After rebirth, I gave up Bai Yueguang

Chapter 62 Can You Shut Up?

Jiang Yi sat on the motorcycle for two hours. He overturned and crashed several times today, but he kept putting in coins and refused to get off. Many people waiting in line behind him were cursing him in a hurry.

He hadn't been concentrating today, constantly wondering how he could cover Su Jing's Latin dance tuition without her getting angry. After nine years as classmates, he knew her too well; he'd never met a more determined girl. While other girls longed for help solving every problem, she was the opposite. Not only did she wish she had no one to turn to for help, she also frequently meddled in other people's affairs, often causing trouble for herself.

He looked at the time and saw that she was about to finish class. Jiang Yi was finally ready to get off the motorcycle. He had just straightened up and loosened his grip on the handlebars, which had been burning from his grip, when another hand grabbed him. He was startled.

"Hey, slow down." Jiang Yi said to the boy.

"I've been waiting since you sat on it, but you never got off," the boy said a little aggrievedly, "If you were any slower, someone else would have taken it." The boy pouted and put his other hand on the seat of the motorcycle. It seemed like he wanted to lie down on it and take up some space.

Jiang Yi smiled. He understood the feeling. "Okay, I'll let you go." As he spoke, he planted one of his long legs on the ground, one hand on the bike, and the other leg made a half circle in the air before landing. The boy smiled at him, "Thank you, brother." Just as he was about to step onto the motorcycle, Jiang Yi's legs suddenly gave way and he fell on top of him again. This time, he was the one to get scared.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" the boy asked.

"Ouch," Jiang Yi groaned, "It's nothing, I've been sitting for too long and my thighs are numb. Oh my god..." His legs were so numb that he couldn't help but scream.

"Hahaha!" All the onlookers who hadn't won against the boy laughed. Jiang Yi laughed too, and after a moment's pause, he walked out the door.

It was early summer, and it didn't get dark so early. The already lit streetlights and car lights brought a touch of warmth to the gloomy weather. Jiang Yi stood beneath the streetlight, bathed in a warm yellow glow, his features as deep as a plaster statue in a studio. Every girl and boy who passed him took a second look. Many of the young girls even turned back, their hands covering their mouths with a reluctant smile.

When Su Jing came over, Jiang Yi had already bought her a bottle of iced black tea and handed it to her with a smile. She took it without hesitation and gulped down half the bottle.

"Oh, I'm really dying of thirst." After drinking half a bottle of water, Su Jing sighed with satisfaction. "Mr. Jiang, are you planning to create another traffic jam on this street?" she teased.

"You're so hardworking! You even forgot to drink your water, and you still have the energy to tease me." Jiang Yi looked at her with a doting smile. He had a habit of tilting one corner of his mouth when he smiled, which gave strangers a sinister vibe. It was probably what people now call "badass." Paired with his slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes, it gave off a hint of mischief, but more often than not, it was alluring.

Su Jing was about to say something back when she turned her eyes to see his eyes that would draw her in. Her heart suddenly beat twice, "boom boom." She took a deep breath and turned away.

He couldn't look at it, he couldn't look at it, otherwise he would be dazed again and laugh at himself.

"What?" Her small movement did not escape the eyes that had been staring at her. "Are you afraid of looking at me, afraid of falling in love with me again?" Jiang Yi's smile became more evil.

"Yes," Su Jing did not deny it. "You know I'm a huge fan of you, but you still stand here on purpose. Tell me, what's your purpose?"

"What purpose could I have? I'm just happy that someone is fascinated by me." Jiang Yi was proud.

"If you're happy like this, then you should have been happy to death a long time ago!" Su Jing rolled her eyes at him. "Hasn't there been few people who have liked you since you were a child? Tsk."

"I'm not happy with those people. I'm so annoyed by them," said Jiang Yi.

"I like you, so you're happy? You're just bragging." Su Jing turned her head proudly. "Now, what were you doing? Do you think I'll believe you now?"

Jiang Yi choked. He didn't know why he cared so much about whether Su Jing liked him. He hadn't felt anything for her before and didn't want to get too close. But now, he was happy to catch her peeking at him. Was he in love with her? He didn't know.

The two of them stood by the roadside, chatting and laughing, their eyes darting around as they waited for the taxi to turn green. Su Jing caught sight of a familiar pattern on the wall at the entrance of a dim alley. She turned her head back, took a closer look, and something clicked in her mind.

At this time, the taxi had stopped in front of them at Jiang Yi's wave, and the two got in the car.

After the reform and opening up policy, starting in the 1990s, the country's economy took off for nearly two decades. Large-scale urban construction at that time created a large number of people who became wealthy through demolition.

