Confession of Rebirth

Because Ling Yiyi came to make trouble, Gu Chen wasted the whole morning, but fortunately he sold a flat in the afternoon, and this day was not in vain.

When I went back to school at night, I ran into Zhou Xiaoting who had been waiting downstairs in the dormitory for an unknown amount of time.

Under the dim streetlights, Zhou Xiaoting's face was pale and her lips were blue from the cold, and she looked at him with guilt again: "Sorry, I didn't expect to find you one by one. I'm just in a bad mood, so I chatted with her on WeChat A few words. Maybe I didn't make it clear, which made her misunderstand the relationship between the two of us. I have explained it clearly to her. She won't bother you again. "

Gu Chen actually didn't take this matter to heart, he looked at Zhou Xiaoting who was standing under the street lamp, shivering from the cold and his fingertips were red, and asked, "Aren't you cold?"

Zhou Xiaoting shook her head.

Putting his hands in his pockets, Gu Chen said lightly, "It's not something important, just give me a call next time, or send me a WeChat message."

How could Zhou Xiaoting not know, with Gu Chen's personality, this kind of oolong can be explained clearly by just calling.Gu Chen wouldn't care either.But Zhou Xiaoting still wanted to meet Gu Chen with her own eyes and explain in person.

"Have you eaten tonight?" Zhou Xiaoting rubbed her frozen fingers, breathed softly, and said, "Can you treat me to a bowl of Malatang?"

After thinking about it, Gu Chen still agreed.

The two of them walked into the cafeteria without saying a word.Zhou Xiaoting stood at the window and ordered some of her favorite ingredients, and when the dishes were cooked, she let Gu Chen help her bring Malatang to the table.

Zhou Xiaoting sat down, took two bites of green vegetables with chopsticks, took a deep breath and said, "This is the first time I have asked a boy to invite me to eat."

Gu Chen thought for a while and said, "My honor."

What Zhou Xiaoting ordered was super spicy and super spicy. During the process of eating, she was so hot that she burst into tears and kept blowing her nose with paper.She didn't care about the image of a lady she had worked so hard to maintain in front of Gu Chen.

Just finished a bowl of Mala Tang silently.Zhou Xiaoting didn't say a word.

However, she had a lot to say.I want to say that she is actually very easy to raise, not picky eaters, and eats whatever is given to her.She can make money by herself, and she doesn't need a boy to spend money for her.Enough independent, do not require boyfriend must have a house and a car.As long as it is someone she likes, she can fight with him.It doesn't matter if you suffer a lot.

But until the end, Zhou Xiaoting didn't say a word.

"I'm done." Zhou Xiaoting tried her best to finish the last bite of noodles, and smiled at Gu Chen: "Thank you for inviting me to eat Malatang. We're done."

"In the future, don't think that I will introduce you to a part-time job and say a few good words for you, as if you owe me a lot of favors. If you encounter the kind of unreasonable trouble again, or the kind of my parents and elder brother who make you feel If it’s uncomfortable, don’t worry too much, just speak out.”

"I rushed to trouble you without finding out the truth of the matter. You obviously helped the Dazhou Group solve such a big reputation crisis, but you didn't even hear thank you. It was my friend who made the mistake first, and we The Zhou family's etiquette is not good enough. You don't need to wrong yourself because of the mistakes of my family and my friends. "

The corners of Zhou Xiaoting's eyes were red, she sniffed her nose, tried to smile, and said, "If you are unhappy, just say it. You can even get angry at me. Don't silently wrong yourself like this. I'm afraid that after a long time, we can't even be ordinary friends." .”

"Gu Chen, it was you who said that we could be good friends. Don't break your promise!" Zhou Xiaoting's voice trembled slightly, but she tried to put on her usual carefree attitude: "A good friend is one who can express oneself to the other party unscrupulously." Dissatisfaction. Say what you have. You can share your happiness, and you can bear your unhappiness. You can also vent to each other if you are really uncomfortable. You don’t need to weigh every sentence before saying it, and make a draft. Even if you accidentally say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing matter, and I don’t care whether the other party will be angry at all.”

Zhou Xiaoting looked at Gu Chen, and said affirmatively, "This kind of person is a good friend!"

"Gu Chen, you have been in University A for so long, and you haven't made any real good friends yet?"

"Then let me be your first good friend."

