Rebirth Begins with Rejecting my Childhood Friend - Chapter 530

But in the next second, she let out a soft cry.

Her voice was a little loud.

Luckily, she quickly covered her mouth.

An Shishi lowered her head and took a glance.

A pair of large hands, not belonging to her, had appeared on her lap.

She turned to look at Xu Xiuwen and asked, “What are you doing?”

Xu Xiuwen kept his eyes fixed on the screen. “Watching the movie.”

“How am I supposed to watch like this?”

“You can.”

Seeing Xu Xiuwen say this so nonchalantly, An Shishi was a little helpless.

But she didn’t say anything more and continued watching the movie.

However, as she kept watching—

She realized something was wrong.

Xu Xiuwen’s hands were getting restless.

An Shishi’s face flushed with a rosy hue.

Her gaze wavered, her eyes turning misty.

She bit her lip, afraid to make a sound and disturb the others in the theater.

…

Xu Xiuwen finally withdrew his hand.

But by now, An Shishi could no longer concentrate on the movie.

She bit her lip and looked at Xu Xiuwen’s side profile, her voice soft and sweet like a kitten’s mewl.

“Honey~~”

Her voice was sweeter and more intoxicating than ever.

Xu Xiuwen turned his head to look at her, deliberately asking, “What is it?”

An Shishi bit her lip without speaking, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen chuckled faintly.

He reached out, gently pinching her chin and tilting it upward.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her.

“Mm~~”

A few sweet and satisfied murmurs slipped from her throat.

The kiss lasted a long time.

It was Xu Xiuwen who finally ended it.

He smiled and said, “Let’s go home.”

An Shishi didn’t say anything, only nodded.

Then, with slightly weak legs, she let Xu Xiuwen support her as they walked out of the theater.

Back at Jiangning Huayuan.

The moment the door closed—

The two of them embraced and started kissing passionately.

From the living room to the bedroom.

Clothes were peeled off piece by piece…

The first time ended rather quickly.

An Shishi lay in Xu Xiuwen’s arms.

People say men are lustful.

But women aren’t necessarily any less so.

An Shishi looked at the chiseled, sculpted body before her, every muscle perfectly defined.

Unconsciously, she swallowed.

Xu Xiuwen caught that little action.

And so, round two began.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon the next day.

The warm midday sunlight of summer filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a glow into the dim room.

Xu Xiuwen slowly opened his eyes.

Memories of the previous night immediately surfaced in his mind.

He turned his head and glanced to the side.

An Shishi was sleeping soundly beside him, a satisfied smile on her lips.

After two months apart—

An Shishi was even more passionate than before.

Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to bring out his full strength.

So it wasn’t until the early hours of dawn—

That he finally let her rest.

As the saying goes, there are only exhausted oxen, never ruined fields.

But this saying didn’t apply to Xu Xiuwen.

In the end, Xu Xiuwen had successfully tamed this wild and alluring little kitten.

Xu Xiuwen got up, put on his clothes, and freshened up.

When he stepped out of the bathroom—

Seeing that An Shishi was still asleep, Xu Xiuwen didn’t wake her. Instead, he headed to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Halfway through cooking, a soft, delicate body suddenly hugged him from behind.

He turned his head and locked eyes with An Shishi.

An Shishi clung to his waist, pouting. “Hubby, why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t want to disturb you. Did you sleep well?”

An Shishi let out a soft, slightly hoarse “mm.”

Xu Xiuwen turned around, gazed at her, then lowered his head to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. He smiled and said, “Go freshen up. Lunch is almost ready.”

But An Shishi didn’t let go.

“Shishi?”

“Let me hold you a little longer. Soon, you won’t belong to me anymore.”

Xu Xiuwen didn’t refute her.

Because she was right.

Today was August 31st.

Cheng Lu would be taking the afternoon train back to school.

And tonight, Xu Xiuwen had to drive back to Langya.

As long as either Cheng Lu or Xiao Youran was in Jinling—

He would no longer belong to An Shishi.

Hearing her words, Xu Xiuwen said nothing and simply let her hold him.

About five minutes later, An Shishi suddenly let go and smiled.

Xu Xiuwen returned her smile before continuing to cook.

Before long, lunch was ready.

An Shishi had also freshened up and changed into a new outfit before stepping into the living room.

At that moment, she looked stunning—radiant in a way that was hard to describe.

Like a flower blooming after a fresh rain, vibrant and alluring.

Xu Xiuwen couldn’t help but praise her. “Shishi, you look absolutely beautiful today.”

An Shishi responded with a charming smile.

After lunch, they got busy.

They cleaned the apartment, did the laundry, changed the bedsheets, and aired out the place—

Making sure that when Cheng Lu returned, there wouldn’t be a single trace left behind.

Time quickly passed, and soon it was 3 PM.

Xu Xiuwen drove to the train station to pick up Cheng Lu.

