Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye, and the morning classes were over.

Once the school bell rings at noon, it's another day and a half of freedom.

Chen Zhou, however, slumped his head on the table, looking quite depressed.

In the classroom of Class 10 of Senior Three, there were more students staying behind to review than usual.

Liang Wenbo sat down in the seat in front of Chen Zhou and asked, "Chen Zhou, there's another monthly exam next week. What are your plans for this weekend? Are you going to stay at school and study?"

Chen Zhou wondered, if you don't burn incense regularly, will it be useful to pray to Buddha at the last minute? Yes, but only a little.

No matter what, I'm definitely doomed in this monthly exam!

Chen Zhou sat up straight and said, "Study? Study my ass!"

Liang Wenbo asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to study? Are you going to go to an internet cafe again? Or stay home and play games?"

Liu Xing interjected sourly, "Chen Zhou is now a well-rounded player. He doesn't study; he just plays games at home. His total score will still crush ours."

Chen Zhou: "…………Heh, hehe."

Long Jiajia chuckled and chimed in, "That's why I say you two are single dogs, your minds are always on internet cafes and games. I bet Chen Zhou is going on a date with Xia Yu."

As soon as Long Jiajia finished speaking, Chen Zhou suddenly caught sight of Xia Yu's figure outside the back door of the classroom.

Chen Zhou stood up, carrying his backpack, and said, "Excuse me."

Liu Xing stood up and stepped aside. "Where are you going?"

Chen Zhou smiled brightly, "A date."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked outside and indeed saw Xia Yu's graceful figure.

Even in her loose blue and white school uniform, her stunning beauty was undeniable.

Liang Wenbo said enviously, "That bastard, didn't they say they weren't a couple?"

Liu Xing said, "It's a shame you're Chen Zhou's childhood friend, yet you don't understand him at all. He's an honest man, and he doesn't talk much."

Liang Wenbo asked in confusion, "Chen Zhou talks a lot."

Long Jiajia smiled and said, "Chen Zhou, you're getting old, so you don't talk much about the truth."

"..." Liang Wenbo thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's true!"

Chen Zhou and Xia Yu walked side by side on their way home.

On the way, I bought a few stir-fried rice boxes from a street-side restaurant outside the school gate and packed them up to take home.

Xu Lele followed beside them, talking non-stop: "Chen Zhou, I've discovered you really are a genius!"

"I've known Xiaoyuer since elementary school, and she's always had a stutter."

"But you've only been with her for a few days, and her stutter has visibly improved."

"Now she can not only recite tongue twisters, but she also recites poems without stuttering like before."

"To be honest, I'm starting to admire you!"

Chen Zhou smiled calmly and said, "Xu Lele, please stop being obsessed with me. I'm just a legend."

Xu Lele: "???"

Chen Zhou added, "I'm already taken. You'll never have me."

Xia Yu smiled, her beautiful and charming eyes filled with affection for Chen Zhou.

“…………”

Xu Lele rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Chen Zhou, I've noticed that you're so easily flattered! You get all excited when you're praised!"

Xu Lele added, "Little Fish, don't praise this guy anymore, otherwise he might get cocky and run away right in front of you."

Xia Yu gently shook her head and said softly, "No, just praise."

Xu Lele was dumbfounded: "???"

She suddenly realized something—a world of three is too crowded!

I'll draw a circle and curse you two to grow old together!

Xu Lele was furious and stopped talking.

Chen Zhou smiled and asked, "Little Fish, what new poems have you learned to recite today?"

Xia Yu said softly, "Chen Zhou~, I, I'll carry it for you."

"For forty years, my home and country have been separated by three thousand miles of mountains and rivers."

"Phoenix pavilions and dragon towers reach the heavens, jade trees and coral branches form a misty canopy; how could they have known war?"

Xia Yu recited Li Yu's "Po Zhen Zi" without her previous stutter, but she still paused after every two or three words.

Chen Zhou was quite satisfied with this, giving a thumbs up and sincerely praising, "My little fish is really amazing!"

Keep up the good work, you'll definitely get better and better!

Xia Yu nodded happily, "Yes! Chen Zhou~, I, I will."

"I...I can also make red carp, green carp, and donkeys!"

A hint of smugness appeared on Xia Yu's delicate, jade-like face.

Chen Zhou said indulgently, "Really? You chose the tongue twister yourself?"

Xia Yu nodded. "Mm."

Chen Zhou said, "Then I'll have to listen carefully."

Xia Yu smiled sweetly and said obediently, "I...I'll carry it for you..."

Before long, Xia Yu recited the entire tongue twister "Red Carp" in one breath.

She recited the poems even more fluently than she had just recited.

After listening, Chen Zhou clapped repeatedly and praised, "Little Fish, if you ask me, you don't have even a hint of a stutter! You recited the tongue twister so well!"

"Tsk tsk, even better than me!"

"I believe that given time, it's not impossible for you to become a stand-up comedian! Really!"

Xia Yu was overjoyed to hear Chen Zhou's heartfelt praise.

"Chen Zhou~, thank you, I... I will try my best."

Xia Yu's charming peach blossom eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons, her dimples shallow, as she looked at Chen Zhou with heartfelt joy.

Now, Xu Lele finally understood.

