Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 122: What a coincidence?

Since that day, Wan Chu’er hadn’t seen Jiang Kechu again, as if Mai Qiqi and Jiang Xiaoxiao had also vanished and never came to find her.

An Gang also started working again, and suddenly, her world returned to solitude.

Every morning, she exercised, and during the day, if she wasn’t at home reading books or writing programs, she would go out to browse bookstores. Her days were fulfilling but monotonous.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth of the lunar month, and after the fifteenth, she would have to report to school for the new term.

In the afternoon, Ge Erdan brought a small lantern to Wan Chu’er.

"Sister Chu’er, this is a little lantern I made. I picked the best-looking one for you." Ge Erdan, blushing, offered his lantern with enthusiasm.

How thoughtful of this little guy to still remember me, Wan Chu’er thought. She wrapped a red envelope for him with 20 yuan inside.

"Hmm, the lantern is well made. Another year has passed, and you’re much stronger than last year. Continue to exercise well this year, you must grow even stronger. Sister likes strong boys the best."

Wan Chu’er encouraged him.

Ge Erdan felt a bit embarrassed but still nodded with a flushed face and said softly, "I will definitely become stronger."

Wan Chu’er casually asked him if he had eaten any yuanxiao yet.

"My mom and dad are taking me out to see the lanterns tonight, and we’ll eat yuanxiao outside." Ge Erdan explained sincerely and earnestly invited Wan Chu’er to join them to see the lanterns.

"Sister Chu’er, there are a lot of lanterns tonight, and plenty of delicious food; you should come too, it’s very lively."

Wan Chu’er pursed her lips and teased him, saying, "Lanterns are for kids to see; sister has to stay home and study to earn big money in the future."

Ge Erdan blinked, deeply provoked, and when he got home, he firmly refused to go out to see the lanterns. He took out his winter homework and put on a serious face, ready to study.

The Ge Family was stunned by his demeanor. Mr. Ge pondered for a while and figured Wan Chu’er must have said something to him, as Erdan listens to Wan Chu’er the most now.

Speaking of which, after Wan Chu’er sent Ge Erdan off, she looked at the childish lantern on the table and felt an itch of curiosity.

She remembered a rare moment in her previous life when Jiang Kechu had time, and she didn’t act up for once. The two of them went out to see lanterns together.

Beneath the night sky, the street lamps, lanterns, and neon lights shone brilliantly; the crowds were like tides, mixed with various games and all kinds of snacks, it was extremely lively.

By seven in the evening, Wan Chu’er had packed a bag, dressed up, and headed for the lantern festival in her memory.

There were already people everywhere outside, with neon lights flashing and a lively atmosphere pouring through.

Wan Chu’er squeezed onto the crowded bus and, after a dozen stops, reached the destination.

She quickly merged into the lantern area with the crowd, and everywhere she looked there were multicolored lanterns.

In addition to the beautiful lanterns, there were naturally various amusement activities and delicious snacks.

Wan Chu’er looked around with interest, here and there, and for a moment, she felt very pleased in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

As she walked, she saw two familiar faces in the crowd.

Wei Feng and Chen Xiran.

Wei Feng was wearing a red coat, a white hat on her head, and talking joyfully with Chen Xiran.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiran looked affectionately at Wei Feng.

What a perfect couple!

It seemed these two were already together.

Watching lanterns, an activity best suited for couples, how could they miss out?

Wan Chu’er turned her gaze away coldly and continued walking forward.

But her curious heart was inevitably affected, losing the pure joy from moments ago.

She wandered aimlessly, and suddenly, someone lightly tugged at her clothes.

Turning her head, she saw Chen Xiran holding her scarf with one hand, smiling politely, "Your scarf fell."

Wan Chu’er touched her neck and indeed found it bare.

What a coincidence, picked up by him.

She reached out to take the scarf, murmuring, "Thank you."

"You’re welcome. There are too many people here, it’s easy to lose things." Chen Xiran said courteously, his tone gentle, showing his good upbringing.

Wan Chu’er nodded and turned to leave.

"Oh," Chen Xiran suddenly recognized her, smiling, "We’ve met at the first university campus, you’re Mai Qiqi’s classmate."

Ha, what a good memory.

Wan Chu’er smiled faintly and reminded him, "Your girlfriend might be worried."

Chen Xiran turned to glance at Wei Feng, who was admiring the lanterns, and said with a warm smile, "You seem a bit unhappy, I’ll give you a lantern. I happen to have two."

Then he handed one of the lanterns to Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er had no choice but to take it. Chen Xiran then turned back to walk towards Wei Feng, calling back, "Hope you feel a bit happier."

What on earth is happening?

Wan Chu’er stood there stunned, looking at the small rabbit lantern that had been forcibly given to her, a bit at a loss.

Could it be that Chen Xiran is a naive good guy?

She looked up again, just in time to see Chen Xiran with his arm around Wei Feng walking away, disappearing into the crowd, Wei Feng holding a small cute lantern.

Wan Chu’er withdrew her gaze, lifted the small rabbit lantern, and thought to herself that life truly is a soap opera!

What should she do with this lantern? She felt it was a nuisance in her hands and needed to get rid of it promptly.

She looked around, trying to find a place for this lantern.

Suddenly her hand was both firm and empty, she quickly turned her head, and the lantern was gone.

Blinking, Wan Chu’er looked up to see Jiang Kechu appearing in her sight.

Jiang Kechu, with an unpleasant expression, holding the small rabbit lantern, walked a few steps to the nearby trash can and tossed the lantern into the garbage without hesitation.

Such a coincidence?

Damn heavens, are you kidding me!

Taking advantage of Jiang Kechu not yet approaching, Wan Chu’er turned and burrowed into the crowd.

After turning seven and eight times, she looked back, not being followed, and let out a long breath.

However, that breath was only half released and got stuck when Jiang Kechu’s poker face blocked her path.

"Uh...cough cough cough..." Wan Chu’er began to hiccup from the shock.

Wan Chu’er forced out a fake smile and said, "Uncle Jiang, uh, what a coincidence, uh, you’re here to see the lanterns too."

Jiang Kechu looked at her without speaking, reached out to pat her back, but Wan Chu’er dodged away.

"Well, uh, you go ahead, uh, I’ve seen enough, uh, I should head home." She finished, turned to leave but couldn’t take a step.

Jiang Kechu had grabbed the back of her clothes.

Wan Chu’er had to stop and turn around, seriously asking, "Uncle Jiang, uh, do you have anything else to say? Uh..."

Jiang Kechu said, "Don’t just accept things from others, they’re not clean."

"Oh."

Wan Chu’er obediently responded, damn it, is Jiang Kechu actually showing his jealousy publicly?

"If you want a lantern, I can give you one."

"No need!" Wan Chu’er immediately said, "I don’t want a lantern."

Who wants a lantern? If someone wants it, let them have it, but I’m not interested!

Then she saw Jiang Kechu’s face darken.
