I Don't Want To Reincarnate
Translator:Â 549690339
Xiao rongyu came out of the dormitory, carrying a pink mini satchel on her shoulder. However, her melon-shaped face was filled with loneliness. After seeing Xiao Hongwei, she only called out softly, ââDaddy.â
âDaughter, are you in a bad mood?â old Xiao asked, not understanding what had happened.
Xiao Yu âer shook her head, opened the door to the passengerâs seat, and got in without a word.
At this moment, a beam of light shone from behind, and a car honked. Xiao rongyuâs eyes lit up, and her curved eyebrows twitched. She turned around expectantly.
However, when she realized that it was only a school bus, her flawless face was filled with disappointment.
Old Xiaoâs heart ached when he saw the obvious transition between joy and disappointment.
âWhatâs wrong, my daughter?â
Old Xiao asked again. He even reached out and touched Xiao Yu âerâs forehead. Now that winter and spring had changed, it was easy to catch a cold. However, his daughter did not have a fever.
Xiao rongyu didnât say anything. She leaned to the side and curled up in the passenger seat. However, every time there was a honking sound from the back, she would take a second look, and then continue to be disappointed.
This state of mind continued until they reached the jiangang Expressway. Xiaoyu was still looking at the brightly lit jiangang city with reluctance.
Xiao rongyu only gave simple answers to old Xiaoâs nagging and consoling along the way, until he asked unconsciously, â when will hansheng return to Hong Kong? itâs the 16th.
Xiao rongyuâs attention was now focused.
âHeâs been busy recently.â
Xiao Yu âer glanced at old Xiao and said hesitantly, â dad, this birthday doesnât mean much. It just reminds me that Iâm one year older. I donât want to celebrate it at all.
how is it meaningless? the 20th birthday is a major event in oneâs life. The ancient people have to hold a crown ceremony at this age to show that theyâre an adult â¦
Xiao Hongwei explained, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.âWerenât you looking forward to your 20th birthday during the spring Festival?â
âSince everyoneâs busy, thereâs no need to attend. Donât think itâs important.â
Little Yu âer was a little angry.
Alright, alright. Itâs not important. Daddy apologizes. Daddy said the wrong thing.
Old Xiao, the â daughter slave â, immediately admitted defeat. Although he was the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau in Harbor City and in charge of criminal investigation, he had no principles in front of his daughter.
âActually, itâs just a few tables set up by relatives and some of mom and dadâs colleagues. In the past, when other peopleâs children were over 20 years old, we gave out a lot of money. Weâll definitely take it back this year.â
Old Xiao deliberately made it sound more interesting, hoping to stir up his daughterâs emotions.
âOh, thatâs right,â
In the end, he chuckled and added, ââAnd your uncle Chenâs family, theyâre not outsiders.â
Xiao Yu âer did not say anything. She only hugged her calf and rested her face on her knee.
The highway outside was dark, and there were not many vehicles at night. For a long time, only the Santana was driving, empty and lonely.
Xiao rongyu suddenly felt very upset as she looked at him, and crystal tears started to roll in her eyes.
This was because she was still helping Chen hansheng to lay the groundwork so that her parents would not complain if she did not see him at the birthday party the day after tomorrow.
âXiao Chen, youâve forgotten my birthday.â
Xiao rongyuâs long eyelashes blinked, and tears quietly flowed down from the corner of her eyes.
Back at home in Harbor City, Lu Yuqing hugged and kissed her daughter, but she also noticed that Xiao rongyu did not seem happy.
âWhatâs wrong with my daughter?â
Lu Yuqing quietly asked Xiao Hongwei.
âMaybe heâs just too tired.â
Xiao Hongwei said after thinking for a while.
Lu Yuqing nodded. This could be the only reason. Otherwise, how could the usually lively little Yu âer be so negative before her birthday?
However, after taking a bath that night, little Yu âer suddenly walked in front of Lu Yuqing in her cute pajamas. âMom, I want to sleep with you tonight.â
âAh? Alright!â
Lu Yuqing was surprised at first, but he immediately agreed in surprise.
Xiao rongyu had her own bedroom since she was 10 years old. However, when she didnât do well in her exams, or when she got angry at her classmates, she would sleep with her mother.
Lu Yuqing was simply too happy. She had always been a strict mother. Because old Xiao was a kind father who â had no bottom line, â her daughterâs relationship with her father was closer. This made Lu Yuqing envious and a little sad. She also doted on her daughter a lot.
The last time Xiaoyu had taken the initiative to sleep with him was last year when Chen hansheng was quarantined. At that time, Xiaoyu had been crying while sleeping.
