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

Meanwhile, in the Lin family's living room, Lin Chen and his wife Shen Qingqiu were chatting on the sofa.

"Old Lin, have you noticed?"

Shen Qingqiu peeled an apple, a smile on her face: "Lu Qian seems to have really changed a lot lately."

"I observed him at the dinner table just now and found that his reasoning was very coherent and logical, unlike his previous impulsive and rash manner."

Perhaps it was because Lu Qian was quite handsome. Shen Qingqiu had watched Lu Qian grow up, and like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, she was very satisfied with him no matter how she looked at him, so she naturally praised him.

"Yes, it is indeed a bit different."

Hearing his wife's words, Lin Chen nodded, a hint of relief in his eyes: "He just brought up the topic of the 100-day countdown rally with Shu Yue. In the past, he would have avoided it like the plague. It seems he's really taking it seriously and has a sense of collective honor..."

"This is a good thing."

Shen Qingqiu handed the peeled apple to her husband: "After all, you know our daughter. She may not say it, but she's always thinking about us. It's good that Lu Qian can become more reliable and proactive."

As a mother, she naturally understood her daughter's little thoughts even better.

Seeing how much my future son-in-law has grown, I feel very gratified.

Although it is said that once a daughter is married, she is like water spilled from a cup, most parents in the world hope that their daughters can marry into a good family and not be bullied. Mr. and Mrs. Lin are no exception.

This is one of the reasons why they approve of Lu Qian.

After all, having watched this kid grow up from a young age, I know his roots are straight, and his branches won't be crooked too much.

"That's true."

Lin Chen took a bite of his apple and smiled, "Let's see what good ideas they can come up with."

He then got up and walked towards the study: "Alright, that's enough chatting, I'm going to the study to look at some documents."

"Okay, I'll go cut some fruit for them."

Shen Qingqiu got up and walked towards the kitchen, a gentle smile on his face.

"Having two high school seniors in the family puts a lot of pressure on us, so we elders have to do a good job of supporting them."

"That's right, that's right."

"..."

A short while later, Shen Qingqiu came out carrying an exquisite fruit platter.

The menu featured sliced ​​watermelon, cantaloupe, and strawberries, with small forks thoughtfully inserted into the fruit slices.

It's clear that they did a lot of logistical work.

After cutting the fruit into a platter, Shen Qingqiu tiptoed to his daughter's bedroom door, thinking that the two children might be engrossed in their discussion, so he didn't knock.

Grasp the doorknob directly and turn it gently—

The door was pushed open with a "click".

Immediately afterwards...

The scene before her eyes froze her in shock.

The smile froze on his face.

Inside the room, her beloved daughter, Lin Shuyue, sat in a chair in front of the desk, her little face flushed red, her head lowered, and her long eyelashes trembling violently.

Lu Qian, the son of the Lu family, stood in front of his daughter, leaning slightly forward, one hand...

It was placed squarely on her own daughter's lap!

"??!"

Shen Qingqiu was instantly stunned.

Goodness, I thought you two were having a private meal together in the room, but it turns out you two really were.

At the same time, Lin Shuyue and Lu Qian heard the door open and immediately looked up at the doorway...

"..."

"..."

"..."

Six eyes met.

Shen Qingqiu's mind went blank, and his hand holding the fruit plate trembled slightly.

"Well……"

Shen Qingqiu opened his mouth, then suddenly realized that he had come at a bad time.

So he blurted out instinctively, "You guys continue... I... I didn't see anything."

After saying that, she took a step back and slammed the door shut.

Shen Qingqiu, standing outside the door, leaned against the door panel, her heart pounding and her face flushed.

"Oh my god! What did I just see?!"

She closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath.

"A hallucination, it must be a hallucination!"

I must be doing something wrong!

Correct!

Definitely!

She gripped the doorknob again.

She pushed the door open again.

The view inside the room remained almost unchanged.

