My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 52 The spring night is too short, young men and women, hurry forward!
The next day.

During evening self-study, Zhou Heming habitually went to the multimedia classroom.

He wasn't even aware of the piano melody lingering in the night breeze.

Why are you all alone today?

The melody that Zhou Heming couldn't name suddenly stopped, and Lu Bai's voice came, making Zhou Heming raise his head in a daze.

Because Lu Bai wasn't in Jiangcheng yesterday, they didn't have a voice call last night.

"Oh, she should be here in a little while."

Zhou Heming wasn't quite sure.

After asking that question last night, the two of them still went home together, but they didn't study together. This morning, they went to school together as usual, but they didn't say anything.

In the evening, Zhou Heming and Qiao Jinchen ate on the back street of the school, while Cheng Shuangjiang ate in the cafeteria with her classmates.

He tried typing some text into the dialog box, but quickly deleted it after typing it.

This issue is very important to them, so Zhou Heming understands that both sides need time to think it through.

The piano music started playing again. Zhou Heming put down his phone, took out his practice problems and started writing. He had only finished two problems when he heard footsteps coming from the doorway.

Cheng Shuangjiang walked in, carrying a bag on her back.

She greeted Lu Bai with a smile, and then naturally sat down next to Zhou Heming.

Cheng Shuangjiang took out her test paper and began writing the questions.

The two wrote for a while until Lu Bai seemed to get tired of playing and got up to rest, taking out a bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips from his schoolbag.

"Eat?"

She handed it to two people.

"Ask her if she wants to eat."

Zhou Heming shook his head.

"It's delicious!"

Cheng Shuangjiang picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and praised it.

"Speaking of which, does Ah Bai have any plans for this weekend?"

"Me? I don't think so, what's wrong?"

Lu Bai gave the two of them a strange look, then popped a piece into his mouth and made a crunching sound as he chewed.

I want to ask you out.

Cheng Shuangjiang extended a sincere invitation.

"no problem."

Lu Bai glanced at Zhou Heming, who remained silent, his head down as he wrote the questions.

Something's not right.

Having been a seasoned veteran of the treacherous world of film sets for so many years, she immediately sensed the eerie atmosphere.

These two usually study together while showering each other with affection, so why are they so quiet today? They haven't even exchanged a single word with each other.

Are you two giving each other the silent treatment?

"No." "No."

The two said in unison.

"."

Lu Bai licked his fingers, took out a pack of wet wipes, and wiped his hands.

"It's definitely Zhou Heming's fault. I knew you were the one who didn't cherish your girlfriend. Did you say something wrong? Apologize properly, remember it, and don't do it again. Then this matter will be over. No grudges last overnight, uh, I don't think that's the right way to put it. Anyway, you guys will understand."

She offered words of comfort.

Actually, it was my fault.

Cheng Shuangjiang raised her left hand with a somewhat weak air.

"Uh, this"

Lu Bai was speechless for a moment, and scratched his head.

"Then you should apologize too. You two are really a match made in heaven. You always sulk like this, not saying a word. You'll suffocate one day!"

"Apologize."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuangjiang glanced at Zhou Heming beside her, who was still engrossed in his exam paper. He had already filled three pages with draft paper for that question.

"And you, Zhou Heming, just say what you have to say. You're always like this, never saying anything and pretending not to care. That's why you suffer in the end. I'm giving you a chance now. If you want to curse, then curse. I'll help you."

Lu Bai looked at the boy again.

"It didn't come to the point of resorting to insults."

Zhou Heming put down his pen and spoke hesitantly.

"Okay, I'll act as a notary. I can tell whether you two are lying or not. Then you can have an open and honest conversation to resolve the issue, OK?"

Lu Bai spoke generously, then simply moved a chair over, sat down in front of the two of them, and looked at them seriously.

Zhou Heming glanced at the girl beside him and found that she was looking at him too.

"Hurry up, the spring night is too short, young men and women, move forward quickly."

Lu Bai urged him on and started eating the remaining half bag of potato chips.

"I'll go first."

Cheng Shuangjiang said in a deep voice, causing Lu Bai to glance at her. "Although, at first, I did feel guilty and wanted to make up for it with everything I had."

