Rebirth 08: A Happy Life Begins in Elementary School

This wasn't the first time Cai Chao had seen Li Zhao's "fatherly" gaze.

He couldn't understand why his usual mischievous tricks, which worked so well with other people and even made their teachers anxious, were completely useless against Li Zhao.

I stole your pen and ran around everywhere!

Cai Chao waved the pen in his hand at Li Zhao and ran wildly around the four walls of the classroom while yelling.

The noise disturbed some students who were preparing to rest or study, including He Shuyao. Everyone cast disgusted and annoyed glances at Cai Chao.

This kind of look wouldn't make Cai Chao happy, but the subsequent actions of showing disgust but not taking any further action would make Cai Chao very pleased.

I love the look on your face when you can't stand me but can't do anything about it.

Except Li Zhao.

He still had a gentle look in his eyes, and he didn't even look at Cai Chao the whole time. He only looked up when Cai Chao called his name.

Li Zhao genuinely found it interesting.

As far as I can remember, he must have really disliked Cai Chao.

These troublemakers are all about provoking you. They have no sense of proportion and can do outrageous things if pushed too far, but if you don't push them...

Cai Chao's behavior of stealing your pen and running around the classroom yelling is just childish.

It should be considered naughty, but not bad.

Li Zhao wasn't unwilling to stoop to his level; after all, Li Zhao was still a primary school student.

If Cai Chao really smashes the pen, Li Zhao will definitely make him pay the price.

What the hell!

Cai Chao panicked and rushed to Li Zhao, staring intently at him.

That look isn't very polite.

Li Zhao looked at him, his smile gradually becoming forced and insincere.

Cai Chao was dumbfounded; he saw the complete shadow of his father in Li Zhao.

When working, he would smile gently and indulge Cai Chao's mischief. If Cai Chao crossed the line even slightly, his father would turn into a smirk. If Cai Chao did not restrain himself, a belt would suddenly appear.

He then thought of Li Zhao chatting and laughing with adults in an internet cafe while looking at a stock market page.

"..."

Cai Chao silently returned the pen to Li Zhao and went back to his seat for an afternoon nap.

Li Zhao didn't react much; he simply moved his pen aside and continued reading his book.

[Countering Cai Chao, Happiness +1, Total 4]

Okay, then thank you, Xiao Cai.

Cai Chao was actually very conflicted.

As the leader of the troublemakers in the class, it's a must to provoke the most popular guy in the class, otherwise how can he show his special status?

Especially since Li Zhaolian has offended even the homeroom teacher, this is a major boon.

The problem is that Li Zhao can even offend the homeroom teacher, so what is Cai Chao, a nobody?

In his exasperation, Cai Chao came up with a strange idea—to simply outsmart Li Zhao and deflate his arrogance.

So he chose to sleep.

You can only do this in your dreams.

Chen Nian kept staring at Cai Chao. Seeing his dejected appearance, he felt extremely incredulous. How could his deskmate have taken down the leader of the bad boys without lifting a finger?

He pondered for a moment, then jotted down Li Zhao's words and actions of the day in his notebook.

The notebook cover prominently displays the words "Li Zhao's Observation Diary".

After a silent morning, He Shuyao walked towards Li Zhao with her composition book in hand. She glanced at her classmate who was sleeping on the table and whispered to Li Zhao, "Let's exchange compositions."

"Um?"

He Shuyao showed the composition book in her hand, "I've finished writing the happiness methodology I mentioned before, and I wanted to show it to you..."

"But we need to exchange."

Chen Nian pricked up his ears.

Li Zhao flipped through the Chinese exam paper, intending to hand it to He Shuyao, but she refused: "I've already seen it. I want to see a new one. Aren't you writing one too?"

You little Li Zhao from your past life, you actually exchanged essays with He Shuyao before?

Li Zhao did write an article, but the title was "Say Goodbye to 'Spreading the Spread' and Learn to 'Climb the Ladder' - Some Thoughts on Transforming the Development Model".

Nothing I say is appropriate.

