Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

"How heartless! Do you know how hard it is to buy tickets for New Year's Day?" Chen Jingxing couldn't help but "complain".

"I didn't ask you to come here." I hummed, trying to break free from his embrace and look him in the eye. "Looking at you like this, you must not have eaten. Wait for me, I'll take you to eat."

There was no time to run to the fourth floor, so I carried my things into the dormitory aunt's room. The aunt on duty today was the most gentle and easy to talk to. "Go and have fun, leave your things here, and come back before one o'clock."

One o'clock ago? I thought I heard it wrong...

Auntie saw my confusion and smiled, "It's New Year, everyone wants to celebrate the New Year outside, go ahead, and be safe."

This news is a bit surprising. Maybe the school has "come to its senses" after the "Christmas incident"?

"Auntie, what I bought are all food, you can eat as much as you want, don't be polite!" He waved goodbye to the aunt and trotted to Chen Jingxing, "Let's go!"

He grabbed my arm and said, "Why are you running so fast? Aren't you afraid of falling? Your legs..."

"It's fine now!" I shook my legs. "Look, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you on WeChat. You had to see it with your own eyes. Do you want me to lift up my trouser leg to show you? Only the scar is left." As I said that, I was about to lift up my trouser leg.

Chen Jingxing held her hand and pulled her into his arms. "Little fool, what do you want to do in such a cold weather? Isn't it enough that I believe you?"

I bent my waist and stepped out of his embrace, "Stop hugging me all the time, it's not good, it's not good."

He smiled and said nothing, just looking at me quietly.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked, ignoring his burning gaze.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go eat barbecue. I said before that I would go eat it with you, but we didn't get to eat it when we left. Let's make up for it this time."

Judging from the weather today, you must wait for a table when you go out to eat. After getting the queue number plate, the two of us walked around nearby.

"Would you like to watch a movie after dinner?" Chen Jingxing calmly held my hand and frowned slightly, "Why are your hands so cold?"

The next second, he put my right hand into his coat pocket. I tried to break free, but he held it tighter. I looked up into his clear eyes and asked, "It won't be a big deal if I hold your hand for a while, right?" He asked seriously.

It's really okay... just hold it... you're handsome and you have the final say...

Even though I thought so, I still secretly cursed myself for being useless and acting like a coward who has never seen a handsome guy.

"There haven't been any good movies lately." I answered his question, "I don't really want to watch one."

I really don't want to watch it. I don't know when this trend started, but the themes of New Year's Eve movies are either romance or love. It seems like there's nothing else to film except these. All holidays are almost being turned into couples' anniversaries. I don't like it.

"Well... how about we go for a walk after dinner? I heard there will be fireworks here later, it will be very lively."

"Hmm..." I nodded, then thought, "How come you know better than me?"

He smiled slyly, "Since you're here to date your beloved, of course you have to do your homework. There's also the lantern tour." He walked to the other side, held my left hand and continued to warm it, "Wait a little longer, the milk tea will be ready soon. I didn't expect there would be so many people today."

I hummed softly, not even knowing when this person ordered the milk tea.

Three-tenths sugar is still very sweet. Chen Jingxing noticed my micro-expression and asked, "Is it still too sweet?"

I nodded. "Candy is free."

The corners of his eyes slightly raised, "You are really the person who hates sweets the most that I have ever seen. The usual tricks to coax girls don't work on you."

I calmly replied: "It seems that you are very experienced in this area."

He was anxious...

"I swear to God! Absolutely not!" The way he hurriedly raised three fingers to swear his loyalty was really funny.

Seeing my disbelief, someone became even more anxious, holding my hand and shaking it back and forth, acting like a spoiled child, "Believe me, I really didn't, you are the only one in my heart!"

A young couple passing by heard the second half of our conversation, and the boy said lightly: "Brother, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth'~"

Somehow, it made me laugh. No matter how calm I tried, I couldn't hide my laughter. "Don't tell me you have a 'Military Advisor Group' around you and learned some nonsense."

Chen Jingxing blushed, "Now it seems that those guys didn't teach me anything good..."

I suddenly leaned in and looked at him, and his face turned even redder. "Chen Jingxing, you really have never had a romantic relationship in school?"

"No." He answered sincerely and seriously.

"You haven't talked to a man either?"

"Cheng Lin!" Seeing his face turn the color of liver, I apologized immediately, "Brother, I was wrong..."

His expression eased a little, and I started to act stupid again, "I don't believe that no man would chase you with this look~"

Before he could explode, I took a step back with foreboding, but he grabbed me first. He was so close to me that I could count his eyelashes. He whispered in my ear, "If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind proving my strength to you."

I was not right, I admitted my mistake, "Brother, I was really wrong, I will never dare to do it again..."

But he had no intention of letting me go. Every time I took a step back, he took a step forward. We retreated until we had no room to retreat and had to lean against the railing. His whole body was almost on top of me.

He looked at me with restless eyes, and if he took one step closer, his lips would be close to mine. This was in public...

I turned my face away and said, "It's time to go eat..."

The meal was very quiet, after all, we were both very hungry. I was the only one left in the dormitory, so I had to make do with the meal. I got up early and ate a piece of bread, then walked around outside. I bought two large bags of food and prepared to feast. I met Chen Jingxing again. Needless to say, it was difficult to buy tickets for New Year's Day, so he changed trains in the middle to get to Dongyuan. He said, "I haven't eaten anything, so pitiful."

I ordered a set meal for four people and the two of us finished it all.

The barbecue restaurant is on the street, and I can hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks from time to time, which makes me feel itchy.

"It feels like I haven't seen fireworks in a while." The person sitting opposite me seemed to see what I was thinking, "I wonder if there's anyone selling fairy wands? I'll buy some for you.

My eyes lit up instantly, with undisguised joy, fairy wands, how fun that would be~

After dinner, when I walked to the back street, I actually met a stall selling fireworks. I ran over excitedly like a child and picked out several boxes of sparklers.

"It's rare to see you so happy. I'm not much older than you, so why do I feel like you've never played these before?" Chen Jingxing looked at me lovingly while paying, with eyes like a kindergarten teacher staring at a child.

I couldn't wait to open a box, light one, and shake it in my hand. "This is something I dreamed of when I was a kid, but it was out of reach. I've seen it, but I've never owned it."

"It's not expensive. It was even cheaper when I was a kid. It shouldn't be that hard to buy a box, right?" Chen Jingxing also took out a fairy wand and lit it towards mine.

I looked at him with a look of "Why don't you eat meat?", "When everyone's childhood was as well-off as yours~"

Actually, it’s not that I don’t have money to buy them, but in their eyes, I don’t deserve them. All the good, delicious, fun, and beautiful things belong to Cheng Xinlin. They can all have their turn, but I don’t deserve anything. My grandfather secretly bought me some small fireworks, but they were snatched away by Cheng Xinlin…

Even though I grew up and was able to buy it myself, I no longer have the same mentality as when I was a child. I don’t want to be reborn and have this kind of happiness again.

Chen Jingxing said seriously: "From now on...I will buy everything for you."

"I can buy it myself and comfort myself~" I met his eyes and smiled warmly, "But I am still very grateful to you. At least I never thought that I would spend the New Year's Eve with you."

The sound of firecrackers broke the brief gaze between the two, and the flashes of fireworks cut through the not-so-dark night sky. More and more people gathered, cheering, and preparing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.
