Rebirth 08: My Online Love Wife is a Cold and Aloof School Beauty

Chapter 119 An Invitation Under the Streetlight

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and threw away the cigarette she had been holding in her mouth.

She pulled her coat tighter, but didn't zip it up, leaving her heavy chest exposed to the breeze.

"I really want to have a normal relationship."

,

"I wonder if a woman like me will still be liked by men."

2

"If I had known this would happen, I should have grown my hair long back then."

""

Just as the woman was about to turn and leave, she caught a glimpse of the people at the table in the corner of the food stall.

Then, she saw Lin Bei.

The woman's eyes lit up, and she immediately stopped in her tracks.

"Huh?"

"Isn't this the boy who mistook me for an upperclassman at the school gate last time?"

At the time, she thought this person was quite interesting and pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, I was too busy at the time and didn't have time to chat for more than a few minutes.

At this moment, the woman's gaze shifted to the girl with a ponytail next to Lin Bei.

She glanced at it a few times and instantly imagined the relationship between the two of them, then sighed softly.

"What a pity, such a handsome guy already has a girlfriend."

,

"I don't know if I'll ever find a boyfriend like this again."

""

"I finally managed to straighten myself out, and I don't want to be ruined by women again!"

'

The woman glanced back at Lin Bei, shook her head helplessly, and then turned and disappeared into the crowd at the night market.

Meanwhile, at the food stalls...

Zhang Wei was holding a beer glass, telling Song Qingning about how he stood at attention on the first day of military training at Linbei and was praised by the instructor.

His spittle almost sprayed into the plate of edamame, which Wang Yuan found extremely distasteful.

Song Qingning laughed so hard she tapped her bowl with her chopsticks.

No one at the table noticed the brief incident under the streetlight.

Lin Bei was looking down as he replied to Boss Wu's text message, without looking up.

Around 9:30.

The skewers on the table were piled up like a small mountain, and beer bottles lay askew next to the table legs.

Zhang Wei finished off the last five skewers of mutton by himself, and said with a burp, "This is the most filling meal I've had since the start of the semester."

Wang Yuan picked out the remaining edamame beans one by one, and said disdainfully, "You really have no ambition at all."

Bai Yawen still drank the least, with more than half of the beer left in the bottle in front of him.

When Lin Bei returned after paying the bill, he stuffed the few bills he received into his pocket and said, "Let's go, we have to get up early for military training tomorrow."

We arrived at the school gate.

Zhang Wei, Wang Yuan, and Bai Yawen said goodbye to Song Qingning.

The three people said goodbye in different ways.

Zhang Wei laughed and said, "Student Song, if you come again next time, I'll have President Lin treat you to something even better."

Wang Yuan pushed up his glasses and said, "Be careful on the road."

""

Bai Yawen simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Then, the three of them, as if on cue, put their arms around each other and walked towards the dormitory building.

Zhang Wei's voice was so loud that you could hear it even half a road away.

He seemed to be arguing with Wang Yuan about who ate more of that plate of edamame.

Lin Bei put his hands in his pants pockets and glanced at Song Qingning.

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

Song Qingning was naturally willing; she just wanted to spend time alone with Lin Bei.

There is a not-too-long road between Lin Bei's school and Song Qingning's school.

The streets were lined with plane trees, and the streetlights shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting a layer of shimmering silver light on the ground.

The night breeze was cool, rustling the leaves.

In the distance, on the playground, there were a few boys jogging at night, their sneakers making muffled sounds as they stepped on the rubber track.

Song Qingning walked beside him, carrying the small crossbody bag in her hand.

The fluffy charm on her bag swayed with her steps.

.

She was unusually talkative tonight; she hadn't stopped talking since we left the food stall.

"In our school's journalism and communication department, there's a really funny girl. During military training, her hat was blown away by the wind while she was standing at attention, and she was too scared to step out of the line to pick it up."

"She stood there for ten minutes under the blazing sun with her forehead bare. When the instructor found out later, he almost choked with laughter."

"Also, the sweet and sour pork in our cafeteria is a million times better than the one in the high school cafeteria."

"But the braised pork won't do, it's too sweet. I'll definitely take you to try the sweet and sour pork another day, so you can decide for yourself."

"Also, my roommate Zhao Lin used my face wash this morning without telling me."

"Hmph! I was a little unhappy at first, but Zhao Lin treated me to an ice pop, so I forgave her, hehe—"

"And what's more, our counselor is very young, looks like a college student, and even went to the wrong classroom on the first day of class meeting."

Lin Bei walked beside Song Qingning without interrupting her or confronting her as usual.

He listened quietly.

He would nod occasionally, then hum in agreement, a faint smile always playing on his lips.

Because Song Qingning likes to use hand gestures when she speaks.

When she mentioned sweet and sour pork, she drew a circle in the air with both hands, almost hitting the trunk of the sycamore tree next to her.

Seeing this, Lin Bei reached out and gently pulled her arm back.

Song Qingning didn't pay any attention and continued talking.

When the two reached the small stone bridge between the two schools, Song Qingning suddenly slowed down.

The river water under the bridge shimmered in the night, and frogs could be heard croaking in the distance.

Song Qingning leaned on the stone bridge railing, looked up at the moon in the sky, and suddenly changed the subject: "There are only two more days of military training before we're free."

"I no longer have to stand at attention, and I no longer have to wear those camouflage pants that keep slipping down."

""

Lin Bei leaned against the railing next to her and nodded: "Congratulations, you won't have to nag about it every day anymore."

Song Qingning turned to look at Lin Bei, her eyes reflecting the shimmering water under the bridge, and asked, "By the way, are you going home for the National Day holiday?"

"No, I'm not going back." Lin Bei shook his head. "I'm planning to go out and have some fun for a few days."

Now that he finally has a holiday, his career has also become quite successful, which is much better than in his previous life.

Moreover, he now holds a fortune of over 20 million, so it's time for him to go out and explore.

Making money after being reborn is the most important thing, but enjoying life shouldn't be neglected either.

Song Qingning asked curiously, "Where are you going to play?"

"Hmm—" Lin Bei thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet, I'll talk about it later."

""

"I want to go too." Song Qingning propped herself up from the railing, turned around to face Lin Bei, and her tone changed from casual to serious.

Lin Bei said, "What are you going to do? Go home and be with your parents."

""

"My parents don't need me to accompany them; they go to square dancing by themselves," Song Qingning said, taking a step forward.

Lin Beijian walked over with a slight frown: "I may have to go to several places, and my schedule is very tight."

Song Qingning: "I have good stamina."

"You have good stamina?" Lin Bei said with a look of disdain: "Last time I went shopping, I only lasted for less than two hours before I said my legs were sore."

,

Song Qingning scoffed, "That was last time. This time is different."

Lin Bei smiled and spread his hands: "How is it different?"