Gu Chen looked at the radiant Zhou Xiaoting, but what flashed in his mind was all the things he had experienced in his previous life.After a long time, Gu Chen laughed at himself: "Sister Zhou, I'm actually not as good as you think. Maybe after getting along for a while, you will find that it's not worth it for you to accommodate me so much."

He is not the kind of person who is so good that people can actively make friends with him.

"Among friends, how can you say it's accommodating." Zhou Xiaoting smiled confidently: "Besides, I have such a good eye. I won't misjudge people."

"You don't want to belittle yourself."

Gu Chen curled his fingers and held the chopsticks.

Zhou Xiaoting looked at Gu Chen's expression, and said, "Gu Chen, you know that I like you very much. Even if I can't be a boyfriend and girlfriend, I still hope that you can be happier. Don't live so tired. Just give it a try, okay? Try to be like your peers, and do whatever you want like other people do. Speak out when you are unhappy, and scold others if you want to. You are not yet 20 years old, don’t always think about it, and don’t always think about compromise. Life is a hundred years It's only been less than one-fifth of the time, if you're wronging yourself now, how long do you want to feel wronged?"

The words inadvertently touched Gu Chen's mind.He stared at Zhou Xiaoting in a daze.

Zhou Xiaoting continued: "Perhaps as you said, after others get acquainted with you, they will see your shortcomings, but this does not mean that you are not worth making friends with. No one is a saint. Who dares to say that he has no What about the shortcomings? Why are you the only one who deserves to be wronged? Why are you the only one who is always slandered and scolded by others, and whether you fight back or not?"

Gu Chen was thoughtful.

Zhou Xiaoting took a sip of mineral water and continued to talk: "Besides, even if some people really feel that you are not good and not worth making friends after getting along with them. So what? You just ignore them! Global President The population has exceeded 70 billion. Our country alone accounts for one-fifth. With such a large population base, how could there not be two blind people.”

"You have to allow someone to dislike you, but there is no need to wrong yourself because of this kind of person. Because people who don't like you, no matter what you are, they will not like you. But the same, people who like you, no matter what you are, They also think you are worthy of liking."

Talking too much in one breath, Zhou Xiaoting paused slightly and took a breath, her dark eyes sparkling.She just looked at Gu Chen like this, and made a final decision: "I am the latter kind of person. No matter what you are, I think you are worthy of liking and worthy of being a good friend."

"So, don't you have to cherish someone like me who has a particularly good vision and offers to be good friends with you." Zhou Xiaoting stretched out her hand to Gu Chen, and said with a bright smile: "I won't be able to push me away." , but let those who hate you surround you like flies?"

Although Zhou Xiaoting didn't know what happened to Gu Chen, it made Gu Chen so silent and self-closing, and it could even be said that he accepted all the injustices that happened around him on his own.Let others slander, slander and spread rumors and never explain.But she knew that this state was wrong.

Zhou Xiaoting felt sorry for Gu Chen, and felt that Gu Chen's state of mind was a little sick. She wanted to help Gu Chen, but if Gu Chen remained in this state, there was nothing she could do.

"Gu Chen, you have to learn to walk out by yourself."

Gu Chen looked at Zhou Xiaoting's outstretched hand.There was a long silence.What comes to mind is that whether it is in the previous life or after rebirth, whether it is due to subjective reasons or objective reasons, he seems to have really let himself stay among those who hate him.No matter how bad the surrounding environment is, I never thought of improving it.

Gu Chen always thought that he was used to this broken world.Can face all malice skillfully and calmly.But Gu Chen miscalculated his endurance.

Once exposed to fresh air and sunshine, no one would like to stay in a cold and dark corner all day long.Having tasted the sweetness of goodwill, no one can continue to endure endless malice.

As Zhou Xiaoting said, since he is destined to be hated by everyone, no matter what he does, he can't change this fate.Why bother to wrong yourself from beginning to end.

Even if these people who released good intentions would end up hating him like they did in their previous life.But before hating him, Gu Chen can at least experience a normal life without being hated.

There seemed to be a soft "click" in the ear.After being reborn, the knot in Gu Chen's heart that had been bound and entangled for a long time was loosened.Gu Chen stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Xiaoting's hand, and said with a smile, "Zhou Xiaoting, thank you."

This seemed to be the first time Gu Chen called her name, Zhou Xiaoting smiled happily, shook Gu Chen's hand, stared into the other's eyes and said, "You're welcome."