Lin Shuyue remained sitting there with her face flushed and her head down, while Lu Qian kept his hand on her lap.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Ahem, the fruit's here...you guys continue...discussing business..."

One time, the door slammed shut.

Immediately afterwards, this sentence came from outside the door:

"Old Lin, my eyesight seems to be failing me lately. Tell me, what's wrong...?"

"?"

The sound gradually faded away, leaving two people in the room frozen in place.

Lu Qian's hand froze in mid-air.

The soft, warm touch seemed to linger in my palm.

It's comfortable, but it's also socially dead.

Seeing Lin Shuyue covering her thigh where she had been slapped, glaring at him with embarrassment and anger, he was speechless for a moment.

"Uh... I'm so sorry, I got too excited and took the wrong picture!"

Lu Qian quickly withdrew his hand, so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground, and explained with a dry laugh, "Ahem, I really didn't mean to, it was just that I got too enthusiastic and lost control of my body language..."

"Out of control my foot!"

Lin Shuyue was both embarrassed and angry, rubbing her slightly numb thigh: "You did this on purpose, trying to get revenge for me kicking you at the dinner table earlier, didn't you? Lu Qian, you petty bastard!"

"See? Now my mom caught us, and I can't explain myself anymore!"

Oh ho, you still remember when you kicked me?

Forget it, I won't hold it against you.

Seeing Qingmei's embarrassed and angry face, Lu Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and forcefully change the subject.

Since things have come to this point, it's best to shift our focus as soon as possible.

His gaze fell on a slightly worn rag doll dressed in a pink dress on the headboard of Lin Shuyue's bed.

Okay, let's stick to this topic.

"Ah, that Shuyue doll, the one I gave you before, I didn't expect you still had it? Haha... Did you like the gift I gave you?"

"……like."

"What color? Does Little Pink like it?"

"……like."

"What about the design? Big eyes and a small mouth, do you like it?"

"……like."

"And what about me? Do you like me?"

"like……"

Lin Shuyue answered almost reflexively, following his lead.

The words had barely left her mouth when she suddenly realized, "Pah! Lu Qian, you...you tricked me!"

She immediately turned from shyness to anger, grabbed a cushion and threw it at Lu Qian.

"Hey, just say you like me. I know how charming I am, you don't need to go through all this..."

Lu Qian quickly caught the pillow.

Seeing Qingmei's flustered state, he knew he had given her enough emotional support, so he quickly added more fuel to the fire.

He burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you said it yourself! I didn't force you, Lin Shuyue. You need to be honest with yourself!"

"Shut up!!" Lin Shuyue was both embarrassed and angry, and made a move to smash it again.

"Alright, alright, that's enough joking around!"

Seeing that things were going well, Lu Qian gently placed the cushion back on the bed: "Let's get down to business. I was wrong just now. Let's hurry up and finish the oath-taking speech, otherwise Aunt Shen might come in with a knife in a little while."

"snort!"

When it came to serious matters, Lin Shuyue glared at him: "Fine, let's go with the plan you just mentioned. Combining a short drama with a pledge is a very innovative idea, and it's definitely feasible."

"The most important thing now is the content of the oath. Lu Qian, have you thought about what to write? This is something that will be read in front of the whole school, so we can't be careless."

Hey, it's just writing an oath, what's so hard about that? I was a professional in that field in my past life.

It's 2014 now. He could easily copy one or two of those well-known poems and lyrics from later generations.

After all, I'm in the writing industry, so I must have memorized a lot of famous quotes.

Copying books is something for scholars; can that really be called copying?

I'm just borrowing from it!

He raised an eyebrow confidently: "This is easy, just watch me!"

He patted his chest, looking confident and assured.

"You?"

Lin Shuyue looked at him suspiciously: "You can even write an oath? This isn't like writing an essay. It has to be catchy, powerful, and moving."

"Tsk, who do you think you are?" Lu Qian shook his head smugly. "Don't forget, I got the highest score in the class on the composition in this Chinese exam. Even Teacher Zhang praised me on the spot. A mere oath is a piece of cake."

