Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Nothing happened that night.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Chen Zhou and Xia Yu set off early together.

I bought breakfast from a street vendor outside the school and filled my stomach.

Then, they entered the school gate one after the other, keeping a considerable distance apart.

They acted as if they were having a secret relationship, being very careful.

Well... the main reason is that Teacher Gao was standing at the school gate today, and I don't know what he was checking.

They're probably cracking down on early romantic relationships and suspected early romantic relationships!

Chen Zhou arrived at the classroom of Class 10, Grade 12, just as the morning self-study session was about to begin.

After taking a seat, Chen Zhou slumped onto the table.

Early morning study sessions are so tough!

High school seniors have it so tough!

At this moment, Liu Xing asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Long Jiajia asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"?"

Chen Zhou was taken aback. "What's wrong? Why are you eating Liuliumei all the time?"

Liu Xing looked completely bewildered. "What the hell? I'm asking you, you went to the hospital for a checkup, and everything was fine, right?"

Chen Zhou raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did you know I went to the hospital?"

Long Jiajia interrupted smugly, "Of course I told him! I'm the intelligence chief of Tangzhong! How could I not know?"

"Tell me quickly, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Chen Zhou said casually, "It's nothing. I have a good appetite and I'm in great health. These are all minor issues."

"Just spray some medicine and get some rest." Chen Zhou just wanted to catch up on his sleep.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xing and Long Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

Long Jiajia then asked, "So, are you still going to have PE class during the third period this morning?"

Chen Zhou asked, "Why not go?"

Liu Xing said, "Didn't you say the doctor told you to rest more?"

Chen Zhou said, "Isn't physical education class for rest?"

Liu Xing: "…………"

Long Jiajia chimed in with a grin, "Chen Zhou, you want to go to PE class with Xia Yu so you can have a legitimate date at school, right?"

Chen Zhou looked speechless and said, "How many times have I told you, Xia Yu and I are not a couple."

Long Jiajia exclaimed "Huh?" and Liu Xing shook his head; both of them were skeptical.

After morning self-study, the first two classes in the morning are physics and chemistry.

Both classes were spent reviewing yesterday's exam papers.

The entire book is filled with electromagnetic analysis, and special topics on electrode potentials of galvanic cells and electrolytic cells...

Chen Zhou understood about 70% of what was said, but his mind was completely blank.

I go!

Luckily I took the day off yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pass the exam!

But this can't go on forever!

I can't possibly ask for leave for every exam, can I?

Chen Zhou thought to himself that he still needed to find himself a tutor for his combined science subjects.

But... who can I turn to?

Before we knew it, it was the third period of the morning. Both Class 9 and Class 10 of the third year of high school had physical education classes.

Both classes were lucky today; their PE teacher wasn't sick.

They all just gathered, ran two laps around the track, and then dispersed.

Chen Zhou sat on the stone steps by the playground, his hands supporting him on the ground, looking up at the sky, closing his eyes, and leisurely basking in the sun.

At first, he was alone, but gradually, more and more people came into his life.

Liang Wenbo and Liu Xing sat on the ground, just like Chen Zhou.

I imitated his movements as he basked in the sunlight.

Long Jiajia sat next to Chen Zhou, holding a guitar and practicing her playing, "bothering" him.

Liang Wenbo said, "You bastard, what are you thinking about with your eyes closed?"

"I'm thinking..."

Chen Zhou slowly opened his eyes and said quietly, "Long Jiajia, are you playing a guitar or fluffing cotton? It sounds awful."

Long Jiajia looked indignant, "Hey!!"

Chen Zhou said, "I'm not called 'Hey,' I'm called Chen Zhou."

Long Jiajia: "…………"

After a few seconds of silence, Long Jiajia said indignantly, "Chen Zhou, I'm a beginner at guitar, isn't it normal that I'm not good at it?"

"Besides, even if I'm not good at it, I'm still better than you!"

"You musical idiot! You can't even tell the difference between 'dorma mifa sol la ti'!"

These words struck Chen Zhou squarely; he truly was a musical idiot.

However, this was Chen Zhou, a high school student in his previous life, while Chen Zhou, who was reborn, well... well, he's not much better.

Otherwise, he would have become a plagiarist long ago, copying songs to earn his first pot of gold.

but!

Chen Zhou, who had studied guitar and singing for a period of time in his previous life, was definitely better than Long Jiajia, the "heir of a musical family" who played guitar like she was fluffing cotton.

Chen Zhou said, "Who said I can't tell the difference between Doraemon, Lava, and Mi? Give me the guitar, and I'll show you my true skills."

Long Jiajia scoffed, handing the guitar to Chen Zhou, "Here you go. See how capable you are!"

Chen Zhou took the guitar, held it, and tuned the strings with impressive skill.

Liu Xing looked miserable. "No, bro, you really want to be Sauce Explosion?"

