I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 124 I just can't open my mouth to let her know, it's just a few simple words I can't do it
Chen Xi turned his head and saw that it was a mountain.

There were so many things going on during this period of time that he completely forgot that Dashan was also at the exhibition helping his father.

"Hello, I forgot you were here."

Chen Xi greeted him apologetically.

"Huh, how's it going? Is everything going well?"

Dashan seemed to be in a good mood, probably because he had received a lot of big orders. He was obviously talking more today.

"You're fine. You look so radiant, so you should be fine. I haven't seen you in the past four days!"

"Well, I've been helping out at the booth and we're about to evacuate as I still have a lot of things to do." Dashan patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm also very busy!" Chen Xi stretched and said a little tiredly.

"Where are you busy? What are you doing? I've been working on a large machine!"

Dashan said this proudly, and the large machine in his words also piqued Chen Xi's interest.

"What is it? Tell me about it. My family is also in the machinery business. Maybe we are in the same line of work!" Chen Xi quickly hooked his neck and asked.

Dashan replied proudly, "We make molds for beverage bottles."

Chen Xi didn't know much about this field. He asked in confusion, "What is this? Beverage bottle mold? Glass bottle?"

"We are a partner of some beverage manufacturers such as Kakou Kale, and we make injection molds, bottle blowing molds, bottle cap molds, hot runner systems, etc...."

"Is it so awesome? Wait, it seems similar to a company owned by my friend." Chen Xi suddenly thought of Sangou's company.

"Huh? Are you in the same industry? What's your name?" Dashan was slightly stunned.

"The one from Yuezhou seems to be called Xing..."

"Oh, I know. We have a partnership and are good brother companies..."

When Dashan heard that it was the company of his father's friend, he became interested again and talked a lot. He was usually taciturn, but now he became so talkative.

"What? Your family makes machine tools?"

Dashan asked in surprise.

Chen Xi briefly introduced his family's business, which includes machines such as robotic arms and 3D printers.

Dashan was even more surprised after hearing this.

Although he didn't know much about these machines, he had heard of several brands of machines owned by Chen Xi's family.

Because his family used to be in the glasses business, and their machines were used in the processing of glasses.

"After doing business together, it turns out that we are all familiar with each other!" Dashan thought about it and then smiled.

"Yes." Chen Xi nodded.

Another classmate’s family was engaged in furniture production, and the machines they used also included those from Chen Xi’s family.

Dashan brought Chen Xi to a booth at a corner. Perhaps because their machines were large, the people at the exhibition center deliberately arranged them in this location.

So Chen Xi wandered around the exhibition hall for several days without encountering Dashan.

"It must be difficult to assemble such a big thing." Chen Xi asked, looking at the machine that was taller than a person.

"No, we came here early to assemble it because it takes many people a long time to install a machine." Dashan said with a smile. He felt a sense of accomplishment this time as he helped his father and participated in it.

However, since he was not good at speaking, no orders were concluded and these were handled by the company's employees.

Cooperating with a big manufacturer like Kakou Kale is undoubtedly very secure.

According to his understanding in his previous life, the company like Sangou's family cooperated with major manufacturers such as Best and Kako Kale, and thus quickly became the industry leader and a very powerful local enterprise.

"Are you planning to return to China and inherit your family business in the future?" Chen Xi asked weakly.

Because he remembered that Dashan later immigrated to the United States and lived a life of idleness, playing games and basketball every day.

"What else can I do? If I don't take over such a big company, who will? I don't even want to study anymore. I want to go back to work as soon as possible, but my family doesn't agree."

Dashan is full of confidence now, and no one knows what happened later. Chen Xi guessed that he broke up with Xiaoyu, which led to a change in his mentality, and later he became a lying salted fish.

Children like them who come from well-off families may not be as strong-willed as ordinary people in facing setbacks in some matters.

Chen Xi is an example of a person who became addicted to gambling because of his parents’ divorce.

"Hey, work hard and don't date too much!" Chen Xi sighed, patted Dashan on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

"Damn, you're in a relationship and you're advising me not to fall in love. You're such a hypocrite." Dashan angrily slapped away the hand that was on his shoulder.

"Okay, go help your father. I also need to go back to the booth to see if there's anything I can help with." Chen Xi said this and turned to leave.

"I've already shown you our machines, why don't you show me yours?"

"Look, Ji Mao, I'll give you two brochures later and you can take your time to read them at home, haha." Chen Xi waved his hand and walked quickly towards the booth.

