My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 2 is still too demanding in terms of skill.

"what?"

I really like a quote from Zhou Heming.

He stared blankly at the smiling girl in front of him. Her words just now seemed to have some kind of magic, making Yin Fu jump for joy.

At this moment, the illusory, otherworldly feeling emanating from the girl vanished, and she stood truly before Zhou Heming. He could even see a hint of smug satisfaction in her eyes, as if she had succeeded in her prank.

"No, you recognize me?"

Compared to things like rebirth, the school beauty recognizing herself is obviously more sci-fi.

"You are Zhou Heming."

Cheng Shuangjiang raised her left hand, counting each of her slender, fair fingers, which were covered in scars.

“Student of Class 7, your score in this monthly exam is 510. Your family is in debt, so you are working part-time at your uncle’s funeral company to prepare for the college entrance exam and find a job at a local university as soon as possible to pay off the debt.”

"The monthly exam was just finished the day before yesterday, and the scores are already out?"

Zhou Heming blurted out the question.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

The school beauty, whom I remembered as aloof and taciturn, someone who kept strangers at a distance, continued reciting the names of dishes to the boy in front of her.

"Your favorite movie is The Lord of the Rings. You've watched the trilogy every summer since elementary school."

"Your favorite book is The Stars of Humanity, your favorite chapter is 'One Night of Genius,' your favorite novel is 'Golden Slumber,' and your most memorable scene is the fireworks at the end."

"Your favorite manga is Bakuman, but your creative motto is 'to add a touch of fantasy to the story,' which is the motto of Sayonara Eri."

“You like a wide variety of songs, but for a long time you really liked the music of the group Sound Horizon, and you listened to it until you were thirty-five.”

"Your favorite animation is '5 Centimeters Per Second,' and your life's dream is to roast a skewer of marshmallows by a campfire at the end of the universe."

"Please, stop reading it, stop reading it."

Zhou Heming immediately pulled out a three-bedroom apartment in Jiangcheng and hurriedly raised his hand to stop her from continuing. Who could bear such public humiliation?

Besides, how did she know something that even her few friends didn't quite understand?

"These are all things you told me, in the future."

The girl's answer made him feel as if he had become a Trisolaran with transparent thoughts.

"Therefore, the idea of ​​rebirth is simply impossible..."

"I'm sorry, I only met you once when you were eighteen, so we're not very familiar. So, you're not old enough to believe in rebirth yet?"

"I wouldn't believe in rebirth at any age."

"You'll be able to do it by age thirty-five."

Cheng Shuangjiang blurted out a very precise number, pursed her lips, and then spoke.

"Actually, I was reborn at the age of thirty-five. At that time, we were already married, you and me."

"?"

Zhou Heming dared not move.

"In my timeline, you went to an ordinary university and spent several years living a busy and hectic life. We met again when you were thirty. With my support, you started writing screenplays, made a few decent films, paid off most of your debts, and even won an award. Just when your life was about to take a turn for the better..."

Cheng Shuangjiang stared at a non-existent point in the void and said in a low voice with a sigh.

"You were in a car accident and tragically passed away. Overwhelmed with grief, I woke up to find myself back at seventeen, back to today."

So, you've come to see me now because you want to...

"I want to see what kind of person you are at eighteen, and what kind of life you are living."

"……How does it feel?"

"Giving in to reality, living a busy life, and escaping the future is a bit disappointing."

She pursed her lips and spoke frankly.

"but."

The girl changed the subject.

“Even so, you still clumsily reached out to help me when I showed suicidal tendencies. In that respect, you haven’t changed at all from eighteen to thirty-five.”

“Thank you?”

"So, I've decided to make up for your regret~"

"what?"

Zhou Heming mentioned the annual barrage of comments quite a few times, but he genuinely didn't know where the "so" came from.

"You regretted spending a muddled and gray youth, you regretted that your once inseparable best friends parted ways, you regretted that because of your personality you sat idly by and witnessed many injustices, missed many beautiful things, and let down many kind people."

Immediately, with unwavering decisiveness, Cheng Shuangjiang raised her left index finger.

"Your first regret is that you didn't get the chance to take the targeted exam, which caused you to miss out on your dream university and major. In the end, you took a long detour before finding what you really wanted to do."

"But Ningjiang University isn't that easy."

"I haven't even said it's Ningjiang University yet~"

The girl's laughter was clear and crisp.

"."

