Chapter 83
: Becoming More and More Obedient
Bai Xinran slowly stood up, head down, walked to the sink, and turned on the faucet.
I washed my hands and then splashed water on my face.
"Are you all packed up?" Yu Heng's voice came from the doorway.
"Mmm." Bai Xinran took out a tissue to wipe her face.
"Come here." Yu Heng said, already sitting back on the sofa.
Bai Xinran lingered and followed him over, sitting down in the seat next to him.
Yu Heng asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Huh?" Bai Xinran touched her stomach. "A little bit."
"Want to order takeout?" Yu Heng took out his phone. "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine...barbecue?" Bai Xinran asked tentatively.
After doing something so mentally and physically exhausting, I just want to eat something with a strong flavor.
Yu Heng took out his phone: "Then I'll keep an eye on it."
"Okay~" Bai Xinran replied in a soft, sweet voice.
She found herself becoming increasingly submissive to him.
"What kind of reward do you want?" Yu Heng asked.
"I don't know..." Bai Xinran murmured.
"How about this, you design one of the items in your cabinet, and I'll go and create the model and mold."
"Really? Is it really possible?"
"Of course it's true."
"thank you!"
The barbecue delivery arrived quite quickly.
Yu Heng ordered quite a lot, including two cans of Coke.
The smell of barbecue overshadowed the subtle atmosphere that had just been there.
Bai Xinran sat cross-legged on the carpet next to the sofa, and Yu Heng broke open a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them to her.
"Here you go." Yu Heng handed her another skewer of mutton.
"Thank you." Bai Xinran took it and took a bite. "Delicious!"
She narrowed her eyes, and the tension she had felt earlier slowly eased.
Yu Heng also grabbed a skewer of beef and leaned back on the sofa to eat it.
Neither of them spoke. Bai Xinran was actually a bit too hungry and felt full after eating two or three skewers.
She sipped her cola and stole a glance at Yu Heng.
His eating manners weren't exactly refined, but they were alright; he was just very ordinary.
She's actually not bad looking, but not particularly stunning.
They had only known each other for about a month, but they were already close to being completely honest with each other.
This might seem like a bit too much for a normal couple, but within their social circle, it's actually not that bad.
She had attended experience sharing sessions in her social circle, and many partners quickly established relationships with her.
Some relationships even started the same day they met and surprisingly remained stable for a long time.
"What are you looking at?" Yu Heng suddenly asked, glancing at her.
"No..." Bai Xinran quickly looked away, "It's just that you seem pretty calm about everything."
"What else?" Yu Heng tossed the bamboo skewers into the empty box. "What's the big deal?"
"That's true." Bai Xinran pursed her lips.
Yu Heng was telling the truth; he felt that his threshold had increased after his rebirth.
He had a general idea of what would happen in the next few years.
What can make money? What will develop?
If he could even remember a few lottery numbers in his past life, he could become rich overnight.
Unfortunately, he never buys lottery tickets or gambles on football.
I don't play the stock market, and I know nothing about Bitcoin.
He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary media industry worker.
After being reborn, he only thought about the fields he was familiar with, because he felt that if he didn't work in this field, he might not be any different from if he hadn't been reborn.
The only difference is that nothing is surprising anymore. In the short video era a few years later, you can see all sorts of bizarre and outrageous things.
What frustrated him most was that his only forms of entertainment were watching dramas and anime.
Now that he's been reborn, it means he hasn't seen anything new in at least seven years!
Many things are predictable, but the unknown is what makes it fun.
Yu Heng felt that the greatest significance of being reborn was not how much wealth one possessed, but rather being content with modest wealth.
The greatest joy is creating the unknown within the framework of what is known.
To make amends, to change, to improve within one's existing life trajectory—that is rebirth, that is being true to oneself, that is true rebirth.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Yu Heng asked, "Are you full?"
"Mm." Bai Xinran nodded.
"Then pack up, it's time to go back to school." Yu Heng glanced at the time, it was ten o'clock, now was the perfect time to walk back.
"Okay." Bai Xinran got up, put the trash on the table into a plastic bag and tied it up.
Yu Heng also stood up and stretched.
"I'm going back to my room to change my clothes." She was still wearing a large T-shirt.
"Let's change here," Yu Heng suddenly suggested.
Bai Xinran paused, turned around, and exclaimed, "Huh? No way!"
"Why not?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. "You've seen it everywhere, why are you still hiding it from me?"
"That's different!"
Seeing her resolute expression, Yu Heng smiled and said, "Alright, go change then."
He didn't insist.
"Then wait a moment." Bai Xinran turned and walked towards the bedroom.
"Come back!" Yu Heng called out to her again.
Bai Xinran stopped and turned around, pouting, "What is it now...?"
Yu Heng narrowed his eyes, looking at her: "What should you say?"
"Ah..." Bai Xinran reacted and said in a soft voice, "Thank you..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Heng smiled and said, "Alright! Go ahead!"
Bai Xinran pursed her lips and went into the room.
She changed her clothes very quickly, as if she was afraid that Yu Heng would suddenly push the door open and come in.
Although she knew he wouldn't.
After changing her clothes and going downstairs, Yu Heng was already waiting at the door, wearing a coat.
"Let's go," he said.
"Um."
The two went out, locked the door, and headed towards the school.
The evening breeze was a bit chilly. Bai Xinran zipped her down jacket all the way up and put her hands in her pockets. Yu Heng walked beside her.
The two of them have been walking like this for over a month.
They probably became familiar with each other through these daily noises and quiet evening walks.
