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 341 Chen Bing Wants a Lap Pillow

Compared to the "size" of universities, universities are not particularly prominent in terms of "learning".

In short, during the visit, Shang Yunmiao did not see the scene she had imagined: university students sitting in every corner of the campus, enthusiastically discussing academic issues.

This shattered her illusions about university and made her question the meaning of her years of hard work.

Well... although it's not nice to say it like this, Chen Bing, who could tell what Xiao Shang was thinking from her stunned look, felt that even if it would humiliate Wenzhou Medical University, she had to say something for Chinese university education.

So he cleared his throat, and after Shang Yunmiao noticed him, he first glanced at the people around him, and then whispered in Shang Yunmiao's ear: "So you see, the meaning of studying hard in high school is to get into a university with a good learning atmosphere in the future."

As for which schools have a poor learning atmosphere, there's no need to specifically name them. Although this might sound a bit disparaging of Wenzhou Medical University, it's all for the sake of the healthy education of our nation's future generations, so we can only ask you to make do.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shang nodded in sudden realization, understanding that she had made the mistake of generalizing from limited evidence; in other words, she had not considered the issue from a comprehensive and dialectical perspective.

Feeling a sense of relief, Chen Bing pointed to the south gate of the school they had just entered and said, "It's past eight o'clock now, are you hungry? Come on, let's go to the night market together!"

Okay~

Grilled Octopus cardboard cutlet, savory pancakes, sushi, stinky tofu, pan-fried buns, mutton skewers...

You know what, you really shouldn't say that. Regardless of how much knowledge college students acquire after traveling thousands of miles to attend university, their verbal skills are certainly quite impressive.

The food street outside the school stretches for about a kilometer from east to west, and it's basically all good quality food at reasonable prices.

The food street outside the school is a brutal arena where the law of the jungle prevails: survival of the fittest. Those stalls with poor taste or inflated prices were eliminated in the fierce competition over the past few years. Those that are still operating here now are the best of the best.

Both the price and the taste are far superior to those one-off stalls during tourist attractions.

After two trips, although I didn't spend much money, I ate a lot of different kinds of delicious food and satisfied my appetite.

It's just that her belly is suffering; she's already showing at such a young age.

First, I patted my round belly, then popped the last skewer of grilled gluten into my mouth. Today's ten-hour date had finally come to an end.

Just as Chen Bing was holding Shang Yunmiao's hand, weaving through the crowd and reminiscing, he suddenly remembered something.

Oh! Right, there's one more thing I haven't done.

While waiting for a ride-hailing car on the roadside, Chen Bing made a gesture as if holding a microphone and then held it to Xiao Shang's mouth.

"Question! What are we here in Wenzhou for today?"

Shang Yunmiao, who was resting peacefully with her arm linked with Chen Bing's and her head resting on his shoulder, was taken aback by this sudden remark. She paused for a moment before replying with "travel."

But thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem like a vacation at all. There were no popular tourist attractions, no local delicacies, no overnight stays, and it wasn't even far from home.

But to call it just ordinary shopping doesn't quite fit. We were clearly doing more and more interesting things, especially since we'd traveled to such a far place.

What else could it be but somewhere between tourism and shopping?

Because she often went shopping with her mothers, Shang Yunmiao suddenly remembered that the two of them had come for a date.

She replied smugly, "We're here on a date!"

“That’s right.” Chen Bing nodded happily, and then seriously explained to the girl what a proper date would involve.

Needless to say, kisses upon meeting and parting will be provided by Xiao Shang herself later. Presumably, Shang Yunmiao, who is already quite adept at this kissing routine, will not refuse.

Then, there are some more advanced dating techniques, such as using a lap pillow.

Yes, Chen Bing remembered. This morning, when he saw Xiao Chen and his wife being affectionate, he had thought about trying Xiao Shang's lap pillow during their date. Now that they were about to go home, he had to quickly...promote it!

On the other side, Shang Yunmiao blushed slightly after listening to Chen Bing's "little tips" about dating.

Facing Chen Bing's persistent stare and expectant, mischievous smile, she freed one hand to smooth a strand of hair at her temple, then naturally yet unnaturally stood on tiptoe and explained the usual procedures for ending a date.

Even though she had cooperated so much, Chen Bing was still not satisfied.

"That was the kiss at the end, but what about the one at the beginning? Didn't we miss it when we met this morning? So, should we make up for it?"

Hmm... since you've put it that way, then fine.

After obediently giving Chen Bing her morning treat, Shang Yunmiao blushed and lowered her head, quietly savoring the taste of the meal.

However, Chen Bing, who was taking advantage of her, wasn't going to let her off so easily. Shamelessly, he excitedly exclaimed, "And another thing, when are you going to get a lap pillow?"

"How do you use a lap pillow?"

The naive and clueless Shang Yunmiao didn't know much about this, so she asked the knowledgeable Chen Bing for advice.

Love guru Chen Bing generously shared her advice, enthusiastically explaining, "It's very simple. It's just that you, being gentle and considerate, saw how hard I've worked all day, so you sat down and invited me to lie down and rest on your lap as a pillow."

It sounded quite proper, but after thinking about it carefully, Shang Yunmiao suddenly realized that resting her head on her lap... wasn't that a bit too much...?

Besides, I've been walking around all day, and I've probably sweated a lot. If I get that close, won't I smell something strange?

Thinking about all this, Xiao Shang refused, because these ideas were still a bit too advanced for her as a child.

Upon hearing Shang Yunmiao's refusal, Chen Bing was furious. He had been longing for her to rest his head on his lap all day, eagerly anticipating the moment. How could he allow Shang Yunmiao to reject him so easily?

So, the boy pretended to be very disappointed and pitiful, attempting to kidnap Xiao Shang in this way. He knew that Shang Yunmiao, being a kind-hearted little angel, would definitely not be able to bear seeing him like this.

As expected, Xiao Shang was moved and quickly turned that emotion into action.

After carefully considering her two reasons for rejecting Chen Bing, she decided to discard the first reason—her reluctance due to shame—and give way to the second reason.

"Well... okay, that's fine, but could we wait until tomorrow, or tonight after we get back?"
