After rebirth, I gave up Bai Yueguang

Jiang Yi and his mother returned to their room. Seeing his mother's relaxed expression, he felt relieved as well. As soon as he entered the room, he fell on the bed. He asked with a smile, "What were you looking for just now?"

Mother Jiang glanced at her son, her expression no longer as tense as before, but she still said nothing.

"You're quite sensible and haven't done anything you shouldn't at home." Mother Jiang's tone was still very serious. "Tell me, what's going on now? How could it be a female classmate?"

"I didn't tell you it was a male classmate." Jiang Yi pretended to be innocent. "Besides, who told you not to ask?"

"You..." Mother Jiang was helpless and laughed out of anger.

Jiang Yi recounted Su Jing's situation in detail, adding more details and even saying clearly, "Don't worry, Mom, she and I are just brothers. I can't stand her aggressive personality and her dislike of cleaning the room. My girlfriend must be very beautiful."

"She is very beautiful, tall and has a good figure." Mother Jiang interrupted.

"Tsk, is she as handsome as your son?" Jiang Yi raised his head with disdain and asked.

That's right, who could be as good-looking as their own son? Not to mention that Jiang Yi was so good-looking that it was hard to tell whether he was a boy or a girl, even those ugly children were the most handsome in the world in their mother's eyes.

Mother Jiang was speechless. She glared at her son and said, "Shame on you."

Jiang Yi smiled cutely again and said, "I haven't finished yet, don't interrupt me."

"Go ahead."

"Secondly, you must be like my dearest mother, who can cook delicious meals and clean the house. There must not be any dirt or mess in the house at any time. I absolutely cannot accept a girl like her who doesn't put away clothes and goes to bed when she is tired." Jiang Yi said with certainty.

"I think she can cook too. Didn't she make breakfast for you? And..." Mother Jiang was thinking and didn't say the second half of the sentence for a long time.

Seeing that his mother was speechless for a long time, Jiang Yi continued, "She is definitely not the kind of casual girl you think. It was not her idea to move home. She didn't agree at all. I forced her to move in."

He paused and continued, "Think about it, such a big accident happened that day. If I hadn't happened to think of helping her check if the house would leak, she would have let that gangster..." Mother Jiang nodded thoughtfully.

"She's not your girlfriend, and you said you don't like her, so why do you care so much about her? You even wanted to go and help someone check if their house was leaking during a thunderstorm. If you say there's really nothing going on between you and her, how can I believe you?" Mother Jiang still felt that her son's words had too many loopholes, and continued to ask.

"She asked me to borrow her car when she was moving, and I took Uncle Li with me to help her move. When I got there, I saw the house was rundown and old, and I felt it was unsafe, so I asked her to find another place. But she said she had already paid and wanted to stay until the end of the term. That's why I thought of going to take a look when it was raining heavily that day."

Jiang Yi paused, observing his mother's expression. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he continued, "Something happened that day, and classes had to start the next day. How could she have the time to slowly look for an apartment? So I just moved her things home and lived there first. After all, the room is empty anyway, and I have someone to study with me. Right?"

Jiang Yi glanced at his mother again, grinning. "I passed all my grades last semester, you know. My English improved and I even entered a competition and won a prize. It was all in the newspaper. She also makes breakfast for me every day, as you saw. So, what's wrong with her living at home?"

Jiang Yi finished blabbering and looked at his mother eagerly. His eyes were full of hope.

"But, you're both young people. Living together like this at this age, I'm always worried that something might happen." Mother Jiang was still worried. "Besides, if she lives at home like this for a long time, people will inevitably see her. She's a little girl, and it wouldn't be good for her if people gossip about her."

"We've already agreed to talk less at school, but she never really paid any attention to me. She's obsessed with getting into a good university and going abroad, so she spends all day doing homework. If I try to say a few more words, she'll glare at me fiercely." Jiang Yi looked unhappy when he said this. "She gets off the bus a kilometer away from the school and walks in on her own, so she won't be seen by her classmates. As for others, if anyone asks, just say you're her goddaughter." Jiang Yi didn't care. "My family's affairs are none of their business."

"But don't you hate girls who don't like to clean up? Why can you tolerate her?" Mother Jiang was really confused by this. It was a good thing that her son was kind. At most, he could help her rent a small house. He didn't have much money, so why would he let her trouble him?

"Oh, she's in such a difficult situation now, what's wrong with helping her? If she doesn't know how to clean up, I'll do it myself." Jiang Yi said with a look of disgust and helplessness.