Encouraged by Zhou Xiaoting, on the way back to the dormitory, Gu Chen called Gao Haiyang: "Senior Gao, you told me before that you can help me change the dormitory..."

It’s a rare weekend to relax. Gao Haiyang, who was playing games in the dormitory, his eyes lit up, and he answered immediately: "No problem! You finally figured it out. Do you want to change now? I have already greeted our roommates." It’s gone. We’ll go downstairs to help you carry your stuff now.”

This time, it was rare for Gu Chen to refuse politely: "Then I will trouble the senior brothers. After the move is finished, I will invite everyone to have supper."

"All right! Where are you now? Are you going to move at once?"

Gu Chen replied: "I'm on my way back to the dormitory. I'll move when I get back."

"Then I'll go down to find you!" After hanging up the phone, Gao Haiyang immediately called the two roommates in the dormitory to go downstairs to help Gu Chen move.

Gao Haiyang's two roommates were a little surprised: "Didn't you always want to move? How did you figure it out today?"

"Never mind him! It's a good thing if you want to move." Gao Haiyang has long disliked Gu Chen's roommates.Everyone seemed to have pink eye disease, and no one was normal.

Gao Haiyang wondered how Gu Chen could stay in that environment.If it were him, I wouldn't be able to stand it for a day.

Gu Chen put the phone back into his pocket, and the pace of walking back also accelerated a bit.

Since his rebirth, Gu Chen considered that he needed to follow the plot. Although he had wanted to move the dormitory for a long time, he never dared to make a decision.Even though he later found a way to resist the restrictions of the plot, Gu Chen still held the mentality that more things are worse than less things, thinking that anyway, he has been used to those slander and rumors in his previous life.As long as you don't care, there is no need to explain to others.

But what Zhou Xiaoting said made Gu Chen wake up.

No matter what the reason was, he had been aggrieved in his previous life.This life has just been reborn and is less than 20 years old. Even if it is just a story, it will take ten years.

Ten years!If he is still so cowardly and indifferent, why should Gu Chen live this time, why not just die.

But the point is that Gu Chen has already died once, and he finally returned to his student days with both parents, so he didn't want to die.

Since I don't want to die.Then live well!Anyway, it's a life I picked up, so it's not a toss.Why do I have to follow the plot and feel aggrieved again?

"Fuck the plot!" Gu Chen walked on the road and suddenly swears.This is also the first time since he was reborn, he let himself go and cursed.

However, after these words were spoken, Gu Chen suddenly felt a burst of pleasure, as if the suffocation that had been pent up in his chest also spewed out along with the dirty words.The whole person is much lighter.

"It's really stupid!"

"Why should I have trouble with my life because of the entanglement of a group of mentally retarded people?"

Gu Chen complained silently in his heart.Then I realized that since I was reborn, I have been living in a daze, letting the plot entangle me and ignoring me, and I am not very smart.

"Gu Chen is the biggest mentally handicapped." Gu Chen scolded himself brilliantly in his heart, and when he returned to the dormitory, he felt refreshed.

In the dormitory, Gao Haiyang and his two roommates were already working.As if afraid that Gu Chen would regret it when he came back, he first moved Gu Chen's quilt upstairs.

Gu Xiu stopped at the door with a look of astonishment: "What are you doing? Why are you touching my brother's things? Put it down quickly."

Gao Haiyang explained to Gu Xiu impatiently: "How many times have I told you that your brother has moved to our dormitory. I will help you move things. Do you understand moving?"

"I don't believe it." Gu Xiu blocked the door: "My brother won't leave. He won't abandon me."

"Why not?" Gao Haiyang raised his eyebrows: "Are you treating him badly? Why should he put up with such a trash roommate for you?"

Xia Tian and Wang Miao couldn't help asking, "Who are you calling trash?"

"Who should scold whom?" Gao Haiyang squinted at the two walking garbage: "Why, you two are not convinced?"

Gao Haiyang is a senior at any rate, he is also tall and burly, and he is accompanied by two other seniors.Xia Tian and Wang Miao didn't dare to provoke them.He could only give Gao Haiyang a resentful look.

Gu Xiu still refused to let him go: "In short, I don't believe it. How could my brother change the dormitory suddenly. And he still changed to the senior dormitory."

Gao Haiyang was about to get irritable: "I can't tell you, do I—"

"it is true."

