No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 93: New Troubles Brought by Gu Wancheng (4000 words)
"Sister Qiaoyun, what do you want to eat this morning?"

When he got up in the morning, Guan Ren rubbed his eyes and went to the kitchen, where he smelled a fragrance.

Bah da.

Guan Qiaoyun put the pressure cooker on and walked out of the kitchen:
"Lotus leaf porridge."

"Where did the lotus leaves come from?"

"I gave it to an old lady who was buying tofu when I was shopping for groceries yesterday."

"Then where did she come from?"

"From a butcher."

"Where did the butcher get the lotus leaves?"

Guan Ren was reminded of a famous scene from Water Margin:

"Sister Qiaoyun, the butcher isn't called Zheng the butcher, is he?"

"No, where do you get all that nonsense from?"

Guan Qiaoyun couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurried from the kitchen to the bedroom to put on makeup. This brat kept nagging along with her all the way, even more so than her.

To be honest, Guan Qiaoyun also discovered it these two days.

Ever since he came back from his business trip, Guan Ren loved to chat with her about all sorts of things whenever he had nothing to do, and he liked to bother her like a little kid.

"Sister Qiaoyun~"

"If you have something to say, let's talk about it. I don't have time to chat with you..."

Guan Qiaoyun sat in front of the dressing table with her hair in a bun, while Guan Ren was going crazy beside her. He fell on Guan Qiaoyun's fragrant bed and rolled around twice:
"Sister Qiaoyun——~"

"Are you done yet? Tell me!"

"Hey, nothing~"

"..."

Guan Qiaoyun almost vomited blood and really wanted to pick up a comb and throw it at the fool lying on the bed.

But in the end, work is more important, so I don’t bother to pay attention to his madness.

……

In fact, Guan Ren’s madness depends on the situation.

For example, this morning he got up a few minutes earlier and used these few minutes to wake up. Since he had nothing to do during that time, he decided to bother Guan Qiao Yun for a while.

"Sister Qiaoyun."

"Call Mom!"

"Mom, tomorrow is Saturday, are you working overtime?"

"do not add."

"it is good!"

Guan Ren was very satisfied. He raised his hand to pat the quilt, but felt it was cool and soft in his hand.

After rubbing it, I picked it up and saw that it was another pair of light brown pantyhose that I had taken off yesterday.

"..."

Although Guan Qiaoyun is a woman who can keep the house neat and tidy, her habit of throwing stockings everywhere is really not a good thing.

"What's so good about that? That's enough. Stop making small talk. Go for your morning run and come back to eat properly."

"mom."

Guan Ren rubbed his nose:

"I mean, how about we have a date tomorrow, Saturday?"

"hehe."

Guan Qiaoyun sneered while smearing her lipstick:

"Just tell me what you want to eat out."

"I haven't thought about it yet, just agree first."

"That depends on your performance."

"What performance?"

"The midterm exam is coming up next month. Let's see if you can maintain your previous progress."

"No ..."

Guan Ren laughed bitterly, got off the bed, and went over to rub her shoulders:

"Sister Qiaoyun..."

"Call Mom!"

"Qiao Yun's mother..."

"?"

"Can't you see the performance you're talking about? You can't predict the future. We're going on a date tomorrow, and you want me to see how I'll perform next month? That's unreasonable, isn't it?"

"Too."

Guan Qiaoyun looked in the mirror and put on a pair of silver rhinestone earrings, saying casually:

"Then let's not make an appointment."

"No, we have to make an appointment. I really want to go out for dinner tomorrow."

"Then you can find a female classmate to go with. Luo Xiaobei is good, or that Gu Youli. Didn't you say she's Teacher Gu's sister? If you get along well with her, maybe the teacher can take care of you..."

"Well, I have a good enough relationship with her, and Teacher Gu takes good care of her."

"..."

Guan Qiaoyun paused, turned around and stared at Guan Ren.

"?"

Guan Ren blinked and whispered tentatively:
"Mom...what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Guan Qiaoyun turned around:
"Good."

Although she did not like people with the surname Gu, that was selfish after all, and an illusory selfishness at that. Guan Qiaoyun would not really do anything just because her son was taken care of by a person with the surname Gu. That would be too outrageous.

It's just that when you hear something like this, you can't help but react.

"Sister Qiaoyun."

Guan Ren looked at the time and it was time for his morning run, so he didn't hesitate:
"I can't see your performance, but I can promise you that I will do no worse than my last monthly exam on the midterm exam. Is that okay?"

Guan Qiaoyun finished packing her handbag, stood up, looked at him, and pointed a finger at his nose:

"no sooner said than done?"

