Reborn to prepare for the college entrance exam, you're letting me retire and make a comeback?

Lu Qian practically fled back to the classroom.

But as soon as he returned to the classroom, he slowed his pace, afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the afternoon nap.

After all, he was used to taking a nap at noon and hated the feeling of being woken up by others while he was sleeping.

The classroom was indeed very quiet, with most students slumped over their desks, lost in a brief slumber.

He subconsciously glanced at Zhang Liu's empty seat.

This guy has disappeared somewhere again.

His gaze then fell on the back of Qingmei Lin Shuyue, who sat at the desk in front of him.

She lay on her side, her arm as a pillow, her long, smooth hair spread across the table, her breathing even, as if she were fast asleep.

Lu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that she hadn't seen his disheveled state just now.

He quietly pulled out the chair and sat down, trying not to make a sound.

He doesn't like being disturbed during his lunch break, and naturally he doesn't want to disturb others either.

After sitting down, he casually took out the milk tea paper bag that Shen Xinyi had given him from under the table. The two cups of milk tea inside were still slightly warm.

"Ugh, milk tea again, this is getting a bit of a hassle..."

Looking at the paper bag, his gaze fell once again on the sleeping figure at the table in front of him.

Gently place one of the milk tea cups on the corner of Lin Shuyue's desk, near her arm.

After doing all this, he lay down and buried his face in his arms.

"ZZZ..."

He didn't notice that shortly after he lay down, Lin Shuyue, who was "sleeping," had her long eyelashes tremble almost imperceptibly.

The corners of her mouth, buried in her arms, quietly turned up.

The eyes hidden beneath her hair slowly opened a crack.

After confirming that Lu Qian was lying down properly, she slowly reached out and gently touched the warm milk tea with her fingertips.

She gently took the milk tea down and hid it in the "fortress" formed by her arms.

Then, I carefully inserted the straw and started taking small sips.

As the girl secretly drank, she glanced furtively at the direction where Lu Qian was lying on the back of the table, her eyes sparkling with starlight and a hint of barely perceptible smugness.

Uh, so sweet~

……

……

Lunch break slips away quietly amidst the sweet aroma of milk tea.

In the afternoon's academic classes, Lu Qian quickly adapted to the pace thanks to his adult mindset and the "focus enhancement" provided by the system, and was basically integrated into high school life.

As he listened to the lecture, he was distracted by planning his next investment. Occasionally, he would glance at Lin Shuyue's upright back at the table in front of him, and time flew by without him realizing it.

During the break between classes, Lu Qian habitually tried to prop his chin up with his hand.

As soon as I put my hand under the edge of the table, my fingertips unexpectedly touched a protrusion.

"Um?"

He looked down in confusion and saw a small, dried, yellowish piece of... booger?! stuck to the inside of the table leg!

Holy crap!

Lu Qian felt a chill run down his spine and almost jumped up on the spot.

Nima!

This is something a high school student could do!

He immediately pulled his hand away in disgust, got up, and rushed to the bathroom.

When I returned, I found that most of the people in the classroom were gone.

My deskmate, Zhang Liu, was lying on the table in a contorted position, emitting soft snores. He had clearly entered the realm of "falling asleep in three seconds".

"Hey, Rokuzoku!"

Lu Qian nudged him: "Where did everyone in the classroom go? They're all gone!"

"Hmm∽"

Zhang Liu groggily raised his head, wiping away drool with sleepy eyes.

"Of course, it's to go to Shanghai for PE class, bro."

"If you're late for the next PE class, Old Liu will make you do push-ups as punishment."

He yawned and pointed to the few remaining "holdouts" in the classroom: "Look, apart from those few top students who were too lazy to move, and a few who were faking illness, everyone else went."

"Aren't they afraid of being called out for roll call?"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's senior year, the school's more lenient, and Lao Liu turns a blind eye. Let them go if they want, but Jiangcheng No. 1 High School lets grades speak for themselves. What's a PE class anyway?"

"Oh, no wonder."

Lu Qian then remembered that there was indeed a physical education class on his schedule.

I haven't had this class in so long, I almost forgot it even existed.

In his memory, he never attended a physical education class again after he learned that he could skip it in high school.

High school students are generally lazy. If they can sit in the classroom, who would want to stand on the playground?

Of course, those who think this way might also be the ones who actively spend money to buy gym classes more than ten years from now.

It's just that people of different ages have different choices when it comes to things.

After careful consideration, he decided to go and take the class anyway.

After all, physical education class is an important source of "health points" in the system. He is a man who wants to build a perfect physique, so how can he miss it?

Moreover, he still has a task to complete: participating in the school sports meet.

We must go!

"I have to go!"

Lu Qian said decisively, pulling Zhang Liu up from his seat, "You shouldn't sleep either, come on, let's go together!"

"Huh? You're going to PE class?"

Zhang Liu looked reluctant: "Brother Qian, please spare me. You've been skipping classes for a whole semester, why do you suddenly want to go again today? The sun is so bright outside..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Qian interrupted him: "Remember, this is the last class. PE class usually ends early, which means we can go home early. Don't you want to go home and play games earlier?"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qian heard a "whoosh" sound.

The Temptation to Go Home

Which high school student who spends all day at school doesn't want to leave early?

With such a fragrant and soft bed at home, who would still be sleeping on their desk at school?

