Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

My cell phone rang and I answered it: "Open the door."

I walked to the door, opened it, and saw Yu Che bringing me a lot of things in large and small bags.

"Why didn't you knock and call?"

"The children are asleep and I don't want to wake them up."

"What are you doing with all these things? I'll be back in the second year of junior high school."

"These are New Year's gifts for you and your children. And you must have not eaten yet. These are the dumplings my mother asked me to bring you. I'll cook them for you."

"Thank Auntie for me, but how do you know I haven't eaten?"

"I know you too well. You can only cook for your children. You definitely didn't cook for yourself. You are soft-hearted. You won't order takeout on New Year's Eve when the family is reunited. So you definitely didn't eat. Okay, wait for me on the sofa. I'll be there in a moment." He pushed me to sit on the sofa. Then he went into the kitchen and started cooking dumplings.

After a while, dumplings and some of my favorite dishes were served, as well as drinks.

The two of us sat at the table and started eating. I was really hungry, so I ate voraciously. Yu Che watched quietly.

He would wipe my mouth from time to time.

"You should eat too. I'm eating by myself, as if I were celebrating New Year's Day all by myself. Please eat a little with me!"

"Okay!" He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cold dish and put it in his mouth.

"Why are you in Kyoto?"

"My parents and I came to my biological parents' home to celebrate the New Year."

"Will they be unhappy if they know you're here to accompany me?"

"will not."

"Brother Che, when will you return home?"

"We're also going back on the second day of the Chinese New Year. We're going to grandma's house."

"Well, where are you going to play tomorrow?"

"They're going to a friend's house to play cards. I'll accompany you to take the kids to the zoo to see the monkeys."

I rolled my eyes. People go to the zoo to see animals, such as giant pandas and elephants, but this guy went to the zoo to see monkeys.

The countdown to the Spring Festival Gala began. I stared at the screen and followed the countdown. When the bell rang, Yu Che hugged me and said, "In the new year, I hope we can be together forever."

Xiaoshi's mother sent me a video at this time.

I answered the video call in surprise: "Happy New Year, Auntie."

"Happy New Year! Let me introduce you to my future daughter-in-law, Pu Zhimei, Xiao Shi's girlfriend. I hope you will bless her!"

"Then I wish him happiness."

"Don't hang up yet, I have something to tell you."

"You said."

"Xiao Shi's grandfather wasn't sick at all. He found out after he came back, but he didn't tell you, right? And he didn't go back to accompany you, right!"

"Why are you saying this?"

"I want to tell you so that you can understand your current identity."

"So who are you to control my thoughts and my behavior, aunt? It seems we have no relationship now. And if your son listens to you, then you should keep him safe and don't let him appear in front of me. And if he won't let go, you don't have to make me unhappy on New Year's Day, because you are nothing in my heart."

After saying that, I hung up the phone.

Yu Che, who was standing next to me, saw Xiao Shi's mother treating me like this and knew that Xiao Shi and I had a good relationship. Why did we end up getting divorced? And why did Xiao Shi go crazy when he saw me being with someone else?

"Luo Luo, are you okay?"

"It's alright, my ability to irritate people hasn't deteriorated, has it?"

"No, that person is probably going to be pissed off to death."

I'll call Ning Qianzhi and ask him what's going on. I can't let them bully you like this.

"Go ahead, turn on the loudspeaker. I want to listen too."

The call was connected after a while.

"Ning Qianzhi, what are you doing?"

"I was drinking at Chandu's house. What's wrong?"

"Your dear mother just called Luo Luo. At first, Luo Luo answered the phone with a puzzled look on her face. She also wished her a happy new year. She directly introduced her future daughter-in-law to Luo Luo. Her name is Pu Zhimei. Do you know her?"

"it's not like that."

"So your grandfather was sick, and you found out you were deceived when you returned, and you didn't rush back to be with the three of them, mother and son. Why was that?"

"I……"

"I told you, I don't care that you and Luo Luo are together. I thought my concession would make Luo Luo happy. But in the end, you guys bully her like this. Have you ever seen her being bullied like this? From the time I met her until now, I have never seen her being bullied like this. Do you know how much it hurts me to see her like this? If you can't handle the mess you have over there, don't come to Luo Luo again."

"I'll take care of it."

hang up the phone.

Xiao Shi's side. "Brother Chandu, what should I do?"

"Do you know why I have never dared to contact Luo Luo? Because I was afraid of hurting her. I have been paying attention to her, but I dare not get close to her."

"But if I let go, I think I will lose control and go crazy. Every time I encounter something with Luo Luo, I will go crazy uncontrollably."

"So, your family hurt Luo Luo so much, why don't you go home and go crazy in front of them?"

"I can't do this to my parents."

"So you can bite Luo Luo to death and won't hurt your family at all, right? Then you still say you love Luo Luo."

"If you continue to indulge her like this, one day you will completely lose Luo Luo."

"I understand. I will explain it clearly when I go back tomorrow."

"What's going on with Shangguan Yuche?"

"He is Luo Luo's ex-boyfriend. In order to keep Luo Luo by his side, he made an agreement with me that Luo Luo belongs to him in China and belongs to me abroad, except for taking care of the children."

"So you three?"

"Nothing happened between him and Luo Luo. As long as Luo Luo disagrees, he won't do anything to Luo Luo."

"how about you?"

"I can't control myself. Every time I'm with Luo Luo and smell her unique scent, I want her."

"So, you and Luo Luo."

"Ok!"

"You should take care of your own affairs before going to find Luo Luo! Otherwise you will regret it."

"I see. Brother Chandu, did you and Luoluo really not have the kind of thing I thought?"

"No."

"So, I am very important to her, right?"

"When you did that to him, she took back her hand and didn't want to hit you. Don't you understand? Shangguan and I didn't have anything to do with her, but you were able to stay with her after the divorce. Doesn't that explain everything? You don't think she can't resist!"

"She was able to easily knock down six men who were stronger than you and sent them to the police station. Do you think you forced her?"

"So you won't look for Luo Luo again, right?"

"I control myself from looking for her, but if we meet one day, I think I will not be able to control my heart and all my efforts will be wasted."

"What do you like about Luoluo?"

"I like her because she is different from others. I like her for the reasons that I like her. I like her personality, her hard work, and her intelligence. I can't find any flaws in her."

“She doesn’t sing well.”

"Then what do you like about her?"

"The first time we saw her, I thought this girl was amazing. The second time I saw her, I was pleasantly surprised. She was so pretty, danced so well, and studied so well. When we sat together to study, her fragrance wafted over and I loved it. Every time I smelled her scent, I wanted to hug her, so I hugged her every time we met. She also took good care of me and I loved being with her."

"Later, she started crying. I felt really bad. You sent her home. I thought if I were older, I would be able to stay with her when she was sad."
