Age of Legends

Chapter 4: Qingmei's disappearance
Shen Nuo was very generous during their overall interaction that day, and after a few interactions, the two sides became familiar with each other.

So that's how I spent my entire teenage years.

How do you feel when you first see the goddess you loved when you were a teenager?
Zhang Chen has even thought of what to name his child.

Ha, just kidding.

I did like Shen Nuoyi back then, but I also knew my limitations.

Is he better at basketball than the guy nicknamed "Jacky Cheung" on the school team? Is he as fluent and elegant as the "Piano Prince" in Class 7 at the art performance? Is he faster at doing physics papers than the guy behind her who later got admitted to the University of Aviation?

Yes, none of them are as good as this.

These people became cannon fodder, some were like a straight ball hitting the wall and shattered to pieces, some were rejected and became the figures that many people remembered many years later. Some became the regrets of sending love letters to college students.

But these are not Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen takes the enemy route, which is a bit like the ridiculous mentality of a teenager. I want to get close to you, but I can't express it like an ordinary person. I just want to annoy you and make myself stand out.

I remember when I was in high school, I saw the list of names posted saying that I was in the same class as her. I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. At one point I thought that my chance had come.

Their relationship was normal at first, but at some point, it suddenly became cold. Even after graduating from high school, the two did not even sign each other's yearbook and just disappeared from each other's lives.

Zhang Chen has never figured out the reason. Perhaps the problem lies in this self-defeating "route". What a shame. He even disrupted someone else's birthday party the day before yesterday.

Sometimes when you provoke her, she is still tolerant, and will laugh and cry, and shout in a clear voice, "Zhang Chen, you are not grown up yet!"

Shen Nuoyi probably classified him as a "friend who has not grown up". It's okay occasionally, but if it keeps on like this, maybe at some point, he would touch the other person's bottom line and stop communicating with him.

Oh, a self-righteous way to pick up girls by taking a roundabout way to save the country. Is it funny or not?

Thinking of the way she rolled her eyes at him just now, Zhang Chen became more certain of his guess.

I don’t know if the relationship changed after this time.

Will it be the same this time?

……

"Zhang Chen has really made progress. I thought he would be more low-key today! After all, I just told her mother the day before yesterday about him messing around in your house. I heard that he was beaten up when he got home. Haha, I avenged you!" Zheng Xue turned around and said to Shen Nuo.

"Beaten by his mother?" Shen Nuo was stunned. "He is so old, his mother still beats him?"

Although she was quite annoyed that Zhang Chen had infected her computer with a virus and damaged her things, Shen Nuo put these things aside for the time being when she heard that Zheng Xue had complained and Zhang Chen was beaten.

"His mother is really good," Zheng Xue said again, "but she definitely doesn't beat him with fists or kicks. She usually uses a clothes hanger to symbolically hit him a few times. Sometimes you can see him running out the door. Don't say anything, his mother must have used the clothes hanger again!"

Shen Nuo blinked, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene.

"What do you think? Why are you suing his mother?"

But when Shen Nuo thought about how he had just given him a hateful look, he actually felt a little guilty.

"I'm not thinking about helping you vent your anger!"

"No need." Shen Nuo said in a somewhat cold voice.

"Hey, are you angry? Don't be angry! I'm doing this for you... Okay, I won't say it next time." Zheng Xue quickly stuck out her tongue. In fact, she was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. On the one hand, she stood up for Shen Nuo, and on the other hand, she actually wanted to see Zhang Chen get humiliated. But what she said was all about defending Shen Nuo. She also knew that she was probably seen through by her, so she softened her tone.

Shen Nuo turned around and went straight to his homework, leaving Zheng Xue sitting in her seat in embarrassment.

Zhang Chen finally figured out his situation during one day of class.

It was January 2000, 1, just an ordinary Monday.

Zhang Chen originally thought that this was just another ordinary day since his rebirth. However, in the next English class, he made another joke.

The English teacher handed out the test papers in class and first read out a few high scores to praise them, including Tian Jiayi, Li Runjia, Peng Xin, and Shen Nuoyi. When these high scores were read out, the classmates in the class exclaimed "Wow!" as usual.

Li Runjia is the top student in his class and one of the best in the grade. He is basically a candidate for admission to Peking University or Tsinghua University. His English score is also the highest at 146.

Peng Xin is a talented man with a strong gift for languages. He is excellent in both Chinese and English. His composition has even been featured in a model essay magazine. He scored 145 in English.

Tian Jiayi scored 140 in English. She was soft and pretty, wore a pair of glasses, and seemed to come from a scholarly family. After she went on stage to get her English test paper, she heard that Shen Nuoyi scored 139 in English and followed her to the stage amid the regrets of the whole class. She felt a little proud in her heart.

In fact, she secretly competed with Shen Nuoyi. In terms of appearance, she was indeed not as good as Shen Nuoyi, but she also felt that she had her own advantages. She could follow the graceful Li Qingzhao route. Isn't it her own uniqueness to defeat a woman like Shen Nuoyi with gentleness and elegance? Seventeen-year-old Tian Jiayi thought so in the years of Cha Cha.

Shen Nuoyi was indeed a little disappointed. After all, she could see the expression of Tian Jiayi clearly, and there was actually a hint of competition between the two girls in the class. This could be seen from the regrets of the whole class when they heard that she was only one point behind Tian Jiayi.

Even the English teacher shook her head slightly, which made Shen Nuo feel even heavier. He thought to himself that he must beat Tian Jiayi in the exam next time so that she could also experience the same sense of loss.

The excitement here didn't last long. The English teacher handed out the test papers of the top ten students, and his face changed. "The results were generally average this time. There are less than 20 days left until the final exam, students! Some of you failed miserably except for a few people, while some were just fine. I have summarized them one by one. I also want to say that there are still two King Kongs in our class, the last one and the second one! Come, come up and get your test papers. The second to last one is Wang Shuowei! The last one is Zhang Chen! I think you two will drag our class down in this final exam!"

Zhang Chen was caught off guard.

Then I saw Wang Shuowei stood up with an embarrassed look.

The two of them went up to the stage one after another, took the test papers from the English teacher Qin Guimei, who looked disgusted, and walked off the stage.

Amid the laughter and jeers from the people around him, Wang Shuowei nodded and sneered in all directions as if he had been conferred an honor.

It seemed like he was telling the whole class.

I.

Correct.

Fool.

What an honor!

If it were me back then, wouldn’t I have greeted everyone’s gazes with a smile like Wang Shuowei?

Now, Zhang Chen just wanted to cover his head and bury it, especially when he saw Wang Shuowei's look, he felt even more regretful.

What’s more, I’m the last one!

I am reborn.

But this future...

Endless darkness.
