No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 243 About Confessing Love
It's the same phrase, "I miss you."

Guan Ren's "I miss you" is romantic, but compared to Gu Youli's "I miss you," it lacks scope.

This was something Guan Ren, who had originally planned to take the lead tonight, hadn't expected.

All I can say is that the current version of Little Pear Blossom is a bit overmodel-worthy.

Guan Ren himself wasn't in good form, so it's best to "avoid confrontation" for now.

And to be fair, it's nothing serious.

So what if we're passive?

Anyway, the girls around him were already quite diverse, and now that a new version of Gu Youli has appeared, it's good.

The meat rots in the pot, and the relationship between classmates is a matter between two people. There's no real meaning in assigning roles like offense and defense, or being the one who takes the initiative or is the one who is passive.

sleep!

I saw Youli in my dream. Goodnight.

"Good night."

So Guan Ren stopped caring about it and just let things take their course.

……

He, on the other hand, slept peacefully.

Little Pear Blossom, on the other hand, kept turning over and over.

【Good night】

I'm so happy to have you.

"..."

Xiaolihua lay on the bed, wearing headphones, listening to Guan Ren's "ASMR voice" that she had recorded during a previous phone call with him.

In the past, when she couldn't sleep, she could fall asleep as long as she heard this sound.

Although…

Even though sometimes after listening to it for a long time... I need to soothe my slightly palpitating heart before bed to calm down...

But overall it's still quite useful.

As a result, it's useless tonight.

Because Gu Youli pondered and pondered, belatedly realizing that she was grappling with a problem.

So, was what she just said... a kind of subtle confession?
I miss you, but it's not a secret. You can tell others, anyone can.

"..."

No no no!

She didn't realize it when she said it, but now that she thinks about it, Xiaolihua's ears turned bright red. After rolling around on the bed, she couldn't help but raise one forearm to cover her eyes.

Beneath her slightly disheveled hair, her rosy cheeks were flushed.

Would classmates say such things...?
Gu Youli began to assess the risk index.

Finally, I think it's quite strange for a deskmate to say such things.

But she and Guan Ren were very close classmates.

So it seems fine to say "I miss you" to each other late at night, there's no problem.

"call…"

Gu Youli took a deep breath, her clear eyes sparkling with shimmering light, and stared at the ceiling for a long time.

Gradually, she picked up the blanket and covered half of her face.

what to do…

feel…

I really want to tell him "I like you"...

……

Gu Youli herself could hardly believe what she was thinking at that moment.

Thinking back to herself before the sports meet, she was still confused every day about what the next step would be after starting a relationship.

But unexpectedly, things naturally turned out this way.

Love is truly amazing.

……

I want to tell the boy I like how much I like him.

I also hope to hear that boy say, "I like you too."

Little Pear Blossom had this thought in a daze, which is actually a normal phenomenon for girls of this age.

However, her academic experience prevented her from acting impulsively when faced with such a situation.

It's the same problem we've considered before.

Gu Youli knew that there were no "obstacles" in front of her and Guan Ren.

"..."

Gu Youli took another deep breath, her eyes becoming slightly serious, while an image of a cheerful and adorable girl appeared in her mind.

Is it...

If it weren't for her, what I might have said to Guan Ren tonight wouldn't have been just "I miss you"?
Gu Youli thought for a while.

Can't think clearly.

After all, there are no "what ifs" in reality.

"Confess your feelings...?"

So it turns out that this kind of thing is indeed not so easy.

There was worry and fear.

And the more you like it, the more so it becomes.

"hehe…"

Gu Youli shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.

In the end, when faced with such a situation, am I just as hesitant and indecisive...?

But it doesn't matter. Putting everything else aside, just saying those words to him tonight made Gu Youli feel that her little bit of courage was much stronger than that so-called childhood sweetheart who always held onto the title of "childhood friend" but dared not confess...
----------

In the end, after a night, Guan Ren broke his promise.

Because we had agreed to meet in my dreams with Xiaolihua.

The result may be due to the influence of the phone call incident.

I dreamt about Gu Wancheng.

"Ugh, is this even possible..."

Guan Ren scratched his head.