Cheng Shuangjiang, the wall-faced one, had Zhou Heming completely under her thumb. "Ningjiang University's Drama and Film Literature major is ranked first in the country. Last year, the normal admission score was 651. However, if you can participate in the targeted examination and successfully obtain the qualification, the admission score can be reduced by 60 points. I don't need to explain what a 60-point difference means in the college entrance examination."

“In my timeline, the prototype for your first hit script was actually written when you were eighteen, but it wasn’t discovered until you were thirty. If you could have entered a related major and gained access to industry resources earlier, the future would have been completely different.”

"With your abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for you to pay off your family's debts ten years ago. You could realize your dreams and make money at the same time. Don't you have any ideas?"

Faced with the girl's familiar words, even though he didn't quite believe in the idea of ​​rebirth, Zhou Heming couldn't help but consider what she was saying.

Because this was indeed something he had dreamed of during his junior high school years.

only--

"This is too difficult for me."

He sighed in response to the girl's sincere words.

"As you know, my family is in a lot of debt, and I earn my living expenses and tuition by working here. I don't have that much time to study, and I'm not as smart as you. Besides, the targeted exam requires a school recommendation to register, and my score is far from high enough."

"Zhou Heming".

"To!"

When suddenly called by his full name, Zhou Heming instinctively straightened up and stepped forward.

"I was reborn here with great difficulty, not to listen to your excuses. I just want one answer."

Cheng Shuangjiang seemed to smash all these problems to pieces with a 100-ton sledgehammer. Amidst the flying debris of reality, the girl stood before the boy, asking only this question.

Do you want to go?

Zhou Heming felt his ears burning and his heart pounding as she stared at him in her bright eyes. It was an answer he knew all along, yet it took him three years to finally utter it.

".think."

"Then let's go!"

The girl said proudly, and she reached out her left hand to gently smooth out the wrinkles on Zhou Heming's collar.

“Zhou Heming, you are eighteen years old. At this age, the whole world belongs to you. Don’t have so many worries, and you don’t need to weigh anything. You just need to remember that you are invincible, omnipotent, and can do anything.”

A warm and soft touch came through his clothes, accompanied by words that made the all-powerful boy blush and look away.

Since you've said that, it's truly remarkable that such a young person can handle it.

"It's actually very simple~"

Cheng Shuangjiang smiled gently.

"As long as you improve your score by 80 points in the next monthly exam, getting a recommendation from the school won't be a problem. As for the subsequent interview and written test, I also have a plan."

It's very simple.

After regaining his senses, Zhou Heming realized that one of them, Cheng Shuangjiang, must have a problem with their understanding of "simplicity."

I'm sweating a bit.

"This is still too demanding in terms of operation. Is there an easier way?"

"Yes, classmate, yes! If you write a narrative essay for your next monthly exam that will make the examiner's heart skip a beat, you only need to improve your score by fifty points!"

Cheng Shuangjiang picked up where he left off without hesitation.

Zhou Heming was speechless.

Cheng Shuangjiang, you think too highly of me.

"Don't worry, even though I've been reborn, I still have the memories and mind of Cheng Shuangjiang at seventeen. I'll tutor you hard from now on. There's still a month until the next monthly exam, let's work hard together."

As if sensing his unease, the girl spoke confidently.

"In my timeline, you didn't study at all when you weren't in class and still managed to get into an average university. As long as you're willing to spend the time, improving your score by 80 points is a piece of cake."

It's a piece of cake, they say.

"But is it possible that I really don't have much time left?"

Zhou Heming didn't discuss the topic of rebirth with her; he just scratched his head.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is harsh. Just as Cheng Shuangjiang was telling her about her rebirth, the work at the funeral home had to continue.

In the distance, a man in a shirt and black suit spotted them and strode over.

"Look, that's my uncle. As I mentioned earlier, there's a eulogy to discuss later. I have to come in person because the client is quite difficult. He's revised it several times and still isn't satisfied. It'll probably take a while."

"Oh~"

Cheng Shuangjiang responded, then revealed a sly smile, as if she were plotting something.

"Ah He, that old man Geng from last time is here again. Can you handle him? Don't make it take another two or three hours, okay?"

Zhou Jianjun, from Wangshengtang Funeral Company, had just walked near his nephew when he spotted this strikingly beautiful girl with a cast on her right hand.

"Uncle Zhou, hello, I am Cheng Shuangjiang."

The girl didn't hesitate; instead, she greeted Zhou Jianjun generously with an impeccable smile.

"She's Ahe's girlfriend~"

　By the way, the targeted exam can be understood as a combination of independent enrollment and directing exam. Since the author participated in this a long time ago, I wrote it based on my memory. Just consider it a setting!