A faint sentence came from behind.Gu Xiu turned around in astonishment, and saw Gu Chen standing behind him, and said, "I'm going to change the dormitory."

"Why?" Gu Xiu was shocked, as if he couldn't believe what Gu Chen just said: "Why do you want to change the dormitory?"

If it was in the past, Gu Chen wouldn't even bother to explain.But tonight, whether it was a whim or wanting to let it go, Gu Chen said directly: "I didn't feel happy living here, so I changed it."

Gu Xiu stared at him dumbfounded.

After Gu Chen said the words, he felt relieved.He suddenly discovered that expressing his thoughts was actually not that difficult.

Whether others believe it or not, listen or not, he just needs to say what he wants to say.

Gu Chen nodded to Gao Haiyang and the other two seniors: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What a big deal." Gao Haiyang waved his hand: "If you tell me earlier, we'll move it for you."

Gu Chen said with a smile: "It's not too late now. Thank you for your hard work, I'll treat you to supper after the move is over."

As Gu Chen said, he opened his locker, and took out all the clothes and the data that Professor Xing gave him, and put them into a duffel bag.Gao Haiyang and the two seniors went upstairs with their luggage bags.

Gu Chen started to tidy up the books and car models on the shelf again.Gu Xiu stared blankly at Gu Chen's actions, and suddenly felt panicked that this man was about to walk out of his life.

He opened his mouth a little at a loss and shouted: "Brother——"

Gu Xiu really didn't understand why Gu Chen did this: "We are brothers. If you have any dissatisfaction, can you tell me directly? Why do you have to move out? If you do this, let other students see it, what will you think?" I?"

Do they all feel that he pushed Gu Chen out?

Gu Chen packed the last box of books, looked at Gu Xiu, and asked calmly, "We are brothers, do you regard me as your elder brother?"

Gu Xiu's heart skipped a beat.

I heard Gu Chen continue to say: "I have a lot of dissatisfaction with you. The biggest dissatisfaction is that you never regard me as your brother, nor my parents as your parents. In fact, you have always felt that we treat you badly. Well, you have always wanted to find your biological parents, right?"

Gu Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, and the most obscure secret in his heart was exposed.So shocked that I couldn't speak at all.

Gu Chen said: "You will find them. They will also love you very much, and your family will be very happy. Don't pester me anymore."

Gu Chen left the dormitory holding the cardboard box.When passing by Gu Xiu, I heard Gu Xiu whisper, "It's not like this."

Gu Xiu grabbed Gu Chen's arm.As if afraid that Gu Chen would struggle, he gripped very hard.

"Why do you say that I don't regard you as my elder brother? I don't regard my parents as my parents?" Gu Xiu turned to look at Gu Chen, her eyes were red, as if she had received unbearable accusations and slanders.

"Based on what you've been doing all along." Gu Chen said lightly.

Not only in this life, but also in the previous life.If Gu Xiu really regarded him as his own brother, he would be a little bit grateful for the kindness of the Gu family's upbringing.In other words, if the Ling family had the slightest desire to repay their kindness, he wouldn't be reduced to such a fate.

Blame him for being greedy for wealth and wealth, and to repay favors, and blame him for not being able to see clearly the nature of the Ling family.All kinds of past lives are his own fault.But since I'm lucky enough to be reborn, let's go back to the bridge and go our own way.

Gu Chen left the dormitory holding the cardboard box.In the corridor, Gao Haiyang and the other two seniors came down again fearing that he would not be able to carry too many things.The three of them surrounded Gu Chen to the new dormitory.

Gu Chen had no expression on his face, his heart was beating wildly.I am afraid that my behavior of leaving the plot will be rejected and punished.But until Gu Chen settled down in the new dormitory, even the bookshelves were arranged, his body didn't respond much.

Gu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Let's go for a midnight snack. What do you want to eat?"

"What else can we boys eat for supper? Besides barbecue, it's hot pot." Gao Haiyang turned to the other two roommates, "What do you want to eat?"

"It's such a cold day, let's eat hot pot." One of the roommates paused, and then suggested: "Do you need to call the crown?"

Gao Haiyang explained to Gu Chen: "Wang Guan is the owner of your bed. Not long after school started this semester, I moved out with my girlfriend. But he often comes back to eat and drink."