As for what he said and did to Gu Wancheng in his dream...

I forgot about it just a minute after I got up.

"I need to start studying hard today."

Guan Ren glanced at the calendar he'd received as a gift when he opened a bank account before, and perked up.

……

July is the last month of this semester.

After the summer vacation, Guan Ren will be a senior in high school.

In other words, this upcoming summer vacation is probably the last summer vacation during high school where one can really let loose, so it has to be taken seriously.

Moreover, the summer of 2012 is expected to be quite lively.

Although Guan Ren doesn't remember it very clearly, he can tell from some of the popular events that have left a deep impression on him.

The most typical example is a variety show that brought about a "bottoming out and rebound" for both the domestic variety show and music scene, which was born this summer.

……

"Hey, did you guys watch it yesterday? That one on Zhejiang TV, what was it called...?"

"The Voice of China!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Wow, those mentors are amazing! The one who sang Water Margin is here too."

"Brother, she has a name..."

"And that one, I'm hiding under the car~"

"Pah! That's A-Du! The one who came is Yang Kun, I don't care about him!"

……

The first season of this show had truly phenomenal ratings.

Even though Guan Ren wasn't interested in variety shows at this time in his previous life and didn't watch them much, he soon heard songs like "High Song" and "My Song" playing everywhere, and the contestants' versions were even more popular than the originals.

Even Zhang Chi, who "only reads classical novels," spent the whole day humming in the classroom:
"You exist—oh—deep in my mind—"

"stop."

Guan Ren waved:

"It sounds awful, stop singing."

"what?"

Zhang Chi's eyes lit up:
"Ren-ge, I suddenly realized you should go on The Voice of China."

"Oh, is it so."

"Yeah! That poem you wrote before, 'A Short Letter, Long Feelings,' wow! I feel like it might have a chance!"

"Not interested in."

Guan Ren shook his head:

"Besides, the contestants on The Voice of China don't go there to sing original songs."

"Yeah, you did write a really nice song, but it's a shame it's not well-known... Sigh, if there's ever another Chinese song lyrics competition, you could finally get on the show."

Guan Ren gave a thumbs up upon hearing this:
"You've got foresight, Brother Chi."

"Stop talking. I should have downloaded the first episode of The Voice of China when I went online yesterday! Never mind, I'll go again tomorrow, it's the weekend."

As soon as Zhang Chi finished speaking, Liu Xiong, who was passing by, chimed in:

"Hey, don't be reckless, Chi-ge. You can't go online these days."

"What?"

"The school has started investigating, together with the police station."

"what…"

Everyone is familiar with this.

To put it bluntly, these days, if we're talking about the standards for illegal internet cafes, then all the internet cafes in a small county like Jiangzhou County would be illegal.

Since internet access generally doesn't require an ID card and is mostly done with temporary cards, students from elementary to high school can freely enter and exit.

In order to gradually standardize the process, as early as when Guanren Elementary School was in session, almost every year or every semester, various schools would go to internet cafes with the local police station to "arrest people".

In other words, they would single out students who went online and then criticize and educate them.

When Liu Xiong was a child, he was arrested while wearing his school uniform. He was filmed at the time, and it looked like a raid on prostitution. He and several other elementary and middle school students stood in a row at the gate with their heads down, just like a raid on prostitution. It was even broadcast on the school TV as a warning program.

But now it seems a new wave has begun.

"But we're all high school students now, surely we shouldn't be used as examples to make an example of us?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid of being caught. As long as I'm not wearing a school uniform, who can tell I'm a high school student?"

Zhang Chi was very disdainful:
"If they really come looking for me, I'll just say I'm a teacher. The school can't arrest a teacher for going online, can it?"

"Bullshit! If a teacher goes to an internet cafe, it's for serious business, not to get caught playing games."

hum-

A few people were chatting idly when suddenly the classroom lights flickered and then went out.

The whole class erupted in uproar:
"Oh wow—"

Unfortunately, it's the peak summer electricity consumption season, and some of the county's power grid facilities are being upgraded this year, so power outages are frequent lately.

The school is alright.

In some residential areas and even streets, vehicles are often parked for a whole day, and in some older residential areas, they are even parked for two days.