Suddenly, Xiao Hongwei coughed at the side. Only then did Lu Yuqing realize that this was not good news. It meant that his daughter was very upset.
âLetâs go. Mommy will bring you to sleep.â
Lu Yuqing held Xiao Yu âerâs hand as they walked into the bedroom. The two of them lay on the bed. In order to comfort his daughter, Lu Yuqing kept talking.
baby, you should know about the Oriental Hotel, right? itâs very good at playing audio and video. The place is very big, and the party will be held there.
âYes.â
Xiao rongyu was not very interested.
âDid any of your classmates come back?â
âBecause itâs not Saturday, everyoneâs busy.â
Little Yu âer said softly.
Lu Yuqing thought to himself that perhaps her daughter felt a little upset because her classmates did not come over. However, there was no other way.
grandma specially ordered a bright red festive dress. Itâs 2000 Yuan and has pearls. She especially cherished it and even said that the next time you wear it is your wedding day.
At the mention of her grandmother, Xiao Yu âer took the initiative to ask, ââHowâs grandmaâs health?â
âItâs pretty good, you can eat and sleep, and you can even dislike me.â
Lu Yuqing said with a smile.
Xiao rongyu pouted and buried her head in Lu Yuqingâs arms. Lu Yuqing caressed Xiao Yu âerâs back and muttered, â my daughter, youâre our only daughter, so you must be happy.
Hearing her motherâs warm words, Xiao rongyuâs nose felt sour. She didnât want to cry in front of her mother, so she stood up and walked to the bathroom.
The moment she locked the door, she could no longer hold back her tears and they flowed down her face.
âI understand that youâre busy and really donât have time to come back, but you should at least wish me a Happy Birthday.â
Little Yu âer looked into the mirror and whispered, ââIâll just pretend to be angry for a while. Iâll be fine as long as you coax me.â
youâre a girl. You must have a little vanity. But how can you forget, Chen pig? â
âBut Iâm not going to remind you. I donât care about your concern.â
âChen Zhu, are you sad, because you wonât be able to see the me when I was 20 years old.â
Little Yu âer, this white moonlight who liked little romance, little sweetness, and little surprises, only needed Chen hansheng to remember her birthday.
âDong Dong Dong.â
Lu Yuqingâs voice could be heard from outside the door. âDaughter, are you alright?â
âIâm fine,â she said.
Xiao rongyu turned on the tap to cover up her crying and to wash her face so that her parents would not see her tears.
When she walked out of the bathroom, Lu Yuqing was actually waiting outside. When he saw Xiao Yu âerâs Red eyes, Lu Yuqing knew that there was indeed a problem with his daughter.
Lu Yuqing held Xiaoyuâs face lovingly and sighed. I asked you but you didnât tell me. Your mother was so anxious. Youâre like me, but youâre prouder. Youâd rather be sad than bow down to me.
On the 17th, Xiao rongyu accompanied her parents to meet some relatives. She even tried on a beautiful dress for her birthday the next day.
However, even at night, Xiao rongyuâs mood was still very low. She kept turning on her phone, hoping that there would be a message that would make her happy.
In fact, the message was very short, only six words.
âHappy Birthday.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, after midnight, the phone was still dark and silent, like an emotionless brick. It was his roommate, Bian Shishi, who called.
âBaby, Happy Birthday.â
Bian Shishi was shivering in the cold,âbut itâs so cold in Harbor City â¦â
âYeah, itâs much colder in Hong Kong than jianmo,â
Xiao rongyu heard the noise and realized that there were a lot of people, â why are you suddenly talking about the weather in Harbor City? havenât you returned to your dormitory yet? â
ah? â
Bian Shishi hurriedly explained, â I was worried that you would catch a cold when you went back. Hahaha, Iâm hanging up. Good night. Weâll love you forever.
Xiao rongyu thought that the â we â was meant for the dormitory, so she didnât take it to heart. However, she didnât see the message she was looking forward to even after one o âclock.
In the end, it was Lu Yuqing who coaxed her to sleep, just like when they were young.
On the morning of the 18th, Xiao Hongwei and Lu Yuqingâs calls did not stop while the family was having dinner. For example, some relatives could not find their way, or there were problems with the hotel that needed to be communicated with.
âChief Xiao, the emcee is in place. When are you coming?â
âEmcee?â
Xiao Hongwei was stunned for a moment, thinking,âwhen did I invite a Master of Ceremony?â Lu Yuqing did not mind.âMaybe the hotel gave it to you as a gift.â
âI canât take advantage of this.â
Old Xiao took out a red packet with 200 Yuan inside. Iâll give the red packet to the emcee. I canât gossip about people after getting promoted.