"You called me just now and said you were going to move the dormitory, so I called Wang Guan. He still has some things in the dormitory and hasn't taken them away. Listen to me calling him, let me help him pack up first , I may come back to pick it up tonight."

Gu Chen understood, and immediately said: "Then let's call. If there are many people, it will be more lively. If it's convenient, you can ask Senior Wang Guan to bring your girlfriend along."

After a pause, he said to Gao Haiyang, "You should also call Senior Sister Jiang."

The other two roommates quit immediately: "Can you still bring your family?"

Gu Chen smiled and nodded: "Of course."

One of them shook his head regretfully: "Unfortunately, neither do I."

Gu Chen said: "It happens that I'm single too."

Gao Haiyang sent a WeChat message to his girlfriend.Hearing the interaction between Gu Chen and the other two roommates, he raised his head and said, "Let me introduce you. Zhao Shu and He Qingchen."

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "You don't need to introduce. Gu Chen, I've heard you famous for a long time."

Gao Haiyang said: "Let's go first! I sent a WeChat message to Wang Guan, asking him to take his girlfriend to the hot pot restaurant directly."

"Then let's go!" Zhao Shu took the key, put on the down jacket, and said to Gu Chen, "I'll go eat hot pot later, and I'll give you a bedroom key along the way."

Gu Chen thanked you.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "Thank you. It shouldn't be. Don't be so polite."

The four arrived at the hot pot restaurant talking and laughing.It didn't take long for the crown to come with his girlfriend.Wang Guan is a native of Shanghai, about 1.7 meters [-] in height, wearing glasses, gentle.His girlfriend's name is Meng Xiaoxiao, and she also looks like a very shy girl who doesn't talk much.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Guan took out two keys from his pocket and handed them to Gu Chen: "A door key and a wardrobe key. The door key was made for you on the way here. This is the wardrobe key."

Gu Chen didn't expect Wang Guan to be so careful.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "It's really good. I also said that I will drop by after dinner to get the key."

Wang Guan smiled: "I'm on the way too."

"Come on, let's have a drink." Gao Haiyang took the cup and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Gu Chen for finally getting out of the sea of ​​suffering and coming to our dormitory."

"Not necessarily!" Zhao Shu joked with a smile: "The author and the acting editor of the publishing house are living together. Can there be any good things? In the future, if you bother to fight, remember to notify us first. Qingchen and I will go out to hide first." , so as not to splash our blood."

One sentence made everyone laugh out loud.Successfully narrowed the distance between everyone.Wang Guan also said with emotion: "Not to mention, I am also using Gu Chen's mind map. It is quite inspiring."

Wang Guan's girlfriend seconded in a low voice: "Me too."

Jiang Weiwei quit, and stood up to defend her husband with a smile: "I won't take you like this. When Gu Chen came out with the map, they scratched their heads anxiously, and sold Haiyang in front of Gu Chen?"

"No way!" Zhao Shu raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and said with emotion: "This society is so realistic."

This time even Jiang Weiwei couldn't help laughing out loud.The atmosphere at the table was particularly warm.

Gu Chen still didn't say much.But for more than an hour from beginning to end, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.When I returned to the dormitory that night, I slept very soundly.

When I woke up the next morning, it was already 06:30!

Forgot to set the alarm!

Gu Chen: "!!!"

"Isn't that great!" Gao Haiyang said with a smile, "This is also a happy housewarming, a major event in life. It makes sense to relax."

Gu Chen smiled and shook his head.After washing up, I went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with a group of people in the dormitory.

Along the way, Gao Haiyang and Zhao Shu didn't stop talking.He Qingchen smiled and said to Gu Chen: "The two of them are like this, it's like talking about cross talk every day."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Very good."

After breakfast, Gu Chen rushed to Professor Xing's office to deliver the new data that had been sorted out before class.

Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen who was in an unusually relaxed state, and asked, "Do you have class in the afternoon?"

Gu Chen nodded: "Yes!"

Professor Xing said confidently: "Please take a leave of absence. Go out with me for a meeting."

Gu Chen: "..."

Qi Yue, who had been by Professor Xing's side all the time, felt his heart skip a beat, and blurted out, "Gu Chen has no experience, why don't I go...I went with the professor before."

"The economic seminar to be held today is related to the transformation of enterprises. It just so happens that Gu Chen has been in charge of data sorting in this area recently." Professor Xing said indifferently: "It's a good time for him to go. He is also familiar with taking notes and sorting out data."