Su Jing thought about the large "demolition" character she had just seen, her eyes fixed on the streets that flew by outside the car window, both unfamiliar and familiar to her. Before her rebirth, these old streets had long since been transformed into high-end commercial buildings with dozens of stories. And now, they appeared before her eyes, resembling the familiar appearance of her childhood. Even now, she still found it hard to believe.

However, Su Jing secretly used a little force on her chest, and it still hurt when she squeezed it. This showed that she was still alive and in this time and space. Her face suddenly smiled happily.

Jiang Yi, who had been wanting to speak but saw that she was in a daze and didn't say anything, suddenly saw Su Jing smiling so happily and felt that it was very abnormal: "What's wrong? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"No." Su Jing, in contrast to her previous expression of silent thought, smiled at him with shining eyes.

"What are you doing? Do you have any conspiracy?" Jiang Yi thought she was weird.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll tell you when we get home." Su Jing turned her head and continued to look out the window, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she couldn't suppress her smile.

What could make her so happy? Has she decided to pursue me again? Jiang Yi was confused by her silence and giggles. He wanted to ask, but from her expression, it wasn't that she didn't want to tell him, she just didn't want to say it in front of the driver. He could only suppress his curiosity and patiently wait until he got home to ask.

When they entered the house, Mother Jiang was watching TV in the living room. Because of the rumors, she was a little worried that the two children would really do something they shouldn't do at this time. Now, she would go home as early as possible to accompany them and watch TV in the living room so that she could keep an eye on the two children while they were doing their homework.

She doesn't object to the two of them dating now. Her son is becoming more and more well-behaved, doesn't go out to fool around, and his grades are improving. It's perfect for him to date a girl like him.

But after all, they were still young and hadn't even gotten into college. She was worried that if her son accidentally did something out of line, it would be devastating for her future. She had to watch over him until they both got into college. If anything happened then, raising another child wouldn't be a problem.

"Aunt Wu." Su Jing greeted her.

"Mom, you haven't slept yet," Jiang Yi bent down to put his shoes away and asked perfunctorily.

"Aren't I waiting for you? Have you had dinner? I'm waiting to cook for you, so hurry up and do your homework." Jiang's mother said gently.

Su Jing went straight into the house without paying any attention to the mother and son. She came home late on the day of painting class, so she had to start doing her homework quickly.

Jiang Yi watched her enter the house and said to Jiang's mother, "I'll go help her with her homework first. If you don't mind, I can cook her two sweet wine eggs later."

"Okay, go quickly, I'll bring it in for you in an hour, okay?" asked Mother Jiang.

"Okay." Jiang Yi said and followed Su Jing into the house.

"Oh, go back to your own study room, don't squeeze here." There was a table full of notebooks and papers. Su Jing looked at Jiang Yi who insisted on taking up a space with a little disgust.

"No, I'm right here," Jiang Yi ignored her and started tidying up the table himself. Then he started rambling again, "Oh, look at you, what a mess you've made of this table!" His hands kept working as he stacked up the papers he had done by subject, clipped them together, and neatly stacked them aside. He also gathered the draft papers he had written on and piled them into a cardboard box under the table.

Su Jing was very environmentally friendly. She didn't like to use plastic bags when buying things, and she never threw away her waste paper. She would collect it and sell it to the neighborhood cleaners for a little money. Sometimes Jiang Yi thought she was strange. Others would sell their waste paper and books, but no matter how much money they made, they would keep it for themselves. But she was different. She gave it all away to others to sell for money.

"I'm telling you, when you're done writing, just throw the unwanted stuff into that box, and then put it back where I put it after use. Is that difficult?" Jiang Yi said with disdain, but he didn't stop working. In a few minutes, a large space on the table was empty.

"Look, I don't even have a few minutes. How can you make such a mess every day? Can you please cherish my labor?"

Su Jing raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? Don't I come here to collect them every day?" Jiang Yi also glared at him.

Mother Jiang laughed as she listened in the living room. This son was becoming increasingly confusing to her. What kind of a goddess was this girl that he could despise her yet happily clean up every day?

"Can you please shut up?" Su Jing finally got tired of his nagging.

"You've made it like this and you won't let me talk about it?" Jiang Yi said.

"Who told you not to speak? You've been talking for so long, aren't you annoyed? I didn't ask you to come in, nor did I ask you to clean up. If you keep talking, I'll throw you out." Su Jing threatened him.

"Puff!" Mother Jiang laughed out loud in the living room. It was like this every day: one would nag, the other would threaten, and then the two would affectionately do their homework. Sometimes she wondered if she had had another daughter, the scene would probably be like this.

"You're a woman, and you're not as good at keeping the house as I am. If anyone writes you a love letter in the future, I'll tell them and scare them away. You'll never get married."

There was a loud slap on the table, and Jiang Yi's mumbling stopped immediately. Mother Jiang covered her mouth with her hands in laughter. She knew that today's crosstalk time was over and it was time to start doing homework.