Her train was scheduled to arrive at Jinling South Station at 3:30 PM.

Xu Xiuwen waited at the station’s exit.

But Cheng Lu never appeared.

Not until 3:40—

When a girl, dressed in a flowing long dress with an air of elegance, suddenly emerged from the crowd.

Xu Xiuwen recognized her instantly.

At the same time, Cheng Lu spotted him.

Her eyes lit up with joy.

Pulling her suitcase behind her, she quickly made her way toward him.

When she was less than ten meters away—

She suddenly let go of her suitcase and ran straight toward him.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuwen opened his arms.

The next second—

Cheng Lu threw herself into his embrace, pressing her head tightly against his chest.

Xu Xiuwen held her close, his heart pounding with excitement.

No one could understand how much Cheng Lu meant to him.

Yes, he was a scoundrel.

But Cheng Lu was his white moonlight—the girl who had haunted his dreams in his past life.

Cheng Lu finally calmed down a little.

She stepped back slightly, tilted her head up to look at him, and said, “Pig, did you miss me?”

There weren’t many people in this world who called him “Pig.”

Cheng Lu was probably the only one.

If it were anyone else—

Xu Xiuwen wouldn’t have been so indulgent.

But because it was Cheng Lu.

Instead of getting angry, Xu Xiuwen grinned happily.

He nodded vigorously. “I think about you every day—when I eat, when I go to the bathroom, when I sleep.”

Cheng Lu rolled her eyes at him, feigning disgust. “So cheesy.”

Then, in a much softer voice, she murmured, “I missed you too… so much.”

“What did you say?”

“Never mind if you didn’t hear it.” Cheng Lu huffed, acting proud.

“Your voice was too soft. Say it again?”

“I’m not saying it.”

“Then let me guess—did you just say you missed me too?”

“Stop being so full of yourself. Why would I miss you?”

“I’m your boyfriend! If only I miss you and you don’t miss me, don’t you think that’s a bit unfair?”

Cheng Lu pouted. “If you missed me so much, why didn’t you come to Hangzhou to see me?”

Xu Xiuwen pretended to have a sudden realization. “Ah, so that’s why you’re upset! Got it. Next holiday, I’ll come visit you in Hangzhou.”

Hearing that, Cheng Lu smiled, but then rolled her eyes again. “Hmph, that’s more like it.”

With that, they exchanged a glance and laughed together.

Xu Xiuwen’s smile was one of deep contentment.

Cheng Lu’s, on the other hand, carried a touch of admiration.

She took half a step back, pausing in place.

She carefully examined Xu Xiuwen, her gaze scanning him from head to toe.

Finally, she nodded in satisfaction. “My little pig seems to have gotten even more handsome.”

“Huh? You too? Have I really gotten more handsome lately?” Xu Xiuwen asked in confusion.

Cheng Lu’s expression instantly turned cold, her tone sharp. “Too? Who else has been calling you handsome? You better spill the truth right now!”

“Lulu, are you jealous?”

“Who would be jealous over a dumb pig like you?”

“Alright then, I won’t say.”

“No! You have to say it. If you don’t, you’re dead meat!”

Cheng Lu’s face turned deadly serious.

Xu Xiuwen couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.

“It was Shishi who said it.”

At the mention of “Shishi,” Cheng Lu relaxed a little.

“So you’ve already seen Shishi?”

Xu Xiuwen nodded. “Yeah, she’s back. She’s at our place right now.”

Cheng Lu nodded but then suddenly caught on, rolling her eyes again. “What do you mean our place? Stop saying nonsense. We’re not a family.”

Xu Xiuwen chuckled. “Not yet, but we will be. Unless… you’re planning to marry someone else?”

Cheng Lu scoffed, “I won’t marry anyone else, but if you don’t behave, I’m not marrying you either.”

“More tests, huh?”

“If you don’t want to, forget it. No one’s forcing you.”

“I do! I do! Being able to marry an ice queen beauty like you is my greatest blessing. How could I not want to?”

“Such a smooth talker.”

“I don’t know if my mouth is smooth, but I do know that yours is sweet.”

As he spoke, Xu Xiuwen suddenly leaned down and kissed Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu’s eyes widened.

She glanced around, then shot him a glare—

As if to say, There are so many people here!

Xu Xiuwen shrugged. “So what? You’re my future wife. I’m kissing my own wife—who cares?”

Hearing his words, Cheng Lu gently bit her lip and smiled.

Then, to his surprise, she suddenly leaned in and planted a soft kiss on the corner of his lips.

“Happy now?”

“Happy. Seeing you makes me happier than anything else.”

This time, Cheng Lu didn’t just smile faintly—

She burst into joyful laughter.

The setting sun cast a warm glow from the side, illuminating her smiling face, making her look even more radiant.

Every inch of her was breathtakingly beautiful.

Xu Xiuwen found himself completely mesmerized.

