Rebirth: Back to before my girlfriend dropped out of school

Chapter 21 He wants to accompany her and keep moving forward

"Sui Sui, why don't we run away, away from all this, to a place where no one can find us."

Tong Yusui looked at him helplessly, as if he was looking at someone who was making trouble for no reason. Xia Zhuomian quickly realized that he had come up with a bad idea. They were all ordinary people, underage, and had no education. Where could they go and how could they make a living? Moreover, they had no ability to change their identities and live. As long as those people wanted to investigate, they would be able to find out.

Xia Zhuomian lowered his head dejectedly and took a sip of fruit tea.

"Let's go, let's not talk about this anymore. Take me out for a walk. I'm going back tomorrow." Tong Yusui spoke to ease the atmosphere.

"Ah, it's so early, let's go, I'll take you out to play." Xia Zhuomian calmed down and took her out for a walk. He first went home to ride the electric bike at home and took her to visit famous places nearby. Later, the two of them went shopping in the mall and went to a Wuya Bookstore. This bookstore was very large, and the bookshelves rose in a spiral. The wooden steps were full of charm, and the shelves were installed with warm yellow light strips. The books on the shelves stood quietly in the light, showing infinite tolerance.

When he left, Tong Yusui bought him two books and said, "These are the ones I like to read. I wonder if you like them."

These two books are modern reading materials, which describe other people's lives. One is a love story of a non-marriage person who encounters the glamorous life, and the other is the story of a warm and free-spirited backpacker who travels around and meets countless like-minded friends. The core content of both books is about distance and freedom.

This is a rare opportunity for her to see all kinds of people and scenery around the world through other people's stories in her impoverished present.

Xia Zhuomian couldn't help laughing when he saw the two books he had read reappear. It turned out that Suisui had read these two books a long time ago. He later saw these two books on the bookshelf in Suisui's house. Except for feeling a little old, the rest of the books were preserved very perfectly. It was obvious that its owner had collected them very carefully.

"I like it very much, thank you!"

He had already read these two books, but it would be nice to read them again. It was only after he met Suisui that he developed the habit of reading modern books. Before, he preferred books like "Fragments of Thoughts in Sickness".

"As long as you like it." Tong Yusui regretted it right after she gave it to him. She just found her favorite books here while browsing and shared them with him without thinking much. But after giving it to him, she felt a little embarrassed. She was afraid that he didn't like this kind of books, and she was also afraid that he would think these books were a bit low-level.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and countless neon lights lit up, illuminating the entire sky. The surroundings were still bustling, even more so.

"Let's go. I know a hot pot restaurant that's really delicious. I'll take you there." Xia Zhuomian suggested first. He knew Sui Sui liked hot pot.

However, Suisui likes spicy food, but he can't handle it very well. When they go out together, they always order a shabu-shabu hotpot. Sometimes, when he sees Suis eating delicious food, he gets curious and tries it, but the spiciness always makes him cry. Every time he sees him like this, Suisui laughs at him, wipes his tears, and says he is trying to be stubborn.

"Okay." Tong Yusui really likes hot pot and was quite happy about this suggestion.

After arriving, Tong Yusui really liked the meal. The two of them enjoyed it very much. After the meal, Tong Yusui was ready to find a hotel, but Xia Zhuomian insisted on following her and booked a hotel for her before leaving. The most ordinary standard room cost three hundred, which was ridiculously expensive.

But the hygiene and safety here are higher than those in a hotel. Tong Yusui didn't say anything because he was only staying for one night. The two of them argued about paying, and finally Xia Zhuomian paid. The two of them went to the room with the room card. As soon as they put their things away, Xia Zhuomian's phone rang.

Xia Zhuomian looked at the note and felt a little guilty, "Mom."

The voice on the other end was still gentle, but Xia Zhuomian knew his mother so well that he could already hear a threat in her words. "Did you have fun playing with your classmates? Do you have enough money?... You have to go to school tomorrow, so don't come back too late."

Mother Xia hung up the phone after she finished speaking. Tong Yusui listened to these gentle and affectionate words, her eyebrows slightly lowered, and she put her things away. "You should go back soon. I've already packed up here, and it's time to go to bed soon."

"Well, goodbye." It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Xia Zhuomian knew that he could not keep her, but he was still reluctant to let her go as he thought that she would leave tomorrow. After he said this, he still looked at her without moving.

Tong Yusui knew that he was waiting for her. She raised her eyes and looked at him seriously, then slowly approached with her arms open.

Xia Zhuomian subconsciously moved closer. She hugged him gently and said softly, "See you next time."

"Well, see you next time." Xia Zhuomian was a little stunned, but then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. The smile gradually widened and he couldn't stop it. He looked at her, turned around shyly and walked out. After leaving the door, he looked at her and said loudly again, "See you next time."

"Let's go!" Tong Yusui let them go and closed the door to block out the burning gaze.

Even as they walked out, Xia Zhuomian couldn't stop grinning. It turned out that the phrase "next time we meet" was so beautiful. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He got on his bike and rode into the wind, his heart feeling incredibly bright and light. All the confusion of being reborn disappeared. He thought, he wanted to stay with her and keep moving forward, even if it still took the same old road...

The next morning, Tong Yusui bought a ticket to go home. After returning, she first found Wang Shicheng to explain her purpose. Wang Shicheng looked at the still somewhat immature girl in front of him and was surprised. Most people would either avoid or stay away from such a place early, but she actually wanted to go early. After a long while, he replied, "If you really want to go, I will ask Master Hai later, but..."

After all, he had watched him grow up, so Wang Shicheng showed some kindness and reminded him, "That's not a good place. Once you go there, it's hard to get out."

"Yes, I know. Thank you, Uncle Cheng." Tong Yusui's expression did not relax at all, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

After solving this problem, she returned home exhausted. The bed was too soft yesterday and she couldn't get used to it, so she didn't sleep well. Now she just wanted to go back and have a good sleep.

"Click." She took out the key and opened the door, and saw her mother sitting on the sofa. She was playing with her cell phone, but when she heard the sound, she threw the phone away. She looked at Tong Yusui with a very bad expression, and the words she said were even more unpleasant.

"You still remembered to come back? I thought you were dead out there. What happened? You couldn't make it and came back?" Ying Chunmei said, looking at her critically, proud but also disgusted. "Do you think everyone in the world is like your mother, who only cares about your food and sleep? If you die on the street out there, no one will even look at you."

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand as if giving a gift, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. You just happened to be back and cook for me. My hand hasn't healed yet, and I haven't eaten well these past two days. You too, your mother is not in good health, and you still run out. I think you will be a heartless person in the future..."

Tong Yusui was already tired, and after hearing these words, she looked at her coldly. Ying Chunmei continued to talk as if she knew nothing. Suddenly, "bang."