"no sooner said than done!"

Guan Ren nodded:

"So we have an appointment for tomorrow?"

"Ah."

So Guan Ren went to change his clothes and prepare for his morning run.

And a smile appeared on Guan Qiaoyun's rosy lips.

In fact, no matter whether Guan Ren shows his intention or not, or promises or not, she will definitely agree to the appointment tomorrow.

Not for anything else.

Just because tomorrow is not only the weekend, but also October 18th.

It’s my son’s birthday this year.

----------

Not long after, on the playground.

As the weather gets colder, visibility in the morning is reduced due to fog and dark skies.

So the school playground was even deserted so early in the morning.

Even the old ladies taking a walk, which you can still see when the weather is warm, would not choose to do so at this time.

The only one who can be active here is Guan Ren.

At least that's what Guan Ren thought when he first arrived on the runway.

However, just as Guan Ren was running on the track, he suddenly saw in front of him, under the faint skylight and in the hazy fog, there seemed to be a figure.

And it appears to be a female figure.

Guan Ren can confirm this.

Although the figure was wrapped in a gray sports jacket and sweatpants, it could not hide her tall and graceful figure.

This made Guan Ren feel a chill in his heart.

No way?
I have been running for so long, how come a woman running like me suddenly appeared in this morning fog today?
Could it be... that he is not a human?
Indeed, Guan Ren is a staunch materialist fighter.

But the thought that popped up in my mind at this moment was related to the "Ghost Stories Collection" I just read yesterday.

As luck would have it, one of the stories was about this time period. The protagonist was walking in the early morning fog when he saw a woman's back in front of him. No matter how much he called out to her, she didn't respond. Finally, a faint female voice appeared in his ears. Then, he turned around suddenly and saw a blood-red female head with a sad smile...

"Alas…"

Thinking of the story he read at that time, Guan Ren felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

What was even more terrifying was that when he looked up again, he found that the figure in front of him had disappeared.

Fortunately, not long after I quickened my pace, the other party appeared again.

By the way, I observed that there was indeed a faint shadow dancing next to the pair of white shoes on her feet. Yes, that's right.

Sure enough, this world is material.

However, for psychological comfort, Guan Ren still followed her and kept her within his sight.

I followed her for about half a lap, and then she stopped, bent down, and supported her hands on her knees, looking a little out of breath.

Guan Ren naturally caught up with her, and when he passed by her, he froze and stopped.

"Gu...Teacher Gu?"

"?!"

Gu Wancheng shuddered. She was obviously just like Guan Ren. She had not expected that there would be someone else on the track besides herself so early in the morning.

"Guan Ren...?"

She straightened up, her eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
"Why are you here?"

"I'm going for a morning run."

Guan Ren smiled helplessly:
"Teacher Gu, I want to ask, why are you here?"

"I... also run in the morning."

Gu Wancheng panted and pondered for a moment:

"Why did you come for a morning run today?"

"No, no, no, Teacher Gu, you don't know, I actually run every day, for more than a month."

Gu Wancheng was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said "Oh".

"Teacher Gu, what about you? I haven't seen you jogging in the morning before. Why are you suddenly running today?"

"Ah."

Gu Wancheng nodded:

“I lost…”

"?"

"I...I'll take some free time to run and exercise..."

"That's true."

Guan Ren gave a thumbs up:
"But Mr. Gu, there's something wrong with the way you run."

"has a problem?"

Gu Wancheng raised his chin slightly in doubt:

"what is the problem?"

"Look at how long you've been running. Don't your lungs feel uncomfortable already?"

Gu Wancheng nodded slightly, looked at his chest rising and falling under his sports jacket, and remained silent as if thinking about something.

"When you start running, especially in cold weather, you must pay attention to keeping your breathing rhythm even."

“Even…”

"Yes, I believe you have heard of it, but you forget it when you do it, right?"

"..."

"It's okay, Teacher Gu. Just follow me and try to get the hang of it. Like this..."

……

Guan Ren demonstrated on the spot while speaking.

Gu Wancheng was a little hesitant when facing this student at first, but immediately started to learn from her.

After learning it, I tried it for a while and felt that it was indeed much better.

So the teacher and student ran side by side.

But as he ran, Gu Wancheng kept feeling that a student next to him was looking at him, so he glanced sideways coldly and happened to meet Guan Ren's gaze.

"cough…"

Guan Ren was embarrassed and turned his eyes away.

In fact, it’s not that he likes to look at other people that much.

It was just that Gu Wancheng tied her hair into a single ponytail when she went for a morning run, which really made Guan Ren feel very fresh.

