances, only one's own stomach can hear clearly. Guan Ren originally just looked at his deskmate with some suspicion, and he saw her touching her stomach with one hand.

In this case, it's either pain or hunger.

Guan Ren observed his expression and thought he must be hungry.

So he handed over the other piece of meat floss bread that he hadn't eaten yet:

"Here."

"?"

Gu Youli looked at Guan Ren in astonishment, while Guan Ren continued to chew on his own while strongly recommending:
"It's delicious, you should try it."

Gu Youli waved her hand:

"I've had dinner. I'm not hungry. You eat."

"I know you're not hungry."

Guan Ren nodded, his face calm and his heart steady, very solemnly:
"It's just that I can't eat it myself, so I want Sister Gu to help me eat it."

"..."

What can’t I eat?

He clearly ate two hamburger buns last Friday night and still wasn't satisfied, complaining that they were too small or something...

"I'm thirsty today. I'm going to drink a lot of water later. Eating too much bread will make me bloated."

Guan Ren made up excuses without any ideological burden, and it was very smooth:
"The box is unpacked again and it's hard to put it away. Please help me solve it. Thank you."

"..."

I just told you not to say "thank you" to your deskmates, and now I'm breaking the rules...

What a double standard.

But even when faced with such a double-standard classmate, Gu Youli felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. In the end, she took the bread and took a small bite.

"Hey, is it delicious?"

"Ah."

Gu Youli nodded, her heart a little unsettled. She stared at the bread in her hand and murmured thoughtfully:

“It’s quite sweet…”

"?"

sweet?
Guan Ren's ears twitched, somewhat confused.

This meat floss bread...isn't it salty?