"Then, wait a little longer." Li Zhao thought about whether he should take this opportunity to practice his elementary school composition and see how to integrate paragraphing while achieving a dimensional reduction attack.

"Oh." He Shuyao sounded slightly disappointed.

"I'll trade with you for Shuyao!" Chen Nian said, raising his head.

"I do not want."

Chen Nian bowed his head, the boy's pride falling to the ground.

"Then why don't you take a look at it first?" Li Zhao suggested.

"Okay." He Shuyao gently put down her composition book, swung her long ponytail, and returned to her seat to continue writing in her locked diary.

Chen Nian asked a question mark.

The boy suddenly understood what double standards meant.

In the short two weeks since Li Zhao was reborn, Chen Nian has also grown a lot.

"Chen Nian," Li Zhao suddenly said, "give me the preliminary exam paper you wrote."

"Huh? You want more?"

"I'm going to see Teacher Huang, and I'd like her to help you with your translation."

"This..." Chen Nian suddenly became nervous, "...maybe not?"

"You've already written it, what's there to be ashamed of? If Teacher Huang knew you wrote it voluntarily, he'd think more highly of you."

"Really? Really?"

"Absolutely."

Chen Nian pursed his lips and handed the exam paper to Li Zhao, looking as if he wanted Li Zhao to help deliver a love letter.

When I arrived at the teachers' office, Huang Keyun was indeed sitting in her seat.

Li Zhao walked over without saying hello and immediately recognized the paper he had written for the final exam spread out on the table. Huang Keyun was looking for something in an Oxford dictionary.

"Teacher Huang?"

"Bang!" Huang Keyun slammed the dictionary shut, her expression and tone betraying her surprise, and said, "Li Zhao, what are you doing here? Oh, what brings you here?"

"..." Li Zhao pointed to his own exam paper.

"Ah, this, oh right," Huang Keyun smoothed her hair, "that's about it, I'll give it back to you right away."

"Venerable can be used to describe architecture, especially architecture with a profound historical and cultural heritage, describing its solemnity and rich heritage. I wrote Kaiyuan Temple, a national-level cultural relic protection unit, which is very appropriate." Li Zhao directly answered Huang Keyun's question.

Because the latest word in her notebook was "venerable," with three question marks next to it.

Huang Keyun should know this word, but when she learned it, she probably used it to describe religious figures or people of high moral standing.

However, Li Zhao frequently uses this word in his English reports on cultural relic assessments.

"Ah, I see. I'm not sure about this. The dictionary examples aren't comprehensive enough..." Huang Keyun kept blinking.

"Teacher, this is Chen Nian's preliminary exam paper. It's quite well done. If you have time, could you please grade the translation and essay questions?" Li Zhao handed the exam paper to Huang Keyun.

Teacher Huang's hands were unusually white today, and they were trembling a little.

"Actually, Teacher Huang, if you have any questions, you can just ask me."

A thunderclap resounded in Huang Keyun's heart.

And yet, there's no way to refute it.

[Enjoyed the experience, happiness +1, total 5]

This is what you call double the enjoyment.

Just as Li Zhao was about to leave, he saw Mr. Wu, the Chinese teacher from last time, and Group Leader Liu walk in with newspapers in their hands.

So Li Zhao stopped again. "Teacher Huang, please finish grading the essays. I'll wait a bit."

Huang Keyun swallowed hard, then could only rub her fingers together and grit her teeth to start looking at the exam paper.

Oh my god, there are still three words above that I'm not sure if I used them correctly, I'm about to check them!

"Team Leader Liu, did Director Tian misunderstand something last time?" Teacher Wu asked with a smile. "That 'Four-Knife' guy has published a new article criticizing toxic parenting advice, and it's generated a lot of buzz. Director Tian, ​​on the other hand, wrote an article in our New Taipei Daily questioning Four-Knife's article on livable cities!"

His words were full of barbs.

Li Zhao smiled, "Here comes the boomerang."

But why did these toxic motivational quotes appear so quickly? And why are they generating such a big response?

Tian Li even wrote an article specifically to oppose this?

interesting.