"But I later realized that I was indeed attracted to you."

"Whether it's the future you or the present you, the eighteen-year-old you who is insecure, confused, hesitant, sentimental, internally conflicted, and stubborn."

I like your strengths and I love your weaknesses. What I like is you as you are, complete, real, right in front of me.

“I’m pretty sure that no matter what age we are or how we meet, I will fall hopelessly in love with you.”

"Because my soul says, I love you."

"Because what I love is your soul."

She spoke in a clear, firm, and unadulterated voice.

There were no superfluous explanations or words, only the most fervent confession.

Hearing this, Lu Bai froze in his eating of potato chips.

I initially thought there was some kind of conflict, but why did they suddenly unleash their ultimate move?
"She was telling the truth."

This was the only way to report the lie detector results to Zhou Heming.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Language is essentially a tool for conveying emotions. If there were a lie detector that could distinguish the truth, then all the fancy words would lose their meaning, and it would be better to speak frankly and sincerely.

Zhou Heming stared blankly at the table, while the girl continued to speak.

"Actually, I've been thinking about the question you raised for a long time last night and today."

The sound of the oboe intertwined with the flute, rising lightly at this moment, bringing a touch of warmth to the increasingly bleak autumn night.

"I also want a pure and untainted love, to meet Ahe by chance on an ordinary afternoon, to get to know each other in a warm and bright way, to get to know each other with a certain and solid time, to fall in love on an evening with a gentle breeze, and finally to have a long and happy life together."

Her voice sounded like anticipation, longing, and a young girl's prayer.

"But we can no longer have that kind of relationship."

"Therefore, I hope to spend every moment with Ahe."

"Therefore, my answer is that I would like eighteen-year-old A-He."

"Not only that, I will love A-He at nineteen, A-He at twenty, A-He at twenty-one. I will love you forever, until death separates us."

Zhou Heming raised his head in a daze, looking into Cheng Shuangjiang's eyes.

What is reflected in it is the appearance of an eighteen-year-old boy.

Lu Bai didn't speak, but his meaning was clear.

The boy pursed his lips, rubbed his nose, and took a deep breath.

"On our way home later, we'll buy a small cake on the way and eat it together. Please, forgive me, okay?"

He said so.

"You are the one who suffers, you are the one who struggles, and you are the one who shoulders everything, yet I only think about these things. I'm sorry."

Zhou Heming responded with his own apology.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shuangjiang's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately remained silent, only the slight trembling of her eyelashes revealing the girl's inner thoughts.

Finally, she blinked hard and nodded.

"This is the kind of Ah-He I love."

Lu Bai watched the two of them, ate the last potato chip, and muttered to himself.

"Is it just my imagination? I have this feeling that I've become part of some kind of play for you guys."

"That's not true."

Cheng Shuangjiang once again revealed that innocent smile.

Do you want some cake?

Zhou Heming thought about it and felt that he still needed to thank Lu Bai.

Upon closer reflection, the ability to see through lies is indeed remarkable.

Being able to see into the other person's heart, without worrying about suspicion and misunderstanding, is like having a cheat code in a relationship.

If it weren't for Lu Bai today, Zhou Heming wouldn't know how he and Cheng Shuangjiang would have solved this problem.

Even if he or she eventually relents or comes to terms with it, the resentment will remain, the disappointment will accumulate, and the rift will never be mended.

Now, at least, he can confirm the girl's feelings, along with his own.

The scales that measure love are indeed gradually moving toward balance.

"Me? Forget it, cakes are too high in calories. Do you know how hard actors work to maintain their figure?"

Lu Bai waved his hand in refusal.

Zhou Heming glanced at the whole bag of potato chips she had just eaten and felt that she didn't really not want to eat cake, but rather she didn't want to eat dog food.

"Let's go out and have fun together this weekend, the three of us!"

Cheng Shuangjiang made the suggestion.

".OK."

Lu Bai glanced at Zhou Heming and responded.

The melody of the flute and oboe eventually subsided, yet it seemed to linger, faintly audible in the wind.

Outside the window, a gentle breeze blows, and ginkgo leaves fall one by one.
