Rebirth: It's Not You, It's Me

After the meal, I drove back home and saw that Chan hadn't come back yet, so I called him.

After the call was connected, I heard that Chandu was very busy. So I asked, "Where are you, Chandu?"

"I'm at the snack street. There are so many delicious foods here!"

"Which snack street are you at? I'll drive to pick you up." We can't let this guy get lost in the country.

"The one that's closest to home." I'll walk to the one that's closest to home!

After hanging up the phone, I went out and soon arrived at the snack street. After searching for a long time, I found Chandu waiting for food in front of a stall.

I went over and blindfolded him and didn't say anything, but he immediately guessed who I was.

"How do you know who I am?"

"I smell your scent."

I smelled myself and I didn’t have any smell!

"What did you buy?"

"These!" he said and handed me several bags in his hand.

"Isn't that enough? There's already so much?"

“I want to try them all.”

"If you try them all, you probably won't be able to go home for several years. There are countless delicious foods in China."

"Then I'll come often, and you can take me out to eat often."

"You won't be free after your debut. You will definitely increase the intensity of your training after this holiday." I know that they trained hard in their previous life and several of them were injured.

"Then I should eat more now. I won't have the chance to come here often, and I won't be able to eat. I don't know how happy Xiaoshi will be when he comes here in the future, he's a big foodie."

"If you go back and tell him that you came to China, he will be so angry that he will cry!"

"I won't tell him, or he'll cry and say I'm going to take you away. There's really no way to comfort him."

"Ha ha……"

The two of us talked and laughed and bought a lot of things. I also gave him some information about where these snacks were from.

After I got home and washed up, I saw Chandu still watching TV and eating in the living room and reminded him, "Sleeping in late is bad for your skin, and eating too much at night is not good for your figure."

"I'll be full in a little while, go and rest first, don't worry about me."

"Then I won't care about you anymore, you should go to bed early."

"Yeah, okay!" This guy talked to me without taking his eyes off the screen.

I went back to the bedroom and fell asleep immediately.

The next day, which was the 29th of the lunar year, I took Chandu to the mall to buy a lot of New Year's goods. Then I drove home. Of course, I directed Chandu to drive.

It was already afternoon when we got home. We first went to the county town, where my parents had already gone back to their hometown. I planned not to spend the New Year at home this year, and Can and I went to Shanghai to visit his father.

I called my parents and told them about my situation.

"Mom, my friend is coming to our house for the New Year, but I have too many emotional issues this year, so I'm bringing my colleague back this time. I'm going to Shanghai to play for two days. I'll come back after he leaves on the second day of the New Year."

"Why do you care so much? Just come back. If anyone dares to say something nonsense to my face, I will tear their mouths apart."

"Mom, I haven't been out for fun for a year, so I want to go out and relax. I'll go back to my hometown in the evening and bring you some New Year's goods."

"Okay." Mom knew that I would not change my mind, so she had to compromise.

I went to Yu Shi's tombstone, brought him peach-flavored candies and flowers, sat aside and chatted with him, telling him about my experiences in the second half of this year.

"Dayu, I just won the Best Newcomer Award yesterday. Are you happy for me?"

"Dayo and I are back from training, so we don't have to go next year."

"Da Yu, I'm going to the Magic City tomorrow to relax. You know, there are too many scandals. I can't go back to our village for the time being."

"Why didn't you appear in my dreams anymore? Is it because you forgot me?"

"..."

I sat in front of Shen Yushi's tomb for nearly two hours.

"Dayu, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you next time."

After returning home, I took Candu for a stroll in the small county town, showing him that our small county town is well built.

It was not until the evening that I drove back home with Candu. My parents saw that I was in good condition, welcomed me and Candu into the house, and unloaded the New Year's goods I bought from the car.

"Xiao Du is here, come in and sit down."

"Hello, auntie, hello, uncle, hello, grandma, hello, grandpa!"

This is the etiquette in their country, greeting and bowing at the same time.

"Don't be polite, we'll have dinner soon. Sit down and rest for a while."

"Yes Auntie."

The younger brother came over and looked at Chandu with a suspicious look.

"You want to pursue my sister too? Your house is too far away, I don't agree."

"Chan doesn't understand what you're saying! Go away and put it on, you idiot!"

"What did he say? Can you translate it for me?"

"He told you to eat and take good care of his sister when you go out to play." I blurted out something that made Chan feel very strange.

From the look on my brother's face it seemed like he was warning him, but what I translated was concern, which seemed a bit wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong.

I finished my meal with my family, distributed the gifts to them, and then returned to my home in the county with Chandu.

"Why don't you spend the New Year at your house? Have you bought clothes?"

"Because I want to take you to see your father! He will be lonely if he spends the New Year here alone. Do you want to go?"

"My father has already returned home this morning!" I was so confused! What the hell was my plan?

"Then let's celebrate the New Year here. Let's go buy some New Year's goods tomorrow! Otherwise, we'll have nothing to eat."

"Why don't you go back to your hometown?"

"Because if you bring a boy home for no reason, people will gossip about you. This is secondary. The main thing is that if someone takes a photo of us together, you will have scandals when you debut. The company will punish you."

"Well, let's spend the New Year here for the two of us."

The next day, after getting up and packing, I took Candu to buy New Year's goods.

There are many styles to choose from, but the quantity required is very small, after all, I will only stay at home until the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, window decorations, red decorations. Everything is available.

After returning home, we decorated the house to create a New Year atmosphere. We changed the bed sheets and quilt covers and cleaned the house. We were so tired. At 5pm, I took Chandu with me to mix the dough, stir the stuffing, and make dumplings.

"This is really fun. It's my first time making dumplings by myself. Luoluo, you're amazing."

"We are forced to do this. If you don't cover us, we will starve."

"Hey, after I learn it, I'll pack it and you can watch."

"Then you have to study hard!"

"Uh-huh!"

I made the dumplings and cooked them myself. After eating the dumplings, I prepared a few side dishes, took two cups, poured drinks in them, put them on the coffee table, and prepared to eat while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Of course I also have to call relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year.

After a round of phone calls, the Spring Festival Gala is about to begin.

"Aren't you going to call your parents?"

"Fighted."

"Our country's Spring Festival Gala is very good. It lasts until the second half of the night, so we can stay up together to celebrate the New Year."

The phone suddenly rang. It was Xiaoshi calling. I quickly made a silence gesture to Candu.

After answering the phone: "Sister Luo Luo, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Xiao Shi."

"Have you eaten?"

"Ate."

"..."

After talking for a few minutes and hanging up the phone, Chandu dared to speak.

"This kid, calling you makes me look like a thief."

"Haha...why don't you tell him and let him cry to you?"

"Then forget it!"

The Spring Festival Gala started, with singing, opera, acrobatics, and skits. Although Chan didn't understand anything, he could get the general idea. It was also hilarious.
