Is not being able to do as you please also called rebirth?

Chapter 43 You brat, are you feeling pretty smug?
The night view of the mountain city is beautiful, but the cold wind is also quite chilly.

Yang Huimin had only symbolically linked arms with Jiang Xun, but now she was so cold that she was practically pressed against him, making it impossible for her to maintain any distance.

Jiang Xun felt the amazing elasticity in his arm, pretending to be nonchalant on the surface, but his heart was burning with excitement.

The two strolled along Beibin Road, each holding a large, golden-brown, glistening meat skewer, their mouths greasy from eating it.

This was already the umpteenth snack they had eaten. Whenever Jiang Xun saw something he wanted to eat, he would buy it without hesitation.

"It's all your fault. If I gain weight, it must be your fault," Yang Huimin said with a soft hum as she munched on a meat skewer.

"What's wrong? Did I chew it up and feed it to you?" Jiang Xun rolled her eyes at her and said vaguely.

"Pah! Disgusting." Yang Huimin spat, her face turning red again.

"Let's go back to bed, it's too cold outside," Jiang Xun suggested, wiping his mouth as he quickly finished the meat skewers in his hand.

Seeing that Yang Huimin was about to pull his ear again, he quickly added, "I meant crawling into my own bed!"

Yang Huimin pinched the soft flesh on his arm again and said fiercely, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up."

"You can hit me, but can you not hit my palms?" Jiang Xun said pitifully.

Before Yang Huimin could speak, he suddenly chuckled softly, "I like being beaten."

After saying that, before Yang Huimin could react, he quickly turned and ran.

Yang Huimin was so angry that she gritted her teeth and chased after him, clenching her little fists.

The two chased and played along Beibin Road, gradually moving away from the hustle and bustle of the night market.

In the distance, the surface of the Jialing River was as black as iron, with the occasional whistle of a cargo ship piercing the night sky.

The neon lights along the street cast a hazy, colorful glow in the cold mist, illuminating the two shadows that sometimes merged and sometimes separated.

That year, the mountain city still had a lively, everyday atmosphere.

……

The next morning, Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin checked out of their hotel and headed to the airport. While checking in, they switched seats to be together.

While waiting for their flight, Jiang Xun whispered in Yang Huimin's ear:

"This is my first time on a plane, I'm so nervous, can you hold my hand, sister?"

After he finished speaking, he blinked his clear, bright eyes and looked at Yang Huimin somewhat shyly.

Yang Huimin believed it was his first time flying, but she didn't think he seemed nervous.

Looking at the handsome young face in front of me, I realized that this guy's skin was really good, with almost no visible pores.

His high, straight nose, soft lips, and delicate jawline made Yang Huimin's heart race.

She extended her fair fingers and pressed them against his forehead, gently pushing his head away slightly.

She couldn't stand being so close; her cheeks were already burning.

"What does your nervousness have to do with me?" Yang Huimin turned her head away from him, afraid that he would see her blushing cheeks.

Today she wore a white strapless top and a dark denim jacket, with her snow-white breasts faintly visible beneath the open neckline.

She wore a pair of bright silver round earrings, and her full lips were painted with light lipstick.

She looks stylish, beautiful, and full of femininity.

Jiang Xun was certainly not taking a plane for the first time, but this was indeed her first time in this life.

He had hoped to take this opportunity to feel the softness of Yang's hands, but was ruthlessly rejected, leaving him somewhat hurt.

He knew that Yang Huimin still had reservations, and that she could only relax a little when they were in other places.

Didn't you see that she didn't dare to be alone with Jiang Xun at school? She even avoided him for a while after the December 9th Movement. Jiang Xun was too conspicuous at No. 1 High School, and Yang Huimin obviously had to consider his reputation and future.

Just as Jiang Xun was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a cool, soft touch on his hand, and a fair hand gently grasped his broad hand.

He looked at Yang Huimin beside him with some surprise. She turned her head away and avoided his gaze, but her pink ears betrayed her shyness.

Jiang Xun gripped her hand tightly from behind, clearly feeling her fingertips unconsciously curl slightly.

Her skin was like silk soaked in warm mist; you could feel the fine lines on your fingertips, as if touching the inside of a newly opened petal.

Her fingertips were cool, but her knuckles were warm; the two temperatures mingled between her interlaced fingers, causing her to break out in a light sweat.

As Jiang Xun's thumb unconsciously brushed against the back of her hand, they both held their breath—

That tiny friction ignited a tiny spark at the nerve endings.

Neither of them spoke, seemingly savoring the throbbing in their hearts and the tingling sensation of their fingertips touching.

It wasn't until the announcement for boarding came on that Yang Huimin blushed and tried to let go of Jiang Xun's hand, but found that it was being held tightly and she couldn't let go.

"What? Tickets are being checked!" Yang Huimin's voice was unusually gentle yet alluring, her eyes watery like a pool of spring water.

"It's fine, this way of checking tickets is fine too." Jiang Xun couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

"You brat, are you feeling pretty smug?" Yang Huimin glared at Jiang Xun, her face flushed, her voice filled with embarrassment and annoyance.

"Really?" Jiang Xun chuckled and then pulled her towards the boarding gate. "Hurry up, it's time to board!"

After checking in with their simple luggage, the two boarded the plane. Yang Huimin's small hand was held tightly by Jiang Xun the whole time, and passersby frequently cast envious glances at them.

The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman is already eye-catching, let alone the fact that the two are clearly in love, holding hands even when boarding the plane and checking in.

Yang Huimin, feeling the envious gazes of those around her, lowered her head shyly, looking just like a docile young wife.

At this moment, Yang Huimin was quite different from her usual aloof and mature image, and Jiang Xun was still a little unaccustomed to it.

However, once she sat down, the familiar feeling returned immediately. Yang Huimin pinched him hard and said in a sweet voice:
"Don't let go!"

"It hasn't taken off yet." Jiang Xun acted like a rogue, unwilling to let go of those smooth and soft little hands.

“I don’t see you’re nervous at all!” Yang Huimin glared at him, struggled a couple of times but couldn’t break free, so she could only let him hold her.

"What's there to be nervous about checking in and boarding? You'll only be nervous once the plane starts taking off," Jiang Xun said innocently, blinking her eyes.

Yang Huimin was speechless. So this guy wanted to take her on the plane first, and she had misunderstood again.

Overwhelmed with shame and anger, she couldn't help but bring Jiang Xun's hand to her mouth and bite it hard.

"hiss!"

Jiang Xun immediately winced in pain; the previous teeth marks on his hand had just faded, and a new one had appeared.

"Let's see if you dare to act like a scoundrel again," Yang Huimin said with a coquettish snort.

Jiang Xun looked indignant and said through gritted teeth, "You wait, one day I'll get my revenge!"

"Go ahead and bite me if you dare," Yang Huimin said, stretching out her other hand in front of him and looking at him defiantly with her chin raised.

"I don't like biting your pig's trotters. If I'm going to bite, I'll bite somewhere else," Jiang Xun said with a snort.

Yang Huimin knew what Jiang Xun was thinking without even asking, and immediately, feeling ashamed and indignant, she unleashed a flurry of punches at him.
