Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!
Chapter 288 - Chapter 288 Chapter 237 Sensible Woman

Chapter 288: Chapter 237 Sensible Woman Chapter 288: Chapter 237 Sensible Woman This night, Chen Jieyu wasn’t sure at what time she fell asleep.

In the darkness, under the dim light of the bedside lamp, she always looked at Cheng Zhu’s sleeping face, tempted to reach out and touch his cheek, but afraid of disturbing his sleep.

As time passed, she found herself increasingly reluctant to leave this small B&B.

It made her feel like a refuge from the world.

It wasn’t until deep into the night that she finally drifted off to sleep.

She slept deeply, but woke up quite early.

Cheng Zhu, on the other hand, who tended to wake up early, seemed able to sleep in this night.

The human body needs rest, and what’s lost must be regained during sleep.

Do you know about “From now on, the king does not hold early court”?

By the time Cheng Zhu leisurely woke up in the B&B’s large bed, it was already eleven in the morning.

He removed his eye mask, looked to his side, and noticed that Chen Jieyu was already up, not lying in bed.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and surveyed the room.

This urban, sophisticated woman, already dressed in a white blouse and a skirt, emerged from the bathroom and asked him, “Awake?”

“Yep,” Cheng Zhu nodded.

He looked at Chen Jieyu’s face, her makeup already perfectly applied.

It reminded him of a famous wife in Japan who would quietly remove her makeup only after her husband had fallen asleep, and always had her exquisite makeup done by the time he woke up, year after year.

Chen Jieyu wouldn’t go to such an extreme, as he had actually seen her without makeup last night.

However, given the opportunity, she always tried to maintain herself at her best.

When Cheng Zhu was surveying the room looking for her earlier, he found that she had already packed her luggage into her suitcase.

Even the clothes Cheng Zhu had worn yesterday were neatly folded and placed on the blue coffee table they tested yesterday.

He hadn’t brought many things, but she had carefully packed everything; Cheng Zhu would just throw them into his backpack later.

Getting out of bed, he noticed his slippers had been neatly placed by the bed.

Due to some special reasons last night, these slippers had been kicked off, strewn about haphazardly.

Entering the bathroom, he found his electric toothbrush, facial cleanser, razor, and other items neatly arranged beside the organizer, ready to be packed away after use.

Cheng Zhu picked up his face wash and was mildly surprised.

Most guys’ face wash tubes aren’t particularly clean on the outside because they are placed by the sink and easily splashed with water during use.

But now, this tube of face wash was spotlessly clean.

It seems the resident assistant had cleaned them while tidying up.

While brushing his teeth, Cheng Zhu fell into reminiscence.

Had he encountered such a woman before?

Of course, he had.

He even met one who would squeeze the toothpaste onto the toothbrush for you, putting it in the cup, ready for use.

However, after being together for a while, that woman changed her behavior.

Sometimes, people tend to overexert themselves in displaying their qualities at the beginning, showing traits they don’t really possess, which ultimately only creates disappointment, and that’s not a good thing.

But with Chen Jieyu, Cheng Zhu didn’t feel it was pretentious.

It related to a person’s character and their upbringing.

After a quick wash, Cheng Zhu packed all the items in the bathroom into the organizer.

With her help sorting things out, there was no need to worry about forgetting anything.

“What time did you wake up?” Cheng Zhu asked.

“Two hours before you, but I stayed in bed for quite a while,” Chen Jieyu honestly replied.

“Huh? What were you doing while staying in bed?” he asked with a smile.

Chen Jieyu ignored him.

Actually, she hadn’t done anything; she just lay beside him, feeling the last bits of tranquility and reassurance.

At that moment, Cheng Zhu’s clothes for the day were already hanging on the rack.

He took down his jeans and loose sweatshirt to wear, ready to take her downstairs to check out.

“Let’s have lunch in town,” Cheng Zhu suggested.

The noodles they ate the previous noon were mediocre.

Perhaps because his mind wasn’t really on the food, only thinking about something else.

“Sure, you decide,” Chen Jieyu didn’t mind, she was fine with anything.

After leaving the room, they walked along the B&B’s long corridor, Cheng Zhu pulling her suitcase while balancing his backpack on top.

Her luggage was a Rimowa lookalike. Wanzhou had once gifted Cheng Zhu a real Rimowa suitcase, same design but different color.

However, after the brand became popular, most suitcases on the street looked like it. Some people who bought it might not even realize their suitcase was a knockoff of a high-end brand.

On the corridor, Chen Jieyu was half a step behind Cheng Zhu.