Lin Shuyue thought about it and realized that there was indeed such a thing.

Hmph, he didn't put a cover on the urea this morning, but he did manage to put one on.

She pouted, but a hint of expectation still lingered in her eyes: "Then hurry up and write it! Don't just talk the talk!"

"Okay, then get me a pen!" Lu Qian stretched out his hand, looking like he wanted to be waited on hand and foot.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyue subconsciously looked at the desk: "Isn't there a pen right next to you?"

"That won't do." Lu Qian still held out his hand. "I want the pen you gave me. Don't you know that in ancient times, when scholars were composing poetry, they always had a beautiful woman by their side to add fragrance to their writing?"

Since I'm going to put on airs anyway, I might as well show off a bit in front of my childhood sweetheart and tease this young girl.

So he deliberately made a joke.

"Pah! Who wants to keep you company?" Lin Shuyue's face flushed again.

But despite her verbal complaints, her body language betrayed her by standing up.

He walked to the desk, picked up a black ballpoint pen, turned around and handed it to Lu Qian, "Here you go!"

"Hehe, then thank you so much, our beautiful Lin!"

Lu Qian smiled and took the pen, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against Lin Shuyue's palm, causing her to quickly pull her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

I was delighted to have my childhood sweetheart add fragrance to my life.

He didn't say anything more, walked to the desk, and pulled over a blank sheet of draft paper.

Without much thought, the pen tip landed on the paper and began to write rapidly.

The handwriting isn't particularly beautiful, but the strokes are smooth and executed in one go.

It was as if those words had already matured in his heart.

Lin Shuyue curiously leaned over to take a look.

The oath written by Lu Qian was not long, but every word was powerful and resounding:

No one is born weak, and no one is destined to be nothing more than weeds.

[If I take a little less nap, I can do more practice tests; if I play one less game, I can memorize more knowledge points.]

The campus was really dark at 6 a.m., and a score of over 600 was truly dazzling.

【…】

Lin Shuyue initially had a somewhat critical attitude, but as she looked at it, her gaze changed.

She subconsciously followed Lu Qian's handwriting and read it aloud softly.

After reading it once, she didn't speak, but then read it again from beginning to end, in a clearer and more focused voice.

There were no fancy words, just empty slogans.

This oath is straightforward and down-to-earth, full of the most authentic portrayal and the most basic aspirations of senior high school students.

It highlights the hardships of reality and ignites the goal of striving. It emphasizes the significance of hard work through the most relatable comparisons, creating a strong visual impact.

Although it does sound a bit cringeworthy and overly enthusiastic, it is precisely this cringe that makes it full of youthful energy and a reckless appeal.

"Great...it's so well written!"

Lin Shuyue was increasingly shocked by what she read; it completely exceeded her expectations.

Overwhelmed with excitement, she instinctively raised her hand—

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

Huh?

Why does it feel a little off?

next moment……

"hiss……"

Lu Qian gasped, clutching the outside of his thigh where he had been slapped: "Lin Shuyue, why did you slap my thigh?!"

"ah?!"

Lin Shuyue then realized what was happening and looked at her hand, which was still raised in mid-air.

No, this boomerang came at just the right time...

"Uh...yes, I'm sorry, I was just too excited and took the wrong picture!"

"Ahem, you just patted me, and now I've patted you back, so we're even, right? That's it, that's it..."

She quickly apologized, her face flushing red again.

It wouldn't be a problem if he accidentally took a picture of himself, but now he's accidentally taken a picture of his too...

Is tonight cursed? Why does it keep making people make silly mistakes?

That's so embarrassing.

I instinctively pulled my hand back.

Just as she pulled her hand back, her elbow accidentally touched the edge of her pocket.

A roll of black silk fabric with lace trim slipped silently out of her pocket.

With a "thud," it fell to the floor at their feet.
