No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 5: Weird Deskmate (Please Collect and Read)

Although he said he was looking for food, Guan Ren wanted to go back to the classroom early, so he actually just bought something to fill his stomach.

A box of yogurt.

Two Taoli brand hamburger buns.

It’s a pretty good dish.

There was also a packet of Langweixian, but it was not for Guan Ren to eat himself, but for bribery.

……

"Here, Brother Chi."

"Hey? So sensible?"

As the saying goes, professional matters require professional people.

Regarding online novels in 2011, who is the most professional?

At least around Guan Ren, there is only one such person, and that is Zhang Chi.

So as soon as he arrived in the classroom, Guan Ren threw Langweixian on the desk of Zhang Chi who had just returned from surfing the Internet.

"Brother Chi, I've been wanting to read novels lately, do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes, brother! Yes!"

Zhang Chi was reading the latest chapter of a novel written by a poorly written author. He was yawning at first, but after Guan Ren asked him this, he was no longer sleepy.

"Brother Ren, what's your type?"

"I... uh..."

Guan Ren subconsciously recalled the evaluation of himself by his female boss in his previous life:

"I'm a warm-hearted guy, I guess."

"?"

Zhang Chi didn't understand:
"What's the point of talking about eggs or not? You're asking about novels, aren't you? I'm asking what kind of novel you want to read."

"Take it all."

"Okay! Pen and ink are ready!"

Guan Ren picked up a textbook on the table and tore off a piece from the title page and gave it to Zhang Chi.

Then he searched the table and cabinet for a long time. Although he didn't find a single pen, he did find an unused refill.

After two quick strokes, black lines appeared faintly, indicating that it was usable, and he handed it to Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi was also very clear, showing the professionalism of an old bookworm, and soon made a list of books for Guan Ren.

"Super beautiful CEO... Urban hunting for beauties... Online game: gynecological expert... Is Jin Lin the real one..."

???

What kind of weird things is this guy looking at?
Is this the Tai Chi Bahuang?

"Brother Chi, what the hell are you watching? It's too... unpopular... isn't it?"

"Didn't you say that it's all-inclusive? The less popular ones are the best!"

Zhang Chi acted like he was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk:
"I'm tired of reading novels about cultivating and fighting monsters. Recently, I've found this kind of novel to be really exciting! Just read it, Master Guan. He'll be silent while reading, and secretly happy in his bed at night! Oh, right..."

As he spoke, he added another book to the list:
"I'm going to recommend another one to you. This one's awesome. The hero in it is a pianist, and in the end he kills the female villain. Tsk tsk, the main point is that it's immoral!"

Guan Ren's mouth twitched, and you knew which book he was talking about without even reading it.

"Brother Chi, please read less. Unhealthy books won't last long. Take the book about playing the piano, for example. The author himself is ready to reform himself. Maybe when he becomes successful, he will even encourage the industry to go green."

"Tch, impossible."

Zhang Chi disdain:

"He made his fortune writing these things, how could he burn his bridges? Isn't that animalistic?"

"..."

It’s hard to say much about Guan Ren.

I just thought this guy must have some profound theories, but it turned out that all I read were messed up books. I still have to do the serious research myself.

"Brother Chi, lend me your phone."

"I'll continue reading the novel. You go find Liu Xiong."

Liu Xiong is another member of the Three Phantom Gods of Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

At this time, other people who usually eat, such as Gu Youli, have not arrived yet.

But people like Liu Xiong who eat snacks for dinner every day have already returned to the classroom with biscuits, spicy strips and other things.

"Liu Xiong...Liu Xiong...Oh, I found it."

Having locked onto his target, Guan Ren supported himself on his desk with one hand and on the desk behind him with the other, and with a "jump" he jumped over the fragrant chair of his deskmate.

Then he moved forward like a monkey, leaping and pushing, and in a few seconds he passed through all the seats and benches, swinging from the fourth group to the first group. He raised his hand and slapped Liu Xiong on the skinny dog-like back.

Snapped!
"Brother Xiong."

"!!"

Liu Xiong was sitting there chewing on a bag of pickled pepper pork rinds. He was already hunched over, and the slap made him completely bent over. He twisted his body in pain, then grabbed a book and smacked Guan Ren on the head.
"Fuck you! I'm fucking %#￥@#..."

"Alright, alright, that's all, you piece of shit."

Guan Ren curled his lips and raised his hand to block the attack easily. His youthful reaction was quick:

"Brother Xiong, lend me your phone."

"What are you talking about?"

Liu Xiong looked around cautiously:
"I don't use a cell phone, where did the call come from?"

"What a mess! Hurry up, I'm getting down to business."

In fact, Liu Xiong had his mobile phone confiscated by Li Min last week, so he had to be cautious.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, he reached into his trouser pocket.

"When will you return it to me?"

"Evening self-study..."

Guan Ren pondered for a moment:
“…Second Section…”

He paused again:
“…get out of class dismissed.”

"Fuck, how am I going to survive evening study?"

"Can't you study?"

"roll."

Finally, after much persuasion, Guan Ren found a copy of "Story Club" from Zhang Chi and threw it in front of Liu Xiong:

"You can watch this tonight."

Liu Xiong chewed the pickled pepper pork rind, flipped it over, and shook his head in a pretentious tone:
"Sir Guan, you are not pure."

"speak English."

"seen it already."

There was no other way, so Guan Ren found another copy of "Legends of the Past and Present", which even included a 08 vintage. Only then did Liu Xiong hand his mobile phone to Guan Ren.

"..."

However, as soon as he got the phone, Guan Ren frowned.

This 3.5-inch large handwriting screen dual SIM dual standby voice king...

Are you still using a 2g card?

"Mao! I just upgraded to 3g, you don't have to pay me back."