Mother Jiang's heart skipped a beat: This is truly extraordinary. Does her son truly not like this girl? Or does he already like her but doesn't even know it? So many girls have come to our house before, and he's never done anything for them, never considered them. But now, not only is he letting her live in his house, he's even offering to clean her room himself. If that's not love, then what is?

She thought again about how Su Jing looked just now. She was okay, not as pretty as her son, but she was a good match. She seemed open and honest, with no signs of ill intentions. Her son not only accepted her flaws but also seemed to protect her. His grades had indeed improved, and he'd been spending less time with his old group of friends who'd dropped out of school early. If they were really together, there was nothing wrong with that.

Mother Jiang tilted her head, thinking carefully about her son. She stared at Jiang Yi for a long time, and seeing Jiang Yi's panic, he couldn't understand what his mother was thinking. He asked anxiously, "Is it okay? She lives at home, downstairs. She hasn't even stepped on the edge of the stairs in all these days. She's very well-behaved. She rarely even stays in the living room except in the kitchen."

"Mom..." Jiang's mother remained silent, and Jiang Yi became anxious. "Speak."

Mother Jiang still tilted her head and looked at him, but she was already laughing inwardly. This was the first time she had seen her son's expression like this, so earnestly expecting her approval for a girl. In the past, if he didn't get what he wanted, he would either act like a spoiled child or slam the door and walk away, ignoring her for days until he got what he wanted.

But this time, his attitude was completely different from before, which was interesting. Mother Jiang looked at her son with amusement.

After watching for a long time, Jiang Yi was almost unable to suppress his anger. Mother Jiang spoke again, "It's not a big deal to just let her live at home. The room is empty anyway. But," she paused, looking at her son seriously, her tone very solemn, "Can you guarantee that you and he are really just classmates?"

"Of course!" Jiang Yi's tone was also very affirmative.

"Do you know what kind of impact it would have on a girl's life if something really happened between you two? Even if you, my family, are willing to take responsibility and you two will get married in the future, if something happens now and gets out, it will have a very, very negative impact on her, very, very serious."

"Of course I know, and she also talked to me about this problem a few days ago. I understand, Mom." Jiang Yi's eyes were full of emotion: "I really just want to help her. Didn't you teach me to help others since I was a child?" He put a beautiful hat on his mother.

But he didn't tell his mother that after he escaped being implicated by the police, he had a hunch that Su Jing would bring him good luck. He also didn't tell her that ever since he accidentally picked up Su Jing in the alley and took her to the hospital, he inexplicably always wanted to be good to her, and should be good to her.

Su Jing was in her room, halfway through a math test. She was so hungry she felt like banging her head against the wall. She was so hungry! Math, for her, had always required perseverance, but now her stomach was growling, and she simply couldn't continue. She'd have to deal with it herself when they came down, so she could do it again for him.

Su Jing gently opened the door. The living room was empty, and she didn't hear any arguing or talking from the second floor. No quarrel, thank goodness. She tiptoed to the dining table and brought the egg fried rice back to the kitchen.

Su Jingxu closed the kitchen door, held the fried rice in her hand, leaned against the wall beside the door, pricked up her ears, and ate the rice mouthful by mouthful.

She didn't realize that her movements had become a little sneaky without her realizing it.

After a few bites, Su Jing heard the door upstairs open, followed by the sound of the mother and son talking and coming downstairs. She quickly swallowed the rice in her mouth, put the bowl on the kitchen counter, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, opened the door and walked out of the kitchen.

"Auntie." Su Jing called out with a smile.

Mother Jiang approached her. She was very small and looked up at her. This time, her eyes had become very gentle, just like the look Su Jing was familiar with in her previous life.

"Su Jing, Xiaoyi has already told me everything about you. Just stay home and don't worry about rent or other expenses. To others, just tell them you're my niece. Be careful at school and don't let others gossip about you. It's not good for you." Mother Jiang said gently, "Xiaoyi passed all his exams last semester. He said it was because of you. I hope you can continue to look after him. If he can really get into college on his own, I'll thank you again."

"Thank you, Auntie. If he is willing to listen to me, I will definitely help him study hard and get into college." Su Jing's nose was a little sour. "I really don't know how to thank you for helping me like this." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back.

"Okay, you guys eat. I won't stay with you. I'm a little tired after catching the early flight. I'm going to rest for a while." Mother Jiang patted her son's hand, smiled and nodded at Su Jing, then turned and went upstairs.

As soon as his mother turned around, Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows at Su Jing, smiled mischievously and said, "Okay, are you relieved now? Live in peace, just make breakfast for me every day."