Softly, he murmured, “So beautiful…”

Every girl puts extra effort into her appearance when reuniting with her boyfriend after a break.

Even though Cheng Lu was often nicknamed the “Ice Queen,” she still had the same little thoughts as any other girl.

She had woken up early that morning, carefully preparing for this moment.

Choosing an outfit had taken her a long time.

In the end, she settled on a French-style floral dress with a square neckline. The skirt had a slit, striking the perfect balance between elegance and a touch of subtle allure.

Paired with a pair of black canvas shoes, she radiated a soft, artistic charm.

Seeing the mesmerized look in Xu Xiuwen’s eyes, Cheng Lu felt that all her effort had been worth it.

She smiled faintly and teased, “Let’s go, you pervy pig. Any longer, and you’ll start drooling.”

Hearing that, Xu Xiuwen instinctively touched the corner of his mouth.

Nothing.

He realized he’d been tricked.

Letting out a sheepish chuckle, he quickly walked behind Cheng Lu, picked up the suitcase she had left behind, and returned to her side.

Then, without a word, he casually placed his free hand on his waist.

Cheng Lu saw the gesture, smiled lightly, and naturally slipped her arm through his.

Side by side, they walked toward the parking lot.

Xu Xiuwen didn’t take Cheng Lu straight to her dorm.

Instead, he drove her to Jiangning Huayuan.

They went upstairs together.

Upon entering, Cheng Lu didn’t see An Shishi anywhere.

She frowned slightly. “Where’s Shishi?”

“She probably didn’t want to disturb our alone time, so she went back to campus.”

Cheng Lu rolled her eyes at him but didn’t say anything.

Instead, she took light, quick steps toward the balcony.

A jasmine plant sat there—one she had planted herself.

Jasmine usually blooms between May and August, sometimes even longer.

Right now, the plant was in full bloom.

Among its sturdy branches and dense green leaves, clusters of small white flowers had blossomed, exuding a fresh, delicate beauty.

Seeing it, Cheng Lu turned back to Xu Xiuwen. “You’ve taken good care of it.”

Before leaving for break, she had specifically reminded him to take care of the plant.

In reality, Xu Xiuwen had barely paid it any attention—only watering it occasionally when he remembered.

The plant had mostly survived on its own resilience.

But at this moment, without hesitation, he said, “Of course. You told me to, so I made sure to do it.”

Cheng Lu seemed satisfied. “Not bad. You did well.”

Xu Xiuwen grinned. “Do I get a reward?”

Cheng Lu instantly saw through his intentions and shot him a playful glare. “You wish.”

Despite her “Ice Queen” reputation, her glare right now was anything but cold.

It was alluring.

Xu Xiuwen felt something stir inside him.

Without another word, he stepped forward and pulled Cheng Lu into his arms.

Then, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Cheng Lu resisted at first, trying to push him away.

But Xu Xiuwen held her tightly, making escape impossible.

Slowly, her resistance faded.

Instead, her arms slid around his neck—

And she began to kiss him back.

They say “absence makes the heart grow fonder.”

Though they weren’t married, being apart for two months had built up an overwhelming longing for each other.

From standing in the living room—

To the couch—

To the master bedroom…

The first time ended quickly.

Xu Xiuwen, catching his breath, thought he could take a break.

But then, Cheng Lu whispered—

“Let’s go again.”

Xu Xiuwen couldn’t refuse.

Because whenever he was with Cheng Lu in the past, once was never enough.

It had been two months since they had been together, and if today ended with just one round, not only would Cheng Lu be disappointed, but Xu Xiuwen would have his own doubts.

To avoid arousing any suspicion from Cheng Lu, Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to muster the energy to continue.

Fortunately, his stamina was far beyond that of an average person.

It wasn’t until after nightfall that they finally stopped.

Xu Xiuwen held Cheng Lu tightly, her head resting on his chest, listening to the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Both of their faces bore the satisfaction of the moment.

As for Xu Xiuwen, alongside satisfaction, there was also a hint of fatigue.

Later, they lay on the bed, chatting for a while, sharing stories about what had been happening in their lives.

They’d said all of this on the phone before, but saying it in person had a completely different feeling.

Before they knew it, it was past 7 o’clock.

Xu Xiuwen patted Cheng Lu’s butt gently and said, “Get dressed, I’ll take you back to your dorm, then I need to head back to Langya.”

Cheng Lu asked softly, “Are you in a hurry to see Xiao Youran?”

Xu Xiuwen looked down at Cheng Lu.

She wasn’t angry, but her expression held a hint of jealousy.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He explained, “No, I need to go back to my hometown tomorrow morning to pick up my cousin.”

“Cousin, Sister Xiaoyu, you sure have a lot of sisters.”

“Though I have many sisters, you know, the only person I like is you.”

Cheng Lu rolled her eyes at him and said, “I don’t mind the girls around you, but if you ever betray me, we’re done.”
