Small Town Rebirth: Starting From Birth

On the internet, people often commemorate their childhoods. Chen Bing, a young man from a small town who was one of them, found himself back 24 years ago, in the small town of his birth, after his ...

Chapter 158 Feed Me

Qiao Mengmeng: Huh? We'll be there at eight o'clock? Does that mean I have to get up really early, not get enough sleep, and then I'll get dark circles under my eyes?

Zhang Xinyu: You can go to bed a little earlier the night before.

Qiao Mengmeng: But, for non-members, "xxxx" updates three episodes every Thursday night at 9 pm. I can't sleep if I can't finish watching it.

Cai Kunnan: Then you can use double speed.

Qiao Mengmeng: No way! Using the speed-up mode means I'll miss so much time, it feels like such a waste! Is there anyone kind enough to lend me a membership?

Seeing the other person's disgusting reply, and thinking about her large face that even moths would linger over, Cai Kunnan felt a wave of nausea. To alleviate his discomfort, Cai Kunnan decided to give her a good thrashing. He turned to his good classmate Jiang Yu beside him and asked him for advice.

"Brother Yu, do you know any websites with viruses? You mean pirated ones where you can watch movies and TV shows in advance?"

Upon hearing his good friend's request, Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and then silently sent him a website address.

"Don't click on this website, or your phone will get a virus and become increasingly slow. The longer you use it, the bigger the problems will become."

Upon hearing this, Cai Kunnan was overjoyed. After a brief thank you, he couldn't wait to send the message privately to Qiao Mengmeng.

Cai Kunnan: Well, although I don't have a membership, I found a pirated website from someone else.

Upon seeing the message Cai Kunnan sent her, Qiao Mengmeng was initially suspicious of why he would send her this. Considering that he might like her, she thought about his dark face and short stature, and immediately felt contempt. What? So he's sending her pirated websites? How stingy.

After much deliberation, considering that she had recently asked her online boyfriend for a QQ Yellow Diamond membership, it would be difficult to ask him for an iQiyi membership now, so she had no choice but to reluctantly accept it.

Qiao Mengmeng: Okay, thank you. I'll show it to my boyfriend later too.

After giving Cai Kunnan a hint, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she clicked on the website he sent her.

What brought her some comfort was that the website Cai Kunnan sent her was not only rich in resources, but also free of annoying ads. Although it was a bit laggy, with its ultra-high-definition quality, that was hardly a problem.

"Fine, even though you're not exactly handsome, you've still put in the effort." After a disdainful laugh from his large face, Qiao Mengmeng became engrossed in her brother's stunning good looks, occasionally contorting her body on the bed and letting out strange laughs.

Qiao Mengmeng's message in the class group went unanswered, as everyone had already started a heated discussion about other topics.

Just then, Shang Yunmiao finished trying on the clothes and sat down next to Chen Bing.

"Chen Bing, what are you looking at?" Xiao Shang asked, tilting her cute head and staring at the phone screen in Chen Bing's hand.

"Class group chat, what are you holding in your hands?" Chen Bing leaned over and asked, noticing the delicate plastic cup that Shang Yunmiao was holding in both hands.

"Strawberry yogurt, Mom bought it for me, Chen Bing, do you want some?"

"Feed me."

These two simple words perfectly reveal Chen Bing's position in the family.

After saying that, the boy turned back to check the messages in the class group chat, while Xiao Shang held the milk tea in both hands and brought it to his lips, looking like she was carefully serving him.

Taking a sip of the sweet and sour yogurt from the straw that Shang Yunmiao had probably bitten not long ago, Chen Bing continued reading the messages.

Song Ze: I feel that our class's results may be pretty good this time. For example, I got all the multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank questions in math right.

Wenxin: This math exam was relatively easy, so it wasn't easy to create a significant gap in scores. Once our class's weaknesses are addressed, our average score and ranking should improve.

Zhang Xinyu: Everyone is great (thumbs up).

Zhang Xinyu: (Cat delivering flowers.jpg)

Upon seeing the novel and adorable emojis that Xinyu posted, Ma Shaolong immediately felt a surge of excitement. After a moment of reflection, he saved all of Xinyu's emojis and then copied her style and posted them as well.

Ma Shaolong: Everyone was great (thumbs up).

Ma Shaolong: (Cat delivering flowers.jpg)

After sending the message, Ma Shaolong suddenly felt that he and Zhang Xinyu were, respectively, the class monitor and the sports committee member. One was academic and the other athletic, one focused on internal affairs and the other on external matters, sharing the important responsibility of maintaining the class.

Even now, the encouraging messages they send out are the same. Ma Shaolong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Xinyu and I are such a perfect match. Anyone who sees us would think we're like Chen Bing and Shang Yunmiao, a match made in heaven!"

Ma Shaolong's dream didn't last long. He soon saw Wen Xin copying the two of them, sending the same kitten sending flowers emoji. Following closely behind were other class officers such as Song Ze, Cai Kunnan, and Ma Lele, as well as ordinary classmates.

Although this made the group chat appear harmonious and the group much more organized, Ma Shaolong no longer felt like he was paired with Zhang Xinyu. However, at least he was the first person to send a message after Xinyu. In that respect, Ma Shaolong felt somewhat gratified.

Wenxin: So the results should be out by now, right?

Song Ze: Yes, I heard from my uncle in the Education Bureau that they've been busy compiling the results of the junior high school exams across the county these past few days.

Song Ze: Have you guys estimated your own performance?

Wenxin: It's about 450.

Song Ze: The third question in the English reading comprehension section, that...

Once the conversation turned to academics, significantly fewer people chimed in from the class.

Soon, the group of forty or fifty people became the place where Song Ze and Wen Xin discussed their questions. The others couldn't find a place to chime in, and since they didn't have anything to say, they all fell silent and watched the screen.

But the two of them were talking in a rather cryptic way, and no one really understood what they were saying, so they gradually dispersed.

Having seen this, Chen Bing put down her phone and focused on drinking her milk tea.

After a few big slurps, the milk tea that was originally more than half full was now only a little less. But Shang Yunmiao wasn't angry. After taking back her milk tea, she held it in both hands and sipped it slowly.

Her submissive attitude made Chen Bing feel quite embarrassed. If she were angry and pouting, he could have teased her a bit. But the girl's current obedient and unperturbed demeanor made him feel guilty.

After glancing around, Chen Bing spotted a milk tea shop and immediately took Shang Yunmiao's hand, leading her to buy another cup.

Before I had even finished the previous one, another cup appeared in my hand.

Shang Yunmiao happily nudged Chen Bing's shoulder with her head, then swung her legs on the chair and drank happily, her movements just as before: holding herself up with both hands, head down, focused on drinking.