"Use, use, use..."

Guan Ren took the phone back to his seat. Fortunately, although he hadn't used this kind of phone for a long time, many of its operations were stored in his muscle memory.

After a few simple fiddles and trying to long-press the hang-up button and the confirmation + asterisk keys, it was successfully unlocked.

Guan Ren found UC Browser in the JAVA application list. While chewing on a hamburger bun and drinking yogurt, he made do with the WAP web page with blue text on a white background and began to scan the rankings of major online literature platforms in recent years.

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

The time between afternoon school and evening self-study is always short.

Guan Ren felt that he had not been sweeping for long and had not finished eating his bread, but the classroom was almost full.

Including my deskmate Gu Youli.

"Sister Gu! When did you get here?" "Just now."

Guan Ren was a little scared. If he hadn't smelled the fragrance of the food he had eaten in the afternoon, he really wouldn't have noticed someone coming next to him.

He walks without making any sound. Could it be that my deskmate is born in the year of the cat?

Looking again, he saw that the other students were all laughing and talking, or reading some miscellaneous books. Only Gu Youli was sitting there very properly, flipping through a paper, with her slightly thin back straight.

"..."

My deskmate has always been well-mannered, but Guan Ren always feels...

how to say…

Sometimes it seems that you are too educated.

She's like the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

Is Gu Youli's family considered wealthy?
As far as Guan Ren knew, it definitely didn't count. Gu Youli came from an ordinary teacher's family, neither rich nor poor.

The reason why she has developed such a ladylike temperament is probably because Teacher Gu at home is a bit too strict.

"Guan Ren."

Just as Guan Ren was lost in thought, staring at his deskmate's delicate, pink ears, Gu Youli couldn't help but turn her head and looked warily at Guan Ren, the classmate with a problem of premature love:

"Is there something on my face?"

Guan Ren nodded:

"Have."

"?"

Eh? Really?
Gu Youli was stunned for a moment.

Guan Ren took out a palm-sized folding mirror from the desk, opened it and placed it in front of Gu Youli:

"See for yourself."

Gu Youli looked at it.

Looking in the mirror, my face is fair, tender, pretty, just like usual, nothing wrong.

"can not see?"

So Guan Ren took the mirror back, and then started writing and drawing on the mirror with a marker.

"..."

Gu Youli had already begun to suspect that her deskmate was playing tricks.

But her curiosity made her want to see what he was doing.

"Okay, take another look."

Soon, Guan Ren put the mirror in front of Gu Youli again.

This time, when Gu Youli looked again, she was shocked to find that her originally pretty little face in the mirror overlapped with a crying face with drooping mouth corners drawn on it with a marker.

"This is you."

"..."

Gu Youli's eyes flickered slightly.

"It doesn't look good, does it?"

Guan Ren came over slyly:
"Even though you have a poker face, your eyes can speak volumes. I can tell. What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Gu Youli pursed her lips, her mind reminiscing about her sister's face, the scene at dinner tonight, and similar conversations from childhood to adulthood. Her fingers gripping the test paper clenched slightly.

"No…"

Not without.

Guan Ren is not stupid.

However, given their current relationship, it is not convenient for him to ask for details for the time being.

It is also not convenient to transform into a sunny boy like in film and television works and sentimentally persuade Gu Youli to "smile".

Ok…

By the way, no matter in the past life or the present life, Guan Ren seems to have never seen Gu Youli smile once... ?
A person, a girl, a beautiful girl, never smiles.

Honestly, is this reasonable?
Guan Ren glanced at the two quiet little bags on his deskmate's chest and felt that this was unreasonable.

"Sister Gu, let me ask you a question."

"You ask."

In the afternoon, Guan Ren asked a lot of math questions, and Gu Youli still supported her deskmate's progress.

However, this time, he didn't ask any math questions.

"Why doesn't Doraemon have a neck?"

"?"

"Because Doraemon is very hygienic, he's afraid that Blueneck will accumulate mud."

"..."

Gu Youli was speechless.

Although Guan Ren was laughing to himself, he was also quite puzzled.

Isn't this funny?
Okay, one more.

"A mushroom was walking on the road and was bumped by an orange. The mushroom got furious and told the orange to die. The orange really died. Why?"

"..."

"Because the bacteria want the orange to die, the orange has to die."

"boring."

Sister Gu gave a sharp review and lowered her head to continue looking at the Chinese paper.

“…What does a butterfly become when it gets fat? A fat butterfly!…”

“…What will happen if the Want Want Snow Cake gets hot? Want Want will lift the quilt!…”

"...Do you know where Ultraman Tiga is? In the Northeast! Because I, Ultraman Tiga, am in the Northeast, on the Songhua River~..."

……

boring.

Each one more boring than the other.

Gu Youli really didn't know how many such boring things were in her deskmate's head.

This guy…

It’s really rude.

First, I rudely read her mood...

Telling her a joke without any manners...

……

Come to think of it, whether it's depression or sadness, aren't they all trivial things?

As long as these things are buried deep enough in your heart, they will naturally dissipate soon.

At least this is how Gu Youli has lived since she was a child.

From childhood to adulthood, no one would bother to care about whether Gu Youli, who didn't like to laugh, needed to be happy or smile...

Neither the teachers nor the classmates, nor my older sister, or even my mother whom I seldom see, there is none.

Because even Gu Youli herself doesn't care.

Apart from…

Apart from…

This weird classmate next to me named Guan Ren...

……

Well...just don't call him Guan Ren anymore from now on, just call him weirdo.

Gu Youli complained in her heart, listening to the strange voice in her ears, but the pen in her hand seemed to write with an unprecedented lightness.

Through the light strands of hair that were occasionally lifted, a delicate dimple was softly flashing on that cool profile...