At least he had never seen Gu Wancheng with a hairstyle like this before.

Apart from Gu Youli, Guan Ren felt that he was probably the first person to see Teacher Gu with a ponytail.

Moreover, her ponytail was tied higher and longer than her sister's. When tied behind her head, she looked quite cool, adding a different kind of charming charm to the 26-year-old young female teacher. This made Guan Ren look at her a few more times from time to time.

After a while, Gu Wancheng felt a little hot from running, so he ran with his coat open.

She was wearing the same T-shirt as Guan Ren.

But it is not as loose as Guan Ren's, but a slim sports style for women.

So whether it is the slender waist or the fruits on the slender limbs, the perfect lines are clearly outlined.

As soon as he started running, the trembling sound reminded Guan Ren of the branches bent by heavy snow in winter. He was distracted and stumbled forward several steps.

"?"

Fortunately, Gu Wancheng heard the noise and reached out to hold his arm before he fell, preventing him from falling to the ground.

But it fell on himself.

Then, the familiar and pleasant fragrance mixed with slightly warm sweat penetrated Guan Ren's nose at close range, making him unable to help but take a deep breath.

"..."

"Uh…"

But Guan Ren immediately stood up and looked at Gu Wancheng's calm almond eyes, not daring to ask her for more support:

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. Well, you go ahead and I'll sit downstairs in the warehouse for a while."

Gu Wancheng nodded, but when Guan Rengang walked to the long bench in the sports warehouse, he found that Gu Wancheng had followed him.

"Teacher Gu, aren't you going to run?"

"I'll take a break too..."

Gu Wancheng said this and sat down at the other end of the bench.

But Guan Ren soon discovered that her brows were a little tense and her feet were restlessly standing on tiptoe.

"Teacher Gu? Did you sprain your ankle again?"

It would have been better if he didn't say it. The word "again" instantly reminded Gu Wancheng of the embarrassing situation in the office last time. Two cold eyes glared at Guan Ren fiercely.

Guan Ren immediately stopped talking in anger.

The two of them were silent.

Gu Wancheng was still a little restless.

Finally, as if he couldn't help it anymore, he bent down and untied one of the laces of his little white shoes.

Guan Ren suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized something.

It turned out that the plastic particles from the playground had gotten into my shoes. That was really uncomfortable...

Sure enough, after Gu Wancheng untied his shoelaces, took off his shoes, turned them over and knocked them on the ground a few times, and a string of small particles fell out.

Guan Ren couldn't help but focus his attention on her dangling foot, and was a little amazed for a moment.

……

Guan Ren used to think that since Gu Wancheng often wore high heels, her feet wouldn’t look very good.

After all, not everyone is like Guan Qiaoyun. Even though she wears high heels frequently, her bones do not become deformed due to her natural bone structure and usual protective measures.

But in fact, Guan Ren was wrong.

It turns out that Gu Wancheng's foot shape is also perfect.

The size is just like the palm of your hand, the heel is round and full, and the sole of the foot looks just the right amount of fleshy. The whole foot, along with the clear arch, is wrapped in gray shallow-mouth boat socks with lace hollow patterns.

Such boat socks are often worn with shallow-mouthed high heels when stockings are not worn.

This was Gu Wancheng's first morning run today, so he was obviously prepared casually and came wearing this.

But I have to say, it is indeed very beautiful.

And perhaps because she felt a little relaxed after taking off her shoes, the toes on her dangling feet unconsciously sometimes curled up and sometimes slightly raised, and the toes of her socks were slightly exposed with the glossy light blue nail polish.

At the same time, it is clear enough to see that the toes are very neat and symmetrical, and the pads of the toes are full enough.

Hanging there like this, swaying gently on the soles of the feet, it even exudes an inexplicable sense of cuteness.

Clever…

Guan Ren couldn't help but smile.

There are really few things about Gu Wancheng that can be associated with the word "well-behaved" in her temperament.

But apparently her beautiful feet are an exception.

It can even be said that the more fierce her temperament is, the more adorable Gu Wancheng's well-behaved and beautiful feet appear to Guan Ren at this moment.

"..."

"!"

Unfortunately, the delicious food... ugh!... didn't last long.

After Gu Wancheng became suspicious of Guan Ren's blank gaze, Guan Ren no longer dared to pay attention. While pretending to look forward, he was forced to sniff the occasional charming and slightly damp fragrance that drifted over. He couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his heart:
Sigh, I finally got used to this woman's body fragrance next to the podium...

As a result, I feel like I have to add another worry...
