Rebirth: My dad is too obedient

Chapter 225 Isn't This Brother Bing?
White moonlight, white mosquito net.

Two people lay face to face, with four hands clasped together.

Xu Chen opened his eyes and found Xie Bingran still looking at him with his big eyes blinking.

"Why do not you sleep?"

"I can't bear to..." Xie Bingran replied in a low voice.

Xu Chen pulled out a hand and touched Xie Bingran's face:
"Be good, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."

"Oh."

She closed her eyes gently and squeezed Xu Chen's big hand tightly again.

Xu Chen closed his eyes, and after a while he secretly opened them again...

Sure enough, Xie Bingran was staring at him again.

"..."

She bit her lips lightly and whispered:
"Can I come into your arms?"

Xu Chen sighed softly:

"It really is a test of concentration..."

Xie Bingran seemed not to understand and thought it was a rejection of "evading the question", and a look of loneliness appeared on her face.

Xu Chen raised his upper arm and opened his arms.

Xie Bingran smiled, moved her body, and came in happily.

The puppy goes home.

……

……

The sky was getting slightly brighter in the early morning.

Xu Chen was awakened by the crowing of the village rooster.

He was still sleepy, and he reached out to touch, and found that Xie Bingran was not in his arms.

I stood up and sat up, and heard some noise coming from below. It seemed that Xie Bingran had gotten up early.

He crawled out of the mosquito net, stretched comfortably, and looked at the time on his mobile phone. It was not yet six o'clock.

Walking down from the roof along the stone steps, I saw Xie Bingran holding a broom and cleaning the main room.

When she saw Xu Chen, she quickly dropped the broom and walked over.

"You can still sleep a little longer."

Xu Chen smiled and took the soft and tactile hand:
"Let me help you clean up!"

“I’ve finished cleaning…

I guess he won’t be back for a long time, so I’ll just scan it.”

She paused and said, "Let's leave before daybreak. I don't like running into people from the village."

"Okay."

Xie Bingran lowered her head, but threw herself into Xu Chen's arms again, hugging him tightly and greedily.

Xu Chen's heart softened and he stroked her head with his hand.

……

The two men climbed onto the roof of the south room again and together took down the mosquito net, cool mat, bamboo poles and other items and put them back in their respective places.

They scooped some cool well water from the basin and each of them washed up and rested.

Xie Bingran washed his face and used his wet hands to casually smooth back the hair on his forehead, revealing the cool look of "Brother Bing" again.

"What's wrong?" She found Xu Chen staring at her.

"What? You won't let me see it?" Xu Chen said jokingly.

Xie Bingran smiled and went to the inner room alone, perhaps to get something else.

Xu Chen picked up the thermos and poured himself a cup of hot water that he had boiled last night.

Maybe the thermos bottle is not good at keeping the heat, the water poured out is only warm, but just right for drinking.

Xu Chen took a sip and found it had a refreshing and sweet taste.

……

Xie Bingran, carrying a backpack, looked around the house and then walked out with Xu Chen.

Remove the wooden bolt and open the door with a creak.

Looking around, I found that the alley was empty, but the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard from deep in the village.

Closed the door and locked it.

Xie Bingran looked at it carefully, then bent down, pulled out a blue brick from the corner, and put the key in it.

……

Xu Chen started the car, and the sound immediately attracted several barking dogs from nearby neighbors.

Turn the car around and leave.

Xie Bingran held a backpack in his arms, turned his head through the car window, and looked back carefully...

This is her hometown village where she has lived for more than ten years and has many beautiful and ugly memories.

……

The car stopped for a while at a cemetery beside the river.

Xie Bingran got out of the car alone and went to her grandmother's grave to say goodbye.

Her eyes were red as she walked back to the car.

Xu Chen didn't say anything, but smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek. The car started again and drove out along the bumpy country road beside the river.

……

"I'll take you to eat something first, and I can play with you in the morning...

I have to go back to my dad’s company at noon to pick up some things, and then I have to go to the event site in the afternoon.”

Xu Chen turned around and glanced at Xie Bingran:

"Do you want to eat anything?"

Xie Bingran thought about it seriously, and then asked:
"What do you want to eat?"

“That’s a good question…”

He pondered for a moment: "I remember when I was in junior high school, I took you to eat the fried dough sticks behind the school. I wonder if it's still open..."

……

Half an hour later, the car arrived in the town.

The sky was already bright and busy crowds of people began to appear on the streets.

Xu Chen drove directly to the junior high school in the town and parked the car in a street behind the school.

The two got out of the car, walked a few steps forward, and arrived at the school gate.

"There really hasn't been any change at all." Xu Chen looked up at the campus behind the iron gate and couldn't help but sigh.

Xie Bingran pointed and said, "That one is our classroom, right?"

Xu Chen smiled and nodded.

……

After crossing a street behind the school, you will arrive at the "Fried Crispy Bread" breakfast shop.

The atmosphere was bustling with life, and some old men and women were having breakfast.

Xie Bingran sat down casually at the small table at the door, while Xu Chen went in to get some fire.

Freshly-baked steamed buns, two bowls of fresh soy milk, a plate of beef offal, and a plate of pickles.

The beef offal naturally belonged to Xu Chen, and Xie Bingran didn't dare to touch them.

The roasted food is golden and crispy, and it makes a crunchy sound when you bite it.

The dough core is soft and layered, and the aroma is overflowing.

With a bowl of hot soy milk, it's heavenly...

Brother Bing also ate quite heartily and swallowed a whole steamed bun in just a few bites.

"Do you want more?" Xu Chen asked with a smile.

Brother Bing clapped his hands: "I'm full."

Xu Chen chewed a piece of beef tendon and said:
"It's summer vacation, there should be no one in school...

I remember there was a small iron gate behind the dormitory building, but I wondered if I could still get in."

Brother Bing said casually:
"Just go in through the back door of the staff dormitory..."

Xu Chen was stunned.

But soon he realized that when it came to skipping classes and being late, Brother Bing was indeed better than him.

……

Before leaving, Xie Bingran went to the small shop next door and bought a pack of soft-box Red Baxi.

She put the cigarette in her pocket and walked out with her hands in her pockets.

"It's for the security guard." Brother Bing explained.

Xu Chen: “…”

Xie Bingran: "At that time, we entered the school from the back door and just handed the old man a cigarette."

"..."

……

Staff dormitory, back door.

The iron door was bolted but not locked.

There was an old man sitting in the security booth, holding a newspaper to cover his face.

Xie Bingran walked to the door with his hands in his pockets, reached out and skillfully removed the bolt, then pushed the iron door open and went in naturally.

Xu Chen followed Brother Bing and felt that this experience was very fresh.

The security guard heard the noise and put down the newspaper in his hand. He looked up and saw Xie Bingran, but he stared at her in a daze.

Xie Bingran said nothing and handed over the pack of soft Baxi.

The security guard smiled and took it:

"Isn't this 'Bing brother'? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xie Bingran nodded and walked inside with his hands in his pockets.

Xu Chen followed closely with his hands in his pockets.

The security guard sat back, tore open the pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

While lighting a cigarette, he glanced at the newspaper at hand:
"Tiancheng athlete Xie Bingran broke the National Games women's 100-meter hurdles record..."

A slightly blurry photo was also included.

The security guard took a big puff of his cigarette and stared in amazement.
