Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1361: She Shouldn’t Have Come

“Not really?”

Jian Xing looked at Meng Shuqing with an exaggerated and incredible expression, as if her eyes were asking: Are you kidding me?

“I’m really not lying to you.”

Meng Shuqing explained the unexpected incident last night when she opened An Bai’s game. She said, “It’s clearly shown there, it’s always been God playing with me, not Bai Chen.”

“God.”

Jian Xing’s expression became indescribable upon hearing the name.

To her, An Bai was the cool, aloof male idol, but when facing Meng Shuqing, he was a gentle warm guy.

But God?

As the name suggests, he exuded a wild, cool, and handsome vibe, yet in front of Meng Shuqing, he seemed like a proud little brother. Their interactions were like a joyful rivalry, always bickering upon meeting.

This was clearly two different people than the real-life An Bai.

There must be some mistake.

Jian Xing couldn’t equate An Bai with God.

“Wasn’t God arranged to meet Dumb before? Why don’t we call him out?” Jian Xing still held onto the last bit of hope. What if someone else was using An Bai’s phone to play games?

“Maybe he’s busy at the office today?”

Meng Shuqing uncertainly said, adeptly swiping her phone to enter the game interface.

Qing Kong Wanli: Do you want to meet up?

As soon as she sent the message, she regretted it, saying, “Xingxing, do you think saying that makes it too obvious?”

“Isn’t it too direct?”

“I never agreed to meet him before, but now after looking at his phone yesterday, I’m asking to meet.”

“I really didn’t mean to look at his phone.”

Meng Shuqing regretfully thought she shouldn’t have been curious enough to look at his phone. It left her sleepless last night, dreaming of the two extremes of An Bai and God merging together.

“It’s okay, after all, it’s impossible to hide this forever?” Jian Xing didn’t think it mattered.

Since An Bai is under the alias God staying by Meng Shuqing’s side to play games, surely he won’t hide it forever either.

As the two were guessing various things, God only replied with one word: Okay.

Completely unlike his usual style.

Meng Shuqing and Jian Xing directly made a reservation at their favorite restaurant.

An Group.

In the newly purchased building, after a period of construction, An Bai’s office was completely renovated in the style he liked. Looking at the message in the game, he agreed right away.

An Bai never intended to keep the identity of God from Meng Shuqing.

Red Bean Restaurant, inheriting the style from the Red Bean Restaurant in Jing City.

Even the decor was consistent, though with slight changes making it instantly recognizable as Beiyang’s Red Bean Restaurant.

They chose a spot by the window, with a panoramic view of the city’s nightscape.

Soothing light music created a particularly nice atmosphere in the restaurant, and the food tasted first-rate.

“Did God An contact you today?” Jian Xing asked Meng Shuqing as she gazed in the direction of the entrance.

Yesterday, An Bai spent all day and night with Meng Shuqing, but there’s been no word today. Besides calling Meng Shuqing lunchtime to ask if she had her medication, he didn’t even ask about dinner.

Thinking of An Bai as God, Jian Xing felt a bit crushed. Clearly, he was supposed to be more composed and godlike, how did he become God?

Is Bai Chen really not An Bai?

Jian Xing always felt An Bai was Bai Chen because, in the game, during a previous competition, Bai Chen defended Meng Shuqing quite well.

Even though Bai Chen’s protection was subtle, anyone who had bullied Meng Shuqing was mercilessly defeated by Bai Chen, to the point they didn’t dare show their face in the game.

How could someone like that not be An Bai?

Could it be another secret admirer?

“Didn’t you hear when he called me at noon?” Meng Shuming drank a sip of warm milk, not suitable for cold food with her just recovered illness.

“Right.”

Just as Jian Xing finished speaking, she saw An Bai enter.

Today, An Bai wore a formal silver-gray suit, which added a touch of refined elegance but with a splash of color, making him appear composed and poised, yet approachable.

He had also changed to a very stylish hairstyle, making his already handsome face even more attractive.

His lips slightly curved into a smile, his eyes seemingly adorned with starlight, shining brightly.

With his tall and towering form approaching them steadily, his gaze fell on Meng Shuqing like a burning light.

“Qing Kong little sister, who bullied you? I’ll bully them back for you.” An Bai’s tone switched to the game’s God tone.

Jian Xing was astonished, mouth agape, this one phrase that included Qing Kong little sister was undoubtedly the game’s God’s trademark line.

“You.”

Meng Shuqing was too shocked to speak, her eyes fixated on An Bai, pondering many things. From knowing God for a long time, whenever troubled, she’d argue in the game, and each absurd retort from God refreshed her spirits.

Sometimes, when she was in a bad mood, God would find ways to comfort her.

Every birthday, besides An Bai’s gifts, she’d receive presents from God, not extravagant but very thoughtful.

You could say God was like an inseparable male confidant in Meng Shuqing’s heart.

One day, her male confidant would emerge as the real-life big brother?

“Why, don’t recognize me anymore?” An Bai sat next to Meng Shuqing, a slight smile on his lips, his tone was very different from usual.

“Xiao Bai, just talk like you normally do.”

Meng Shuqing slightly tugged at her lips, asking, “When did you find out about my identity? Surely not from the very start?”

After hitting off after several competitions, they argued, then every encounter would become a spat, which in turn brought them closer, because when anyone bullied Meng Shuqing in the game, God was always the first to step in.

“What do you want to eat?” An Bai spoke while directly ordering from the menu, all dishes were Meng Shuqing’s favorites.

Then he turned to Jian Xing asking, “Would you like to order anything else?”

Jian Xing: “…”

The dishes she wanted were already ordered, plus, An Bai’s selections were enough to fill a table, ordering more would just leave them on display.

The fact was, she shouldn’t have come to be such an obvious third wheel!

“Stop changing the subject, when did you know I was Qing Kong Wanli?” Meng Shuqing didn’t give him a chance to evade the question, her gaze fixated on An Bai.