Liang Wenbo also covered his ears and pleaded, "We're all on the same side, brother, please don't speak, okay?"

Chen Zhou glanced at them sideways, scoffed, and then played a short melody.

notation:

"123 356"

"6321165"

Chen Zhou hummed a short tune along with the guitar melody he was playing.

"Chrysanthemums wither, leaving only sorrow on the ground."

Your smile has faded.

“…………”

"The north wind blows wildly, the night is not yet over."

"Your shadow cannot be cut off."

After singing this part, Chen Zhou can't sing anything else; he only knows the catchy classic melodies.

But when Long Jiajia and the others saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.

Although Chen Zhou still spoke in his usual plain voice, every note he uttered seemed to be accurate.

Moreover, the melody played on the guitar is quite smooth.

You can tell they've had special training!

This is a completely different person from Chen Zhou, who used to embarrass himself by singing off-key in music class!

Long Jiajia exclaimed incredulously, "Chen Zhou, are you still the Chen Zhou I know?!"

Liu Xing pressed further, "Chen Zhou, what else do you have that we don't know?"

Surprised, Liang Wenbo cursed, "You bastard, you've been hiding this well!"

"You even lied to your own father!" Liang Wenbo said, heartbroken.

Chen Zhou chuckled awkwardly and said, "You don't need to look at me like that. I only know a few moves."

His three friends, however, all refused to believe it. "Really?"

Chen Zhou said firmly, "Really!"

"I only know a very few songs, just the classic parts, and my skill level is just so-so."

Chen Zhou was very honest. Long Jiajia thought about it and nodded. Chen Zhou's level was indeed average.

But it's so much better than someone like me who's completely clueless!

Long Jiajia put on a smiling face and pleaded, "Chen Zhou, could you teach me how to play the guitar?"

Chen Zhou pointed to his own nose, looking embarrassed: "Me? Teach you?"

Long Jiajia nodded and said, "That's right! Even though you don't play professionally, it's free!"

Chen Zhou: "…………"

"How about this, Long Jiajia, I'll teach you to play guitar, and you teach me physics, chemistry, and biology, okay?"

Chen Zhou had a flash of inspiration and made a suggestion.

"?"

Long Jiajia was stunned for a moment, while Liu Xing rolled his eyes.

Liang Wenbo directly complained, "Chen Zhou, you bastard, you only got 289 on the science section of the last monthly exam. Who in our class can tutor you?"

Long Jiajia chimed in, "Chen Zhou, I'm already being kind by not asking you to teach me physics, chemistry, and biology."

Liu Xing also said to Chen Zhou, "If we're talking about our grade, the only one who's better than you in the combined science subjects is probably Xia Yu. If you want to get a perfect score in the combined science subjects, you can go find her."

Chen Zhou: "…………"

Chen Zhou thought to himself, "I would also like to find the academic genius Xiaoyuer to tutor me in science, but she has a stutter!"

Isn't this putting that girl in a difficult position?

But just then, as the saying goes, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."

Xia Yu and Xu Lele slowly walked up the stone steps by the playground and came to Chen Zhou and the others.

Xu Lele greeted her fellow anime club member Long Jiajia in Japanese, saying, "Jiajia-chan, kuuni jiwa."

Xia Yu waved her fair hand in front of her chest, greeting Chen Zhou's friends in this way.

Then, she called out happily with a touch of shyness, "Chen Zhou."

Chen Zhou smiled, then patted Long Jiajia's sleeve and gave her a wink.

Long Jiajia pouted, gave Chen Zhou the middle finger, and then moved to a different spot.

An empty seat was made for Xia Yu.

"Thank you." Xia Yu clasped her hands together and thanked Long Jiajia in a rather playful manner.

Then, Xia Yu came to Chen Zhou's side and sat down on the steps.

The two were very close, their school uniforms almost touching.

They exchanged a smile, then remained silent.

Chen Zhou knew that no matter what he said, Xiaoyuer wouldn't be able to respond and could only mumble "uh-huh".

After all, although this girl is quite uninhibited in front of him, she still has her own little idol image to maintain in front of outsiders and doesn't want to embarrass herself in public.

Xu Lele, acting as her best friend's mouthpiece, asked, "Chen Zhou, you're holding a guitar, can you even play this?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, but only a little bit."

Xu Lele said, "Then play it for us, no, for your little fish to hear."

Long Jiajia interjected, "Chen Zhou, you still say you and Xia Yu aren't a couple? She's practically yours now!"

Long Jiajia looked surprised, her face turning gray.

Chen Zhou said, "Don't listen to Xu Lele's nonsense. Xia Yu and I are good friends, lifelong friends."

Long Jiajia grinned mischievously, "You two have been best friends for life?"

Chen Zhou said, "That's right!"

Xia Yu nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes!"

Long Jiajia's smile widened, and she laughed heartily, looking up at the sky.

