Don't think of rebirth.

Chapter 640 Rebellious Period

Although the restaurant's morning tea is served until 1 p.m., it is impossible for Gu Qinghuan to spend all his time eating.

The chat with Lucas about family was brief and brief. After all, it was their first meeting, and even with Tao Shenxing's guarantee, Gu Qinghuan didn't dare to ask too much.

So during the second half of the meal, the three of them were chatting happily about various daily topics.

For example, Tao Shenxing was very curious about how Lucas would spend the long time from now to the second half of the year if he returned to China to go to college.

Although this was of no reference value to Tao Shenxing, Lucas still explained it in detail, for example, he took the Overseas Chinese Students Entrance Examination, which required registration in March and the examination in May, and the time after that was not much different from that of domestic college entrance examination candidates.

The advantage is that the exam is less difficult and the competitive pressure is also less.

At this point, Lucas hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Mom wants you and I to apply to the same university, or to a university in the same city."

Tao Shenxing was dumbfounded: "Is it really that serious? She still expects us to compete with each other in college?"

"By the way, this is totally unnecessary. My grades aren't that great, and it would actually hold you back, right?"

Lucas said, "It doesn't matter where I go to college, but yesterday you said you wanted to set me off..."

"If people kept comparing you to me during the four years of college, you would probably feel bad, right?"

Tao Shenxing touched his chin and said, "If I didn't know, I might feel annoyed, but it would be okay if I knew it in advance?"

Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but stop: "It's not good at all."

She said to Tao Shenxing who was somewhat puzzled: "That was four years. Even if you knew that Lucas had no ill intentions, what would the people around you think?"

"Others may think that Lucas has to compete with you in everything and has a troublesome personality. They may also think that Tao Shenxing is worse than Lucas in every aspect and look down on you, and collectively exclude you when there is a group assignment."

"These impressions will spread to places you cannot predict, and the impact will become greater and greater."

Gu Qinghuan concluded: "So don't accept this kind of thing so easily, think about it carefully."

Tao Shenxing couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so complicated..."

Lucas whispered, "I know Tao Shenxing is a good man, and I don't want to embarrass him, so I want to tell my mother not to let me compete with Tao Shenxing anymore."

Gu Qinghuan felt that Lucas's statement was quite subtle. He hoped that Lu Jingying would do so, which meant that he himself could not make the decision?

Is it that he is used to obeying Lu Jingying and doesn't know how to express his own wishes, or has he tried and known the consequences of resisting Lu Jingying, so he gave up resisting?

She asked tentatively, "What are you going to say?"

Lucas had obviously thought about it in advance, and he could speak smoothly at this time: "I want to know Tao Shenxing's application major first, so that I can choose a major that is completely incomparable to his, so there is no need to compete."

"No, no!" Tao Shenxing shouted immediately, "If you choose a major you don't like, wouldn't you be exhausted for four years in college? How can I joke about your future!"

"Besides, as long as your mother wants, she can always find something to compare, such as GPA and scholarships."

Lucas fell silent, and Tao Shenxing didn't know what to say. Gu Qinghuan cleared his throat and diverted their attention: "Okay, let's not think about this for now."

"We've been eating for so long, isn't it time to change places?"

Tao Shenxing immediately perked up: "Yes, I brought you out to play today, and I have other plans! Come on, let me go pay the bill first."

After saying that, Tao Shenxing ran to pay the bill. Gu Qinghuan and Lucas also stood up and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

Lucas looked at Tao Shenxing's back and said softly, "I have always imagined it before."

"Imagine what?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

"Imagine what kind of person 'Tao Shenxing' is," said Lucas.

Xiang Ji Ri rarely talked about Tao Shenxing's situation when chatting with Lu Jingying, and she didn't like to post on WeChat Moments.

Lucas's entire understanding of Tao Shenxing is actually based on Lu Jingying's understanding of Xiang Jiri.

What kind of mother you are, what kind of child you will have - this is what Lu Jingying thinks.

However, after actually getting to know Tao Shenxing, Lucas discovered that this was not the case.

The Xiang Jiri described by Tao Shenxing and Lu Jingying is completely different. He has a very outgoing and lively personality, his thoughts are written on his face, and his emotions are extremely sincere.

Lucas could feel that when Tao Shenxing first met him, he was actually somewhat wary of him, but it was not obvious and did not reach the level of "hostility".

However, after the conversation, Tao Shenxing quickly changed his attitude and sincerely cared about him.

His kindness was so much that it made Lucas nervous.

"I'm scared. What if I hurt Tao Shenxing or disappoint him in the future?" Lucas murmured. "I want to be his friend, not his rival."

Gu Qinghuan laughed: "When you have such thoughts, you are already building a friendship with him."

Tao Shenxing came over after paying the bill and saw Gu Qinghuan smiling. He was a little curious: "What's wrong?"

Lucas was a little nervous and quickly waved his hands and said, "Nothing, nothing!"

Gu Qinghuan rarely spoiled the show: "Lucas said he wanted to be friends with you."

Lucas was extremely embarrassed. He stammered, "I'm sorry, I know this is abrupt..."

"Huh?" Tao Shenxing was shocked. "Aren't we already friends?!"

In Tao Shenxing's opinion, Lucas told him so many sincere words, which was a manifestation of trust in him, and he must live up to this trust.

Aren’t two people who trust each other friends?

This time it was Lucas who was stunned. He said stupidly, "Are we friends now? When did it happen?"

"Ah? Do you want a specific time?" Tao Shenxing racked his brains, trying to recall what happened yesterday afternoon. "Uh... around 4:30 yesterday afternoon?"

Gu Qinghuan almost laughed until she hiccuped, she quickly clapped her hands: "Okay, okay, anyway, Lucas, you want to be friends with Tao Shenxing, and Tao Shenxing agreed."

"So, you two are friends now."

Before the two confused people could come to their senses, Gu Qinghuan urged them to hurry up: "Okay, to celebrate the birth of a friendship, we should find a place to play now."

Speaking of playing, Tao Shenxing immediately came back to his senses, more anxious than Gu Qinghuan: "That's right! Let's go, I looked last night, there is a New Year's Day event nearby, there are many stalls, just right for you to experience it."

He said as he pushed Lucas out.

Gu Qinghuan followed behind the two of them, thinking about what to do next.

Although Tao Shenxing said that Lu Jingying's matter would be left to his mother, if Lucas could not express his wishes well, he might be led by Lu Jingying again.

Why not just have a belated rebellious period.