At this time, Zhao Lingshan must be helping to pack up, and she will complain again when she can’t see me.

7 pm.

"Well, this exhibition has achieved good results..."

At the dinner table, Father Chen picked up a glass of juice and began to speak.

He doesn't smoke, drink or gamble, and is somewhat allergic to alcohol. Therefore, he never drinks at the dinner table. Even if he meets a boss of the same level, the other party will use tea instead of wine to accommodate him.

"Mr. Chen performed very well this time. The booth he was in charge of received a lot of orders."

"Yes, the young master is very dedicated to his work."

All the bosses began to praise Chen Xi's performance at the exhibition.

Chen's father did not make any comments, neither praising Chen Xi nor belittling him.

Instead, he just smiled.

After all, who doesn't like to hear others praise their son? It makes him proud.

"I met the CEO of JMM today. They have received quite a few orders. At the beginning, they were chatting and laughing. Later, I don't know what happened, but their boss suddenly looked very unhappy. I don't know if he had a stomachache. He sat there with a stern face, as if his wife had cheated on him." said the CEO of a branch company.

"Ha, I saw him go into the bathroom, and I think he ran into Mr. Chen." another person added.

These two sentences immediately caught the attention of Chen's father, and he turned slightly to Chen Xi.

"Oh, the boss said that I have outstanding abilities and good looks, and he wants to recruit me to work for him!" After saying that, Chen Xi raised the business card in his hand and waved it in front of everyone.

"Hahaha!"

The people at the dinner table suddenly burst into laughter.

The boss of the other party actually poached the son of his competitor. If this were to get out, the JMM boss would lose all his face. If this matter were to get out in the future, he would probably be laughed to death by his peers.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, you should go back too. We'll see each other again after the next semester. Study hard and don't indulge in pleasure. I've been a study committee member and class leader since I was a child, and I've also been in Kyoto University..."

After dinner, Chen Xi was called into the room for a lecture, which lasted nearly an hour, and his ears were almost blown off.

I originally thought that my father would not say anything to him this time, but after all this time, he finally showed his ultimate move on the last day.

Zhao Lingshan was listening at the side, covering her mouth and giggling.

Chen's father did not shy away from it. After all, Zhao Lingshan had been watching Chen Xi being scolded since he was a child.

After leaving his father's room dizzy, he walked out of the hotel with Zhao Lingshan.

Chen Xi planned to send Zhao Lingshan home, while he himself was going to take a flight back to Mo Village the next morning.

Originally, Zhao Lingshan was thinking of him, but Chen Xi declined her offer to see him off to the airport tomorrow.

I've been working hard for four days, how can I let others get up early in the morning to see me off to the airport?

At night in Xicun, the sky is like a huge piece of black velvet, and the stars are like carefully sewn bright embellishments on it.

The hustle and bustle of the day gradually faded away, replaced by a quiet beauty.

The sea breeze blew gently, bringing the sound of waves hitting the shore, adding a unique charm to the night. The Harbour Bridge was like a huge steel behemoth, winding and twisting in the night, majestic and imposing.

The traffic on the bridge is like a flowing ribbon, and the constantly flashing lights seem to depict a unique pulse for the city.

"Hahaha, it feels so good to see you being so frustrated!"

Along the way, Zhao Lingshan laughed so hard that she fell backwards and forwards, unable to control herself. Chen Xi, on the other hand, hung his head and picked his ears with his fingers, looking somewhat helpless and embarrassed.

"Okay, I'm home, do you want to come in and sit down?"

Zhao Lingshan stopped in front of a villa that looked brand new.

"No, I have to catch a plane tomorrow morning. I'm leaving now. You should get some rest."

Chen Xi declined the other party's invitation and prepared to leave.

"OK Bye Bye!"

Zhao Lingshan seemed a little disappointed, probably because she was about to separate from Chen Xi.

Her steps gradually slowed down. The distance that was originally only a few meters now felt extremely far away.

"Shanshan!"

Suddenly, Chen Xi mustered up the courage to turn around, as if he had made up his mind.

He felt a little different at this moment than before.

"Ok?"

Zhao Lingshan felt her heart suddenly beat, as if it had been hit hard, and she immediately stood still.

Then, she quickly turned around and looked at Chen Xi, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

"sorry!"

Chen Xi shouted out these three words with some excitement, his fists clenched tightly, as if releasing the guilt and regret in his heart.

In his previous life, he didn't have the chance to say this, but now, he finally had the chance to muster up the courage to express his apology to Zhao Lingshan.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Zhao Lingshan did not hear the words she expected, but instead heard Chen Xi say "I'm sorry".

