Rebirth: My Mother is a Virgin Mary

There was a long silence, and the air seemed to condense. I lowered my head, but I could still feel Chen Jingxing's burning gaze from above me.

With a long sigh, Chen Jingxing gently embraced me and said, "I'm sorry, Lin, I didn't know you had such a heavy psychological burden. I thought that as long as I persisted, I would be able to impress you one day..."

He let me go, leaned over and looked straight at me, his voice deliberately low and magnetic, with a soft ending.

"Auntie Re has told me about your family, A-Lin, I feel sorry for you and I want to take care of you for the rest of my life. I don't want you to feel burdened, and I don't want you to feel embarrassed. In fact, I understand that our so-called 'date' is just you pretending to be sensible because of the relationship. You treat me like your other friends. If other classmates from other places come to see you, you will also accompany them like this..."

"You...if I...said anything harsh, don't take it to heart..." Looking at Chen Jingxing's sad face, I felt a little guilty.

"How could that be? A-Lin is the most thoughtful person." He touched my head, "You won't embarrass me and say no in the most decent way."

I lowered my head again, and I couldn’t tell what I was feeling.

"Look at you, you must be blaming yourself." He held my hand, "How can you have so many emotions in your heart? It's like a treasure that makes people want to explore it."

"Ah Lin, don't think too much. I know how to act appropriately. Don't feel any psychological burden."

I looked up at him, meeting his gentle, smiling eyes, "Yeah."

"Will you send me off tomorrow?"

"Okay!" I promised him.

When I walked downstairs to the dormitory, I was about to say goodbye to Chen Jingxing, but Chen Jingxing suddenly came over and said, "A-Lin..."

I was shocked...

"I know your family and upbringing may have affected your current view of love. It doesn't matter. I will wait for as long as it takes... Since I am so devout, can you promise me one thing?"

"You say." I believe he would not make any excessive demands.

"If one day, you are willing to accept a relationship, can you... consider me first... Even if there are many people in the queue, can you let me go to the front? Even if I am not in the front, can you let me cut in line..."

I burst out laughing. I was touched by his innocence at that moment. "I don't know what will happen in the future, so I won't make promises to you easily. If there really comes a day when I want to fall in love...well...I should consider you. After all...looking at your face is really a pleasure for me both physically and mentally."

"Hmm~" Chen Jingxing stroked his chin, "It seems that this face is still useful~"

Xiao Wen didn't come back, and when I thought I would sleep alone tonight, Shu Yu pushed the door open.

"Oh, I thought you weren't coming back today~" I teased.

"Am I such a casual person?" Shu Yu pretended to hit me.

"So what did you do yesterday?"

"I swear to God, we didn't sleep together!" Shu Yu raised three fingers.

Of course I believe that Shu Yu is a very determined person, both in his past life and in this life.

"Let's talk business..." Shu Yu climbed onto my bed, "When I came back just now, I saw Xiao Wen and Fang Jinyu. They were arguing, and I overheard some gossip, and then I felt something was wrong..."

Shu Yu kept glancing at me, and I would be a fool if I didn't know what was going on. "Just listen to it, don't take it to heart, I don't take it to heart."

"I understand that Fang Jinyu likes you, and I'm not surprised, but I just feel a little alienated..." Shu Yu wrapped my quilt around me, "Fang Jinyu looks honest, but he's actually cunning. It's as easy for him to play with Xiao Wen as to kill an ant. I don't want you or anyone else in the dormitory to have contact with him. If Xiao Wen wants to jump into the trap, I won't stop him."

"That's it. I won't and don't want to have any contact with him." I poked the facial bubbles on my face and had a lot of fun.

"I have to be on high alert. Xiao Wen might come back and throw a pillow at you." Although Shu Yu was yawning, he had no intention of sleeping.

"Oh, I threw it away yesterday... early this morning."

"What?!?!"

"But she apologized again this morning."

"Apologizing alone is useless!" Shu Yu stormed out.

"What else do you want? I won't care. If I do, it means I care. Who knows what I'm thinking." I put on a facial mask and "surged" towards Shu Yu. "I told you not to take it personally. Why are you so angry? Tomorrow, Huo Feifei will be heartbroken when she sees you with dark circles under your eyes."

"If he really loves me, he'll beat up Fang Jinyu!" Shu Yu snorted.

"What the hell is going on here?" I smiled so hard that my face wrinkled. "So Huo Feifei has to beat up anyone you don't like. Besides, what can he beat up? It's not as satisfying as doing it yourself."

"Is Fang Jinyu worthy of a roundhouse kick from me?" Shu Yu climbed back to his bed, "Turn off the lights and go to sleep!"

"Not waiting for Xiao Wen to come back?"

"She can't knock on the door herself!" Shu Yu covered himself with the quilt.

This is a "small-minded" thing. She lives on the upper bunk, so I have to be the only one to open the door for Xiao Wen~

But Xiao Wen did not come back that night, which made Shu Yu and I a little worried.

Shu Yu was drinking porridge while wondering: "It's not like they went to get a room after the quarrel yesterday..."

Having said that, Shu Yu was still worried and sent several WeChat messages to Xiao Wen.

When I went out to see Chen Jingxing off, Xiao Wen still hadn't come back and hadn't replied to the message.

Chen Jingxing noticed that I didn't look well, "Didn't you get enough rest?"

"My roommate didn't come back overnight and didn't reply to messages. I was a little worried."

"Has she had this happen before?"

"She had a boyfriend at that time, so she would tell us if she wasn't coming back. Even if we thought she wasn't coming back, she would still come back if we asked her. This time is indeed different..." I scratched my head, "But it shouldn't be a big deal..."

"Well... can you please focus on me? You are giving it to me~" Chen Jingxing stood in front of me with his arms folded, looking like he was asking for attention.

"Let's go and have dinner~" I chuckled.

Chen Jingxing's high-speed train ticket was at 5:30 pm, so I could have lunch before sending him off. He kept picking up food for me, but he didn't eat much himself.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of getting sick on the high-speed train after eating too much?" I stuffed a mouthful of sweet and sour pork.

"Yeah." He nodded.

"Are you really dizzy from high-speed trains?" I obviously didn't believe it.

"No matter what kind of transportation I use, I don't eat much before I get on it, whether it's a car, a high-speed train, or an airplane."

"What a delicate and beautiful man~" Fortunately, we didn't order any dishes and haven't ordered the main course yet.

"But I'm very happy to have dinner with you, not to mention the local specialties you bought for me." Chen Jingxing patted the bag beside him.

"It's a gift to return the favor. Didn't you bring Daoxiangcun when you came?" Although Shu Yu had already shown off half a box of it last night~

"I'll send it to you when I return to Beijing." Chen Jingxing held his chin and looked at me with satisfaction.

"Well, thank you on behalf of my roommates~" I had almost finished the plate of sweet and sour pork.

Before sending Chen Jingxing to the station, he handed me a big box and said, "I know you wouldn't want it if I gave it to you before, so I have to give it to you before you leave. You can't let me take it back, it doesn't make sense!"

Still... pretty heavy...

"I've saved this for a long time. I'll look at it when I get back." Chen Jingxing touched my face reluctantly, "Remember to think of me when you leave."
