The Cultivation of Rebirth

Gu Huaidong took Li Rui to a nearby cold drink stand, pushed Li Rui to an empty table and sat down, then went to the counter to order two glasses of orange ice.Although this is also mixed with canned oranges and water, it is better than those so-called drinks made of colorful saccharin pigments.

Taking care of Li Rui's poor stomach, Gu Huaidong also made people drink half a glass of ice water, and pour the rest of the water at room temperature. This kind of orange ice is cool but not too cold to hurt the stomach.

Gu Huaidong sat down opposite Li Rui with an iced orange, and pushed one of the cups to Li Rui.

Li Rui was indeed a little thirsty, so he took a sip immediately.

Gu Huaidong watched Li Rui's dry lips become moist, his throat rolled, he picked up the cold drink and drank half of it in one go.

Li Rui looked at Gu Huaidong in surprise.

Is Gu Huaidong so thirsty?

After Gu Huaidong finished his cold drink, he put the small box he just brought from the car in front of Li Rui: "I brought you a present, open it quickly and see if you like it."

Li Rui looked at the exquisite box and was a little hesitant to put it down.

Gu Huaidong seemed to guess what Li Rui was thinking, and said to Li Rui with a smile: "Don't look at the beautiful box, it was recommended to me by the owner of the stationery store. If you want to give someone a gift, wrap it in a more beautiful box. It looks so shabby."

When Li Rui heard that Gu Huaidong said it was stationery, he felt a little more relaxed and a little curious again.

What stationery can fit in such a small box?

Gu Huaidong urged over there: "Quick dismantling, quick dismantling, I will dismantle it for you if you don't! Don't cry later."

Li Rui was made to laugh out loud by Gu Huaidong's playful appearance, and reached out to open the small box.

Inside the box is a watch, simple black and white.

Black strap shell, white dial, black hands, and a line of black English letters "CASIO" below 12 o'clock on the dial, there is no extra decoration.It doesn't look very expensive either.

Li Rui felt a little more relaxed.

Of course, Gu Huaidong would not tell Li Rui that this unattractive watch was much more valuable than those colorful watches in ordinary stationery stores.

Gu Huaidong said to Li Rui: "Put this on your wrist during the exam, so you don't know the time and have no idea."

Li Rui nodded.

Gu Huaidong approached Li Rui and asked, "Li Rui, you haven't told me whether you like this gift or not?"

Li Rui blinked vigorously twice, and smiled at Gu Huaidong until his brows and eyes curled up, showing a bit of boyishness: "I like it."

"As long as you like it." Gu Huaidong said.

He seemed happier as the giver than as the receiver.

Gu Huaidong asked Li Rui to try wearing the watch, and said that if Li Rui couldn't wear it by himself, he could help Li Rui wear it.

Under Gu Huaidong's disappointed gaze, Li Rui skillfully put on the watch with one hand.

"I used to have a watch too, it was given by my dad." Li Rui whispered.

Gu Huaidong thought it was no wonder he was so proficient, and asked Li Rui: "Then why have you never seen you wear it before?"

"It was broken later." Li Rui answered Gu Huaidong after a while, but his voice was much lower.