Xu Lele looked at her fellow enthusiast speechlessly. This Long Jiajia was definitely up to no good again.

Xu Lele urged, "Chen Zhou, why don't you play a song or sing a song for your best friend for life?"

"We'd like to hear it too, wouldn't we?" Xu Lele looked at her fellow enthusiasts.

Long Jiajia said "Oh," and then added, "Yes!"

She understood Xu Lele's meaning perfectly and said, "You can also play or sing what you want to say to Xia Yu."

Long Jiajia smiled like an aunt, "I think JJ Lin's new song, 'Little Dimples,' is pretty good. Chen Zhou, can you sing it?"

Chen Zhou said, "No."

Long Jiajia: "…………"

Xu Lele asked, "What about Guang Liang's 'Fairy Tales'?"

Chen Zhou said, "No."

Xu Lele said with a smile, "Then you must know 'Mice Love Rice,' right?"

Chen Zhou said, "No, not either."

"..." Xu Lele was speechless. "So what can you do?"

Chen Zhou said, "I know a few lines from 'If One Day I Become Very Rich'."

Xu Lele and Long Jiajia were both dumbfounded. "Is this song even available?"

Xia Yu tilted her head, looking at Chen Zhou with the same puzzled expression.

Chen Zhou smiled, offered no explanation, plucked a string, and quickly began to play.

"If one day I become very rich"

"My first choice is not to travel around the world."

"Lying in the world's biggest and softest sofa"

Chen Zhou played the piano and sang at the same time.

Despite his plain voice, when he sang "I'll become rich, I'll become rich," his voice was full of genuine emotion.

Xia Yu knew Chen Zhou's "ideal," and her fair hands clapped incessantly.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with affection and inexplicable admiration.

Xu Lele was speechless. One of them had a chance to confess but didn't use it, instead singing "Become rich, I become rich" while the other one was looking like a lovesick fool!

Why is your relationship so peculiar?

Long Jiajia was also speechless: "…………"

But she was speechless towards Liang Wenbo and Liu Xing.

Long Jiajia waved her hand back and forth in front of their eyes a few times, then pursed her lips and said, "Tsk tsk, what are you two looking at?"

"Now she's the eldest sister-in-law!"

Long Jiajia reminded her.

Liang Wenbo and Liu Xing snapped out of their daze and both let out an awkward "uh".

That's when they finally looked away from their wide-eyed stares.

envy!

envy!!

They couldn't understand why the aloof school beauty would fall for Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou, my good brother! Your girlfriend can be a shrew, but she can't be the school beauty!!

It definitely can't be Xia Yu, the most beautiful girl in the school!!

Liang Wenbo couldn't hold back any longer. He mustered his courage and stepped forward to ask, "Xia Yu, may I ask you a question?"

Xia Yu blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes and turned to look at Chen Zhou beside her.

Chen Zhou immediately understood and said with a smile, "Just ask me, I'll answer for her."

Liang Wenbo said, "Only Xia Yu can answer this question."

Xu Lele said, "I can also answer that. I am her best friend, and I am also her mouth double."

Xu Lele looked smug.

"No!"

Liang Wenbo had just said "no" when he looked at Xu Lele again and saw her cute pigtails. Liang Wenbo's heart skipped a beat.

He was completely stunned.

Blushed.

He buried his head, not daring to look at Xu Lele anymore.

Xu Lele asked in confusion, "You, you there, what were you doing just now?"

Liang Wenbo didn't dare to raise his head, shaking his head repeatedly, "No, it's nothing."

Chen Zhou saw right through Liang Wenbo's little scheme: "You're still embarrassed?"

Where did your rebellious spirit go?

Chen Zhou found it amusing, and seeing Xiao Yu'er's curious expression, he decided to share some gossip with her.

Chen Zhou leaned close to Xia Yu's ear and whispered, "My childhood friend seems to have a crush on your best friend."

"Let me tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's pretty face quickly flushed with a charming blush.

It was just that Chen Zhou's hot breath sprayed all over her earlobe, making it ticklish.

My heart is itching too.

At this moment, Chen Zhou was speaking in Xia Yu's ear. Xia Yu curled up slightly, nestled against Chen Zhou like a little bird. To outsiders, she looked exactly like a timid little wife.

Gao Qin, standing by the railing on the high platform behind the steps, also witnessed this scene and shared the same opinion.

She crossed her arms, her eyebrows furrowed, and glared angrily!

Not long after, Chen Zhou, who was whispering to Xia Yu, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

Looking at Xu Lele and the others who were just chattering away, they now all looked like frightened birds.

Chen Zhou had a bad feeling, and he looked back, following the gaze of Xu Lele and the others.

But the next second, Chen Zhou met Teacher Gao's murderous gaze.

Chen Zhou's lips twitched. "It's over."

Xia Yu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She gripped Chen Zhou's sleeve tightly and cried out, "I'm...I'm doomed."
