My childhood sweetheart, who was reborn with me, ended up as a loser.

Chapter 42 Rebirth is really boring

After losing face at Ruan Wen's house, Xu Qingfan slunk away with Xia Xiaoxiao, carrying his schoolbag.

The empty bottles I brought back from school are temporarily stored at Ruan Wen's house. I'll give them to Xiao Yu when I have time in a few days.

"Look at you, so embarrassing. I can't even be bothered to talk to you." Xia Xiaoxiao walked with her arms crossed, shaking her head in disgust.

"Girls shouldn't walk like that, it doesn't look good." Xu Qingfan separated her arms from his and took her right hand.

Xia Xiaoxiao: ......

Even the proud and arrogant Xia Xiaoxiao was easily subdued by Xu Qingfan.

[If you had been like this in your past life, our child would be in elementary school by now, you stupid, idiotic dog!]

The two didn't wander around the streets; they went straight back to their apartment complex hand in hand.

"Xiao Fan, when will your interview air? There's been so much news about you in the newspapers these past few days!"

"Hello Uncle Chen, it will be broadcast tomorrow night at 8:15 PM on CCTV-13's 'Face to Face' program!"

"Okay, little Fan, you're so smart! Uncle will definitely turn on the TV on time tomorrow!"

After dealing with several groups of neighbors who came up to exchange pleasantries, Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao finally reached the stairwell.

"The school is really willing to spend money; the program hasn't even aired yet, and they've been promoting it for so many days already," Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.

"Our school is rich, otherwise I wouldn't have applied to Experimental Primary School in the first place. But I have to say, although the Southern Group is often criticized, they really do get things done when they're paid."

"And I remember they were the first to report on gutter oil and tainted milk powder."

Xia Xiaoxiao shrugged, not wanting to get involved in such a trivial matter. "When are we going to Wan Ning's house tomorrow?"

"What, are you trying to avoid Uncle Xia?"

Xia Xiaoxiao glared at him, feigning ignorance.

Sigh, Xu Qingfan didn't know what to say. Everyone says that men are the most understanding of men, but from a man's perspective, he couldn't understand why Uncle Xia would cheat on him.

Anyway, if he had married such a good wife as Lin Jing and had such a smart and beautiful daughter as Xiao Xiao, he would definitely be content with his life.

[Pah, what a scumbag!]

"Ouch~ Why did you pinch me?"

Judging from your expression just now, I think you weren't thinking anything good.

"Damn it, I was mentally cursing Uncle Xia for being a scumbag, and you still pinched me! I'm going to turn evil!"

"Oh...sorry."

Xia Xiaoxiao shrugged innocently. She simply wanted to pinch Xu Qingfan; there was no other reason.

...

"If I don't drive, where will my family get the money? You've gotten a raise now, can you guarantee that it will continue to rise?"

"Our daughter will be back soon, I don't want to argue with you!"

"I don't want to argue with you. You're all talk and no action!"

Xu Qingfan and Xia Xiaoxiao had just climbed to the eighth floor when they heard arguing coming from inside the apartment.

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoxiao clenched her fists in anger, shook off Xu Qingfan's hand, took out her keys, and was about to open the door and rush in to fight Xia Guofu to the death!

"Calm down, calm down, Xiaoxiao, calm down!" Xu Qingfan quickly hugged Xia Xiaoxiao from behind and said in a low voice, "Godmother doesn't want you to see her like this either."

His words were quite effective; Xia Xiaoxiao struggled a few times in his arms but then stopped moving.

A single, glistening tear slid down her cheek, and Xia Xiaoxiao said in a cold voice, "I hate him."

Xu Qingfan sighed, quietly opened the door to his house, and pulled her to sit in his house for a while.

"Calm down first, I'll get you a glass of water." He pushed Xia Xiaoxiao to sit down on the sofa and helped turn on the air conditioner and fan in the living room.

When Xia Xiaoxiao returned after pouring the water, she still had a cold expression on her face. Fortunately, she didn't take her anger out on him and even said "thank you" when she took the water glass.

To be honest, Xu Qingfan felt that things couldn't go on like this. In her previous life, Xia Xiaoxiao was only afraid of marriage, but if things continued like this, wouldn't she become afraid of men?

However, he clearly forgot that even if Xia Xiaoxiao was "fearful of men," she wouldn't be afraid of him.

After all, Xia Xiaoxiao had promised to let him try before his rebirth, but Xu Qingfan was drunk at the time and couldn't remember anything about it after his rebirth.

"If you want to be honest with your godmother, I support you. In my heart, your feelings will always be the most important," Xu Qingfan comforted her by patting her head.

Xia Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea, placed the teacup on her lap, closed her eyes, and leaned back on the sofa. She hadn't really figured out what to do, but she genuinely didn't want to see Xia Guofu.

In her past life, she was truly deceived too deeply. Upon learning the truth, she wasn't just angry anymore; she was completely heartbroken—heartbroken for Xia Guofu, heartbroken for Lin Jing...

I wasn't completely heartbroken, but I did feel resentful. So I went to Yenching University without saying a word, and after graduation, I stayed there to pursue my master's and doctoral degrees.

During her seven years of undergraduate, master's, and doctoral studies, she only returned home three times during the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, with Xu Qingfan acting as a mediator between the two sides, Lin Jing was not too worried about Xia Xiaoxiao.

However, Xu Qingfan knew that his godmother had already regretted it. Lin Jing was a good mother and a good teacher, but she made the wrong choice when it came to marriage.

Unfortunately, a mistake is a mistake. He lived half his life and said so many things, but in the end, they were all hidden in his full head of white hair.

"I really don't want to see him. Just hearing his voice makes me uncomfortable, and seeing him smile at me fills me with disgust. Do you understand what I mean?"

This is probably what later became known as "physiological aversion" on the internet. It can only be said that Xia Guofu was a failure as a father, being able to make his daughter hate him so much.

Xia Xiaoxiao is not some fairy; she simply cannot accept that the person closest to her is deceiving her like this.

"I understand, I understand, I get it. After all, what your uncle did was indeed immoral. If I had been kept in the dark for eighteen years, I would be even angrier than you!"

What else could Xu Qingfan say? Of course, he just went along with Xia Xiaoxiao's words.

"Do you have any ideas?" Xia Xiaoxiao looked at him expectantly.

What could Xu Qingfan do? He disliked getting involved in other people's family affairs and relationships the most, because in the end, he would please neither side.

However, Xia Xiaoxiao is different. Rather than being childhood sweethearts, it would be more appropriate to say that they are siblings.

If it weren't for Xu Qingfan constantly guiding Xia Xiaoxiao in her past life, she might have become depressed during her university years, and there wouldn't have been any incident that ruined her online romance!

It's a pity I didn't ask for the female book lover's name and home address, otherwise we might have been able to rekindle our romance in this lifetime.

"You already called me Black Tiger, what can I do? How about I call Ruan Wen for you?" Xu Qingfan helplessly spread his hands.

People can actually laugh when they're speechless. Xia Xiaoxiao angrily punched him on the shoulder and said irritably, "What use are you?"

"Weren't you going to call Wan Ning?"

"Oh right, I'd completely forgotten!"

"Just stay at my house for now. If you don't want to see him, just avoid him."

After Xu Qingfan finished speaking, he ran over and picked up the phone. Once the call connected, he immediately switched to a gentle voice: "What's Wan Ning doing?"

Xia Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly and repeated sarcastically, "What is Wan Ning doing~"

Ah, if only she hadn't been reborn, she could have remained a child, and Xu Qingfan could have comforted her like he comforted Wan Ning.

That's pointless!

Rebirth is so boring!
