No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 90 Ex and Current

When he got home in the evening, Guan Ren couldn't wait to open the backstage.

The complete first-order data of "The Supreme Confucianism and Taoism" has already come out.

But because of the [April 2nd Battle] in the past two days, Guan Ren didn't have much time to care.

He wanted to take a look at it at noon today.

But he was not free at that time.

Because I'm busy cooking.

Make it for myself and Guan Qiaoyun.

----------

Guan Qiaoyun's morning and afternoon shifts rotate every day. Guan Ren seems to have the impression that many department stores are like this at that time.

In the past, no matter whether it was the morning shift or the evening shift, Guan Qiaoyun would cook for Guan Ren at noon.

But now, just as Guan Ren planned, he didn't want Guan Qiaoyun to work so hard anymore, so he insisted on cooking himself, despite Guan Qiaoyun's objection.

A plate of pickled pepper beef tenderloin.

A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

A bowl of vegetable soup without oil or salt.

Green vegetable soup has been a must-have for Guan Qiaoyun at every meal since she was a child. She doesn’t add anything else to the soup, just add the vegetables as soon as the water boils. After it’s boiled, it’s especially refreshing whether you drink it before or after a meal.

Guan Ren didn’t like drinking it when he was a child because he thought it had no taste, but he liked it more and more as he grew older.

"Sister Qiaoyun, try it."

"What else can I taste..."

It looks delicious, why bother trying it?
Guan Qiaoyun ate in small bites while muttering:
"Where on earth did you learn this trick..."

Just during this time on a business trip, my son suddenly went from someone who couldn't even cut vegetables to a chef who could control the heat better than me. This is really...

……

After lunch, Guan Qiaoyun wanted to wash the dishes again, but Guan Ren stopped her and rubbed her palm seriously:

"Sister Qiaoyun, you have such good skin. I didn't cherish it for so many years. You should take good care of it now."

"..."

Guan Qiaoyun was somewhat disapproving.

As a single mother, she'd be living her life alone with her son. So, if her hands were a little ugly, it didn't matter. Aren't they a medal of honor she'd earned for her son? Guan Qiaoyun didn't think they needed any maintenance.

But since Guan Ren insisted, she would just go along with him for now.

So Guan Ren washed dishes in the kitchen, and Guan Qiaoyun sat in the dining room, occasionally coming into the kitchen to look at him, and then suddenly chuckled.

"? What are you laughing at?"

Guan Qiaoyun's eyebrows curved, and she glanced at him lightly:
"What can I laugh at? I'm just laughing at you for being a little liar..."

"fraud?"

"What did you say before? You said you would cook occasionally in the future, when you have free time. So what happened? You've been cooking for the past two days..."

Guan Qiaoyun also said that she was a little liar, and Qingmei also suspected that she would cheat on girls...

Guan Ren felt that his reputation hadn't been very good recently, so he could only smile awkwardly:

"How about this, from now on you cook on weekends and I'll cook on weekdays."

"You usually do it?"

Guan Qiaoyun waved her jade hand:

"Then why don't you take care of the laundry as well?"

"Okay."

Guan Ren hadn't noticed the strangeness in Guan Qiaoyun's tone at this moment, and just nodded blankly.

"And sweep and mop the floor."

"Row."

"Buying groceries in the morning."

"Uh…I can this weekend."

"Yeah, you can. You can do anything. I have classes at the company, so you can take my place."

"what…"

Guan Ren could now hear that Guan Qiaoyun was feeling awkward. He stopped what he was doing and looked back. Sister Qiaoyun was leaning against the door panel with her head tilted to the side, her arms folded across her chest, and occasionally tucking her hair behind her ears.

His expression didn't look... angry or anything, but there was a hint of grievance that Guan Ren couldn't understand...?
Guan Renzheng was puzzled, wondering if he had said anything wrong.

But then I heard Guan Qiaoyun mutter:

"You're grown up now, you know everything, you can be independent... I guess in two years, you won't need me as your mother anymore..."

“Ouch…”

Guan Ren was immediately at a loss for words. It turned out that Guan Qiaoyun had thought in this way.

Oh, the thoughts of women...

Guan Ren wiped his hands on his apron, hurried over, and stroked Guan Qiaoyun's shoulder:

"Sister Qiaoyun."

"..."

"Mom~"

Guan Qiaoyun turned her pretty face slightly and looked at Guan Ren for a while, with a hint of a smile on her lips:

"So you still need a mother?"

"Okay, let's do this. From now on, we'll take turns cooking, but I'll wash the dishes."

"What are you washing? I'll wash the dishes. You spend your time taking a nap and studying."

Guan Qiaoyun gave Guan Ren a bargaining look:
"Let's not even talk about cooking. How can you be so squeamish about washing dishes? Even if you flatter me about my beautiful skin, your mother won't be like the Princess and the Pea, right?"

"Hey…"

Guan Ren was embarrassed. After saying this, he felt that he had indeed gone a little too far.

……

Guan Qiaoyun is still young, but Guan Ren is eager to make her have everything she wants and make her a canary. This is indeed a bit inconsiderate.