He suddenly stopped walking, extended his free hand, and asked, “Not holding hands?”

This was not a time for her reply, but a way to tell her, “I want to hold hands.”

Cheng Zhu naturally took her hand.

Although they uzhe zad done “>the most intimate act, walking hand-in-hand still felt different.

One was everyday intimacy, another was everyday intimacy, both different.

Chen Jieyu’s heart started to race, something blossoming within her.

She once again felt a deep, lucid submersion.

…

…

When they checked out, the B&B owner was bewildered.

Seeing the noodles requested by Cheng Zhu and some other details, he speculated that this young man staying an extra day at his B&B certainly wasn’t alone.

Ah, young people know how to play–students have all returned from the autumn trip, yet you secretly keep a female student with you overnight.

Youth is wonderful, indeed.

This B&B owner, only in his early thirties, was actually quite trendy to have thought about running a B&B since 2014.

He reminisced about his own past.

Back in my university days, I had three girlfriends during the four years!

Looking back, he always thought: College life was great!

He noticed this college student drove a Mercedes to the autumn outing.

But he was inside the store at that time, not outside, and had not seen Cheng Zhu and Chen Jieyu get out of the car together.

Not until the bus departed and he extended his stay did the owner confirm the Mercedes was his vehicle.

“Driving a Mercedes to university, you must be popular with the ladies,” he thought.

“He looks pretty handsome too.”

“But I wasn’t bad myself back then, even without a car, I still dated quite a few girls.”

He felt he had his own capabilities back then, quite appealing to the girls!

Until…he saw who Cheng Zhu was holding hands with!

Men notice beautiful women, don’t they?

When the B&B owner first took the booking and saw dozens of students entering the lobby, he felt pity for the gender ratio in this class; also, the girls weren’t very attractive, nothing special.

Then he saw a beautiful, slightly stern-looking female counselor with glasses enter, and her beauty was striking, noticeable at first glance.

Even if the girls in the class were more youthful, standing next to the counselor, all attention would still turn to her.

The B&B owner joked internally, “If she were a class teacher, boys probably wouldn’t skip her classes. Some might even sneak into her lectures without being enrolled.”

But he never imagined, this stunning woman who moved him emotionally was the same person staying an extra day with this young man!

His prior self-satisfaction vanished completely.

Damn it, who spends their university days like this?

Running a B&B, he had seen many kinds of people as most come here for a room–saying he had encountered all sorts of people.

But today, he was especially shocked.

The psychological thrill from their status difference is something men understand.

And to top it off, the counselor was so pretty and well-formed.

Damn it, they told you to go to university, what are you doing?

–Damn, he really deserved it!

Regretting giving him a discount during yesterday’s extension, he processed the checkout.

Outside, although it was still cloudy, it wasn’t raining.

Cheng Zhu loaded the suitcase into the Mercedes SUV, then drove away with Chen Jieyu.

Luxury cars always offer a different kind of spectacle.

This Mercedes SUV, owned by Wanzhou, usually had… oh, Cheng Zhu as the passenger.

Today was a bit more befitting the Mercedes SUV’s image!

“I wonder if Little President Jiang has gotten used to riding my electric scooter,” Cheng Zhu mused.

Driving along, they ultimately chose an upscale dim sum restaurant for brunch.

For Chen Jieyu, it was a place she’d feel heartache paying for on a normal day.

But for Cheng Zhu, it was naturally effortless.

After all, the money spent on this meal was probably earned back by him during the brief time it took to place the order.

After eating, Cheng Zhu turned towards her, “Do you have to be back at school today, or is it urgent?”

“There’s nothing pressing,” she replied.

Naturally, she wanted to spend more time with Cheng Zhu.

“Then I have an issue at my tea shop, but it won’t take long to handle. Since it’s on the way from here, shall I stop by Star City first?” he suggested.

The counselor nodded, “Okay.”

After the car entered Star City’s underground parking, Cheng Zhu said to her, “Wait for me in the car, it’s not good air at the construction site, I’ll be right down.”

“Okay.”

After getting out, Cheng Zhu stepped into the elevator, slightly twisting his waist and stretching his body.

“Feels like the teacher has punished me,” he facetiously thought to himself.

In reality, needing to personally confirm some things regarding the tea shop’s renovation was one reason for his visit to Star City.

But there was another task he needed to handle.

Before attending to these tasks, following his usual routine, he first walked into the Starbucks across from his tea shop and bought two cups of coffee.

Meanwhile, Chen Jieyu, sitting in the car, reopened Baidu to search whether… she should take the medicine?