These three words made her feel a little confused and baffled, because she didn't understand why Chen Xi wanted to apologize.

"When you were little, you broke your leg. I didn't go to see you because I was afraid that others would misunderstand that there was something going on between you and me. I was quite introverted at that time and I cared a lot about what people around me said. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"And I deliberately distanced myself from you later..."

Chen Xi's face showed deep guilt. He apologized repeatedly, with a hint of sob in his voice.

There was some moisture in his eyes, sparkling with tears of guilt and regret.

He has been extremely strong since he was young. Even when he was injured in a fight with others, he would not shed a tear.

However, at this moment, just a few words suddenly made him fall into deep sadness.

Zhao Lingshan stood there, and when she heard what Chen Xi said, she lowered her head silently, biting her lips, and her two little hands were intertwined with each other with some trembling.

Several minutes passed like this, and she suddenly raised her head and ran towards Chen Xi, burying her head deeply in his chest, letting her tears flow.

"You know what? I thought you hated me before, thinking I was the kind of arrogant and unreasonable young lady. I have been trying to change myself for so many years, wu~" Zhao Lingshan said in a crying voice.

Chen Xi hadn't seen Zhao Lingshan cry like this for a long time.

The last time was when they were in elementary school and had a quarrel over some minor conflict.

Chen Xi stroked her hair gently, feeling a little emotional.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

"You bastard, it took you so long to say this to me. I've been waiting for so many years..."

Chen Xi kept apologizing with great remorse, while Zhao Lingshan stayed in his arms, hitting his body with her little fists, and mumbling about the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart.

The two of them hugged each other and cried, and the misunderstandings and conflicts of the past were released at this moment.

After years of suppressed emotions, they are finally released.

After a long time, Zhao Lingshan seemed to have used up all her tears and slowly stopped crying.

She wiped her face with her tearful hands and took a step back.

Chen Xi felt a little comforted when he saw Zhao Lingshan stop crying.

"Boom~"

However, the next second Zhao Lingshan stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.

"You..." Chen Xi was stunned.

"Don't think too much. You have a girlfriend, and I'm not the kind of third party who likes to interfere in other people's relationships. This kiss is just a farewell between childhood sweethearts. If you break up, remember to let me know. I promise that you won't be able to escape from my grasp. Okay, I'm leaving now. If I see you again, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my tears."

Zhao Lingshan said this and turned to leave.

Although her tone was firm, tears still glistened in her eyes.

"Goodbye, Shanshan!"

Chen Xi looked at Zhao Lingshan's departing back and waved his hand gently.

"Goodbye, Chen Xi!"

Zhao Lingshan didn't look back, but she stretched out a hand and waved it in the air. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears.

The next day, Chen Xi said a brief goodbye to his father and boarded the return flight.

He looked through the plane window at the city gradually disappearing into the distance, feeling a complex mix of emotions welling up in his heart.

Memories of last night came flooding back, making it impossible for him to calm down.

After pouring out the words that had been pent up in his heart, he did not feel the expected sense of relief.

He originally thought that this would make him feel relieved, but contrary to his expectations, his heart became even more troubled.

This is very different from the plot in the movie where the hero and heroine gain spiritual redemption after pouring out their hearts.

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh that the plots in the movie were all lies!

Because he got up too early, he soon fell asleep leaning against the window of the plane.

In the dream, Chen Xi saw another self, sitting in front of a computer and typing on the keyboard, apparently writing an article.

Neatly arranged words appeared on the screen, densely packed, and the content was as follows:

PS: The author felt some emotional pressure when writing about the relationship between the protagonist and Zhao Lingshan.

Because Zhao Lingshan had returned to China a few months ago, the author did not choose to meet her, nor did he find an opportunity to say the words in the article.

Perhaps, some words seem difficult to say when you are young, but as time goes by, you may lose the opportunity to express them forever.

I myself have an indescribable feeling about this decision. I think it is a manifestation of escape and cowardice.

I have always considered myself a brave person, but when faced with this matter, I always chose to escape. It may be because my current living conditions are not satisfactory, and there is now a big gap between our identities, and there is a bit of inferiority in it.

There will always be some regrets in life, and some words should be said early while you are young.

I hope we can all face our own hearts bravely and no longer have any regrets.

This may be like the lyrics in Jay Chou's "Can't Open My Mouth".

"I just can't open my mouth to let her know

I can’t do just a few simple words…”