Every minute we can get back home earlier is a bonus!

Suddenly everything became clear.

Qianzi, I understand!

Holy crap!

Zhang Liu's eyes lit up instantly: "That's right, how come I didn't think of that? Okay, let's go, let's go now!"

He immediately perked up, grabbed Lu Qian's hand, and rushed outside.

What else is there to say?

Hurry up and go!

Unfortunately, despite their haste, the two were still a few minutes late when they arrived at the assembly point on the playground.

At this moment, Mr. Liu, the physical education teacher, a lean, dark-skinned middle-aged man, is standing in front of the line with a stern face.

Seeing Lu Qian and Zhang Liu running over, panting, he raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised.

"Oh? Lu Qian, Zhang Liu? These are rare guests indeed."

Teacher Liu said leisurely, "I haven't seen you two for so long, I thought you had transferred schools. Now that you're here, the rules can't be broken."

"If you're late for class, everyone do twenty push-ups. Do them now!"

"..."

The students queuing up nearby watched, and their eyes immediately turned gloating.

These two greyhounds, who don't usually have much PE class, would be completely exhausted if they did twenty push-ups.

"Ah? Teacher Liu, twenty is too many..." Zhang Liu immediately groaned with a bitter face.

Teacher Liu snorted and did not reply, clearly unmoved by his pleading.

On the other side, Lu Qian walked directly to the open space next to the team without saying a word.

Let's go for higher intensity then!

Hands on the ground, proper form.

They began to do it at a steady pace.

One, two, three...

The speed and precision of the movements made the students watching the spectacle widen their eyes.

"Holy crap? That push-up was absolutely perfect! When did Brother Qian become so amazing?"

"This speed... it feels like he could do a hundred without breaking a sweat, and twenty like it's nothing?"

"He's been hiding his true abilities. Was he faking skipping class before? He's probably been secretly practicing at home."

"..."

Teacher Liu, who was standing to the side, was also amazed by Lu Qian's actions.

Having been a teacher for so many years, I've never seen such a perfect push-up before.

It's a pity this guy is under a lot of pressure in his senior year of high school, otherwise I could have tricked him into participating in some competitions.

With the system's support, Lu Qian's physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary high school students. He easily completed twenty push-ups and stood up without even breaking a sweat.

In contrast, Zhang Liu's face turned red after only three or four attempts, his arms trembled like leaves, and his back slumped down—a classic case of "kidney deficiency," which drew good-natured laughter.

"Hey, why does this student seem even weaker than me, a menopausal old man..." Teacher Liu shook his head as he looked at him.

"Teacher, I'm done."

"Okay, then you can go back to the team first."

After finishing his task, Lu Qian dusted off his hands and calmly walked back to the group, basking in the admiring gazes of his younger brothers.

Hehe, this is a real man!

As soon as he stood still, he felt his sleeve being gently tugged.

Turning his head, he met Lin Shuyue's bright, sparkling eyes.

"Lu Qian".

Her voice was low and slightly coquettish, "I...I also want to learn to play badminton, can you teach me later?"

She tilted her head slightly, looking at him expectantly.

The girl wasn't actually interested in badminton; it was just that ever since she learned that her childhood friend had been tricked into going to teach badminton by some pretty female classmates the day before, she inexplicably wanted to learn as well.

As for why she wanted to learn so much, she didn't know the reason.

Looking at the plum blossoms, so fragrant and soft, Lu Qian was in a great mood.

He readily agreed: "Sure, no problem, I'll teach you until you learn."

He deliberately spoke a little louder.

Lin Shuyue immediately snorted and raised her chin, clearly pleased.

Lu Qian also remembered the sports meet registration and thought he would tell her about it while they were playing ball.

A moment later, Teacher Liu blew the whistle, his voice loud and clear:

"Attention everyone, let's do some warm-up exercises together: high knees in place!"

"Ready—Go! One-two-one! One-two-one!"

"..."

The warm-up exercises were over in no time.

"Dismissed. Everyone is free to do as they please. Please be careful!"

"Oh, by the way, the sports committee member should hand out the registration forms for the sports meet after class."

The group scattered with a whoosh, like ripples created by a stone thrown into a pond.

Some played ball, some went running, and many others found a shady spot, picked up their study materials, and began to bury themselves in their books.

After all, the pressure of the college entrance examination is there, and no one is in the mood to exercise.

Anyway, just do what you're supposed to do.

Lu Qian naturally didn't intend to use the rare physical education class for self-study.

He felt that one should play to one's heart's content when it's time to play, and study diligently when it's time to study; studying during physical education class would be a waste of time and effort.

Thinking about it, he prepared to call Lin Shuyue to get the racket.

But right there in this world, a clear and melodious voice cut in from the side and behind:

"Hi, Lu Qian!"

"Um?"

Lu Qian subconsciously turned his head, and his eyes lit up.

Shen Xinyi walked towards him.

The girl changed into a refreshing white sports short-sleeved shirt and shorts, her hair tied in a high ponytail, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, indicating that she had just been exercising.

She looked at Lu Qian with a bright smile.

"What a coincidence! I never expected we'd have the same PE class!"

She said in a lively voice, "Then teach me how to play ball later, I've already rested well at noon!"

Thinking of noon, a blush crept across the girl's cheeks.

After all, foot massage is both embarrassing and pleasurable...
