Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

After Zhou Xinyue asked, Jingrou finally came to her senses and said, "No, no, Yue'er, I just didn't expect myself to be so beautiful. I was surprised. I couldn't believe that the reflection inside was actually me."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "My silly sister, of course it's you. Who else could it be but you? My sister is actually a very beautiful girl."

Jingrou sighed and choked up as she said, "Yue'er, thank you for letting me see another side of myself. It turns out I can be so beautiful."

Zhou Xinyue continued to smile and said, "Sister, you are beautiful."

Zhou Xinyue hugged Jingrou and acted coquettishly, refusing to let go.

"No, actually I'm not beautiful at all. I know what I look like, but after you dressed me up like this, I almost forgot what I look like! Yue'er, thank you so much."

Zhou Xinyue said happily and tenderly: "Sister, you are already very beautiful, but you are just a piece of unpolished jade. I am just the craftsman who gently polished your unpolished jade. Do you understand?"

"You are the only one who knows how to speak. Any word can sound good when it comes out of your mouth."

Sisters Zhou Xinyue and Jingrou were chatting happily in the yard, and before they knew it, it was evening.

In the evening, He Shi was feeling uneasy at the gate of the courtyard. He took a few deep breaths, holding a bouquet of various small flowers in his hand, and slowly came to the door of Jingrou's room.

He was shaking with nervousness, and said in a trembling voice: "Rou'er, are you there? I'm He Shi, I'm here to pick you up for a walk."

Yue'er stood in a corner of the yard, covering her mouth to hold back her laughter. He Shi's honest and simple appearance really made people laugh.

A voice came from the room: "Brother He, I'm here."

The door slowly opened. As the door opened, He Shi slowly raised his eyes and looked towards the door of the room. Jingrou, who opened the door, shyly called out again, "Brother He."

He Shi was holding the flowers in his hands, and was stunned for a moment. He stared for a long time without uttering a word, and his face turned red all the way to his neck.

Jingrou turned her head away embarrassedly, not daring to look at He Shi.

Jingrou said shyly: "Brother He, don't look at me like that, am I really ugly?"

He Shi was surprised and said, "How could that be? Rou'er, I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you. You are so beautiful, you are so pretty, like the white clouds in the sky, like the moon, like the sun, like the stars, anyway, you are so beautiful."

Jingrou said shyly: "Please stop talking, I can't stand it anymore."

He Shi smiled naively, scratched his head, and said, "I am a rough man. I really want to use the most beautiful poems to praise my beloved girl like other men, but I am not good at speaking. But my heart is the most sincere. I just want to tell you, Rou'er, you are so beautiful today. I think you are so beautiful."

Jingrou covered her face and said shyly, "I know, Brother He."

He Shi also said happily: "Here, the most beautiful flowers are for the most beautiful you."

Jingrou happily took the flowers, put them in the vase, ran out of the room, and said shyly, "I like flowers. I like everything you give me."

He Shi smiled foolishly and said, "Let's go. Cangdu is very lively tonight. Let's go! I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Jingrou said shyly, "Okay."

The two of them went out together foolishly.

Zhou Xinyue watched with a smile at first, but tears welled up in her eyes when she saw Jingrou's happy look.

Zhou Xinyue felt as if she was marrying off her daughter, and the feeling of being so happy that she cried made people cry.

Zhou Xinyue sat in the corner and sighed to herself: "Sister, as long as you are happy, Yue'er blesses you."

When Zhou Xinyue came to this place, only Jingrou and Sandan stayed with her. Zhou Xinyue had already regarded them as her own sister and brother.

After watching Jingrou and He Shi happily discharged from the hospital, Zhou Xinyue kept staring at the gate of the courtyard, feeling both expectant and nervous, both looking forward to and afraid of disappointment.

At this time, the dusk in the sky was gradually coming to an end. Zhou Xinyue was in the small courtyard looking at the square sky, the colorful clouds in the distance, and the birds flapping their wings and flying freely.

Zhou Xinyue leaned on the corridor, looking at the clouds and the sky, and gradually fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but suddenly someone seemed to be touching her face.

At first, Zhou Xinyue felt that the hand was warm and gentle. With her eyes closed, she even felt a little nostalgic for this hand that gave her a sense of security. The hand that touched her face was so gentle.

Zhou Xinyue subconsciously reached out her hand and grabbed the hand in her dream, muttering, "Don't leave, stay with me, Ayi."

The hand suddenly stopped, and Zhou Xinyue seemed to realize something and suddenly opened her eyes.

That familiar handsome face came into view, with a smile and surprise in his eyes, holding Zhou Xinyue's face.

Zhou Xinyue said in surprise: "Ayi, you..."

Jin Youyuan looked at her with a half-smile and said gently, "You called me just now, right?"

Zhou Xinyue's eyes drifted away, then she looked up at Jin Youyuan and said, "I don't know what happened to me? I called out your name!"

Jin Youyuan stared at Zhou Xinyue with his half-smiley eyes and asked inquiringly, "Do you miss me?"

Zhou Xinyue immediately retorted, "How could that be? It's just a dream, and you believe it?"

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue turned her face away. Unexpectedly, Jin Youyuan turned around and stood in front of Zhou Xinyue, smiling and said, "I'm telling you now, I believe it."

After saying that, Jin Youyuan stretched out his hand and said gently: "Yue'er, let's go out for a walk tonight!"

Zhou Xinyue looked at Jin Youyuan's outstretched hands and couldn't help but stretch out her own hand.

Jin Youyuan happily held Zhou Xinyue's hand. Jin Youyuan's hand was so big and warm.

Zhou Xinyue's heart was beating like a deer, pounding and pounding. Zhou Xinyue was led out by Jin Youyuan.

As soon as she left Qianlong Mansion, Zhou Xinyue's heart was suddenly excited by the bustling scene on the street outside.

Because she hadn't been out for a long time, there were shops on both sides of the street, and the shouts of the vendors were getting louder and louder.

The streets were crowded with people, and Zhou Xinyue was very happy. She hadn't gone out shopping or eating for a long time since she came here.

Zhou Xinyue saw someone selling cute cakes over there. When she asked, she found out it was called white snow cake. The vendor shouted, "Girl, do you want some? This is a freshly baked cake. It's delicious. It's even better than the cloud cake."

Zhou Xinyue seemed to have returned to the modern era and become that foodie again. She said happily, "Okay, have one."

The boss bared his teeth and said, "Okay, a piece of Baiyun Cake."

Zhou Xinyue took the Baiyun cake with a smile. The white cake was like white snow, no wonder it was called Baixue cake.

Zhou Xinyue happily used the bamboo sticks given by the boss to dig out a small piece and turned to feed it to Jin Youyuan, saying happily: "Come on, Ayi, try it and see if it tastes good."

Jin Youyuan looked at Zhou Xinyue's happy expression and smiled as well, saying, "You eat first. Take a bite, and then I'll eat."

Zhou Xinyue didn't argue with him. She took a small bite and the light sweetness spread in her mouth. Zhou Xinyue said happily, "Mm, it's delicious. Come on, Ayi, try it."

Jin Youyuan smiled, opened his mouth and ate it, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's really delicious."

Zhou Xinyue nodded happily and said, "That's great. Look, what's that over there?"