Why is it that no one around Xiaoyuer can cure her stuttering except Chen Zhou?

Because this guy completely treated Xia Yu like a little child!

Build her confidence little by little with great patience.

Xu Lele thought that perhaps Chen Zhou was Xiaoyuer's destined prince charming.

It was destined that the two would fall in love.

·

"Was it destined that I would love you?"

"Um!"

"Ha ha."

"Chen Zhou~, what are you laughing at?"

In the living room, after dinner, Xia Yu was watching the youth idol drama "Fated to Love You" starring Joe Chen and Ethan Juan.

Chen Zhou said, "I wasn't laughing at anything, I just thought the ending theme song of this TV series was pretty good."

Xia Yu tilted her head and softly sang along with the characters in the TV series.

"Day by day, I'm getting closer to your heart."

Your happiness is my concern.

I can sense every single detail.

"You are my most beautiful belief"

Chen Zhou clapped and said, "My little fish sings so well, better than Li Xiaoran and Tang Yixin!"

Xia Yu asked in confusion, "Li... Li Xiaoran?"

Xu Lele was also curious, "Isn't Li Xiaoran an actress? She also sang this song?"

"Who is Tang Yixin?"

Chen Zhou made an "uh" sound, chuckled, and changed the subject, saying, "That's not important."

"Little Fish, I'm going out for a bit. Here's the spare key to the house."

"You can stay at my place this afternoon, go back to your room, or go out to play. Anyway, I might not be back until very late."

Xia Yu nodded obediently, "Mm."

"We're right here, waiting for you to come back."

Xu Lele pointed to herself, "Do I have to keep waiting?"

Chen Zhou said with a smile, "None of you need to wait for me. If you're bored, go out and play; if you're hungry, go out and eat."

"Okay, that's all, bye-bye."

Chen Zhou pinched Xia Yu's delicate face, said goodbye, and went out.

We walked out of the residential area.

Chen Zhou was about to hail a taxi when he saw a familiar silver Rolls-Royce approaching.

"Uh..." Chen Zhou thought to himself, it's probably Xiaoyuer's mother.

He called Xia Yu, and she answered quickly.

Xia Yu's sweet voice came through, "Chen Zhou~, w-what's wrong?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just missed you."

"Haha, just kidding. I saw your car outside the neighborhood, the silver Rolls-Royce from last time."

Xia Yu whispered, "That...that belongs to my mother."

Chen Zhou said, "Well, you and Xu Lele should go back next door quickly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain later."

Xia Yu obediently hummed in agreement, "Okay~"

At this point, Chen Zhou added, "I wasn't entirely joking just now."

Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds, and Chen Zhou felt awkward.

Just as the call was about to end, Xia Yu's voice, filled with shyness, suddenly came through.

"Chen Zhou~, I miss you too."

Chen Zhou smiled upon hearing this.

Just then, the Rolls-Royce drove past Chen Zhou, and the rear window rolled down.

Gao Rong glanced at Chen Zhou indifferently and quickly walked past him.

Chen Zhou: "…………"

No wonder Xiaoyuer is naturally beautiful, with a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky; her mother is also still very charming.

Hang up.

Chen Zhou quickly hailed a taxi and drove to the meeting place he had arranged with Luo Fei.

In the living room of room 402, Xu Lele kept rolling her eyes.

"Little Fish, have you and Chen Zhou been apart for even five minutes? Are you two already trying to sleep with each other again?"

"If you ask me, you two might as well become conjoined twins."

Xia Yu was embarrassed by her best friend's teasing, but when she thought of Chen Zhou, she couldn't help but drift off into her own thoughts.

Before long, she was again secretly delighted, with a smile that could launch a thousand ships.

Seeing her best friend looking down and grinning foolishly, Xu Lele was speechless.

Xu Lele let out a heavy "Ha!"

Xia Yu snapped out of her daze and asked in confusion, "Lele, what's wrong?"

Xu Lele said, "Now I finally understand why there's a saying: 'A wise person doesn't fall in love.'"

Xia Yu asked curiously, "Why...why?"

Xu Lele said, "Because being love-struck makes you stupid!"

"Once you fall in love, even the wisest person will turn into a love-struck fool like you!"

Xia Yu thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I...I'm not love-struck...silly...fool."

Xu Lele said in surprise, "You still say you didn't? You gave Chen Zhou more than 50 yuan, gave him your heart, gave him your soul, you're just short of giving him your body."

"But what did he give you?"

"Little Fish, although Chen Zhou is quite handsome and his grades are pretty good, what has he done for you? Besides taking you in for one night and helping you with your stutter, what else has he given you?"

"Little Fish, I personally feel that you've given more than him in this relationship, and he doesn't even acknowledge you as his girlfriend in public. His intentions are despicable!"

"Of course, I'm not trying to sow discord between you two. I just believe that love is about mutual effort. Your one-sided devotion is just being love-struck and foolish!"

Xu Lele was worried that her best friend would suffer in a relationship.

Xia Yu took out a key and said happily, "Chen Zhou gave me... his house key."

Xu Lele looked bewildered: "?"

"So what? A key was all it took to bribe you?" Xu Lele asked, puzzled.

Xia Yu smiled sweetly and said, "Only the female lead has that."

Xu Lele: "…………"

"Ha, six!"