My current reaction to Guan Qiao Yun could even be used as the subject matter for a female-oriented novel.

It's called "Beautiful Mother's Guide: Reborn Son Spoiled Too Much"

It sounds very female.

Hmm...but I always feel something is strange...

Then change one.

It’s called “The Domineering and Cute Baby Loves Me Hard”.

That sounds much better.

……

Jokes aside, it is indeed inappropriate to "spoil too much" or "love too hard".

Guan Ren had been a little upset these past two days because he had experienced things that Guan Qiaoyun had never experienced, and he felt so much indebtedness and guilt.

Now that I have calmed down, I think so too. Some things should be left to nature's own devices.

After all, Guan Qiaoyun attaches great importance to her identity as a mother.

Just like her hard work, it involves a kind of self-recognition.

Guan Qiaoyun is proud to be a good mother to Guan Ren.

Guan Ren naturally didn't want to take away her pride.

So after noon, Guan Ren decided not to interfere too much in this matter and just deal with it based on the situation.

For example, cooking. Occasionally, when she is tired from work, or wants to show off her cooking skills, or is particularly free, Guan Ren can go to cook.

……

But back to business.

Guan Ren had just finished his evening self-study and was sitting in front of the computer to check the first order of "The Supreme Confucianism and Taoism". He was also thinking about the things about female-oriented literature that popped into his mind at noon.

"It's short, easy to update, and the copyright is easy to sell... Should I write a female-oriented novel?"

After careful consideration, Guan Ren decided to forget it.

After all, the risk is too great.

Even if he wrote a few books for women in the next two years, made some money and retired early.

But if the copyright is sold to a TV series ten years later and the TV series audience is attracted here, Guan Ren will be in danger.

It was not convenient to think too much about the various things in the meantime, as it was enough to give him a headache. Guan Ren decided to open the backend and QQ first.

Drop drop drop-

As soon as you go online, you will see a message from the editor.

【Maoya: It’s a big hit! Hahahaha!】

[Mao Ya: If you keep it up, you can basically become a god with just one book.]

【Maoya: Congratulations! 】

This message was already received at noon, but Guan Ren still replied politely.

[People in the Clouds: Yeah]

The editor sent a congratulatory message, but when Guan Ren opened the backstage, he didn't know whether it was because he was numb or because there were too many things going on in his life recently, but looking at the string of numbers, he always felt a little boring.

"Only 68,000 for the first order?"

It didn’t even break 70,000. I guess the readers aren’t working hard enough.

Should I stop updating for a while and give them a little punishment?
……

Is a first order of 68,000 a lot?

Guan Ren is not sure.

Anyway, it’s still the same old rules. Just post on Tieba and Longkong to ask.

[A newbie is asking for help again, sob sob: A new author's new book only got a few tens of thousands of first-time orders. Is that normal? Won't the big names dislike me for being such a small loser?]

There is a popular internet term at the moment called [no picture, no words].

As the name suggests, it means "If there is no picture, you are talking about the singer."

Therefore, Guan Ren did the same as usual and put a censored screenshot on the post.

This, unsurprisingly, caused a lot of criticism from people.

Are you a human?

【Lanzhou sesame cake, everything in the dream】

[Tens of thousands? Newcomer? You're really new then.]

[Which book? Please recommend chapters.]

[I'm so pissed! Why are you here again?! Are you really a newbie?!]

……

Guan Ren naturally would not say who the author was.

But seeing that many people were asking, Guan Ren felt a little guilty and afraid of being exposed, so he opened his personal profile and deleted all the posts on the forum and Tieba at once.

However, when deleting it, he also discovered another interesting phenomenon.

Under each of his posts, there is always an ID called [It would be strange if you don’t eat coriander] replying.

[It would be strange if I didn't eat cilantro: Newbies, let's work hard together! I'm a newbie too! I envy your collection! I only have over 100!]

[If you don't eat cilantro, I'd be surprised: Wow! So many tickets! Are you really a newbie? I lost two more in my collection today!]

[I'd be surprised if you didn't eat cilantro: 10,000 first-time orders in just two hours! You're definitely not a newbie! How come my first-time order was only 20!]

[I don’t eat cilantro, I’d be surprised: I’m so pissed! Why is it you again?! Are you really a newbie?!]

"It's full of exclamation marks..."

Guan Ren shook his head and smiled silently. He could only say that this newcomer did look very new.

Well, considering this person's "loyalty" in always replying to posts, Guan Ren sent a private message to [It would be strange if he didn't eat coriander] after deleting all the posts.

[Meng Xin 2011: I am indeed a newbie. As newbies, let’s work hard together. I believe you can get better too.]

---------

Not long after sending the private message, Guan Ren went to sleep.

Then the next day when I arrived at school, I went to Gu Youli's place as usual, but after I went in and sat down, I suddenly found that my desk and cabinet were empty.

"Oh!"

Guan Ren suddenly realized that Gu Youli was his former deskmate.

So I went back to the podium and looked at the schedule to see who was the current teacher of this class.

"Damn, yeah, there are three Chinese classes today..."

In other words, most of Guan Ren’s current girlfriends are Gu Wancheng.
