Rebirth 08: A Happy Life Begins in Elementary School

Chapter 74 Where's your QQ? [Please read on!!]

Essentially, this is brainwashing the parents.

The more they accept Li Zhao's "genius prodigy" persona, the more room Li Zhao will have to maneuver.

In reality, if parents truly accept this premise, many conflicts seem to disappear.

The reason they were terminally ill in their past lives was simply because they were too arrogant in their early years, and after ruining their relationship with Li Zhao, they began to worry about control.

The biggest problem in the early stages was putting too much pressure on Li Zhao.

But now that Li Zhao has become a child prodigy, it's hard to say who will put pressure on whom.

With the stores that he built up later, Li Zhao's future financial freedom seems to mean that his parents have no reason to turn bad in this life.

Regardless, the lack of conditions is one thing, the essence is another.

The reforms cannot stop, otherwise Li Zhao will not be able to get over the anger he felt in his previous life.

April 21st, a new week begins.

The class's overall demeanor has visibly improved; fewer students are dozing off in the morning, and the frequency of whispering during class has decreased.

At first, Li Zhao didn't understand why, but he felt that the reading environment had improved a lot.

"Chen Nian, don't you think everyone's been much better behaved today?"

During the break, Li Zhao took the initiative to ask Chen Nian.

"!" Chen Nian was startled.

"What kind of reaction is that—"

"You actually spoke to me first!"

Li Zhao was taken aback. "So, it's always you who initiates contact with me?"

"Of course, especially during the first break, apart from Shuyao coming to find you, you were basically either spacing out or reading, and you didn't say a word at all."

"————" That's a bit awkward, bro.

Li Zhao chuckled, "Well, I guess I wasn't feeling too energetic when I came here this morning."

"The classroom is much quieter now."

Is it possible to directly connect back to Li Zhao's question?

"Right, I don't know what happened."

Chen Nian stretched and yawned. "Maybe it's because we're about to have a holiday."

"Um?"

"Don't you know how? Because there's a holiday coming up soon, you're probably thinking about playing during the break."

Li Zhao almost blurted out, "But it's only one extra day and I still have to take a day off in lieu of leave," but then thought better of it.

For elementary school students at this age, holidays have special significance.

Just like these past few years, the New Year still has a special festive atmosphere.

"And the weather is really nice today," He Shuyao said casually as she passed by.

Then he went out of the classroom and chatted with Jiang Qi by the railing.

The weather is very nice.

The temperature started to rise a little, the wind was still cool, and the slight dampness no longer made people feel sticky.

It's very pleasant.

He Shuyao and Jiang Qi leaned against the railing, chatting and laughing about something.

"A Zhao?"

"?"

"Look at them, they're stunned."

"—I'm looking at the scenery."

"Fine, whatever you say." Chen Nian said, then leaned closer. "By the way, you don't have QQ yet?"

"Is that right?"

This is quite an unexpected problem.

QQ, something that is both incredibly familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

In his previous life, Li Zhao didn't get his first QQ account until the second semester of his first year of junior high school when he bought that broken computer. Countless memories and teenage thoughts were recorded in it until WeChat became popular in high school.

It seems a high school classmate got Li Zhao to use WeChat, and afterwards, he basically only used WeChat. After starting work, he used WeChat for chatting and a variation of WeChat for business.

QQ seems to have become something exclusively for young people.

It also became Li Zhao's memoir of youth.

Li Zhao thought he would never look back at the once wildly popular QQ Space, since almost no friends had posted anything there.

Twenty years later, QQ Space held a "On This Day" event—Li Zhao happened to be expanding some business in the north during that period and was surprised to find that some places didn't use WeChat much. Then he saw the words left by his teenage self.

Tsk.

It was so awkward it made his scalp tingle.

I was completely defeated after reading only a few articles.

"No one can defeat me except myself!"

"Go for it, Li Zhao! Work hard for everything you aspire to!"

"That's it, my heart is really tired—"

Master, please stop chanting.

However, none of these things have appeared yet.

"A Zhao?————"

"?"

"You can get lost in thought again right away?" Chen Nian asked incredulously.

"Um—I don't have a computer yet. But my dad promised to buy me one after the entrance exam for junior high school."

"Will it be too late to add classmates back then?" Chen Nian asked.

"I'll definitely come—" Li Zhao's words came to an abrupt halt.

It's quite possible that it won't be enough time.

Before leaving the elementary school, everyone felt they had a good relationship and would hold elementary school reunions even after they started working.

In reality, after entering junior high school, everyone is cultivating their own new circle of friends. Once the junior high schools are different, the contact is basically reduced to a few casual chats with little memorable details.

Like Li Zhao in his previous life, he didn't get QQ until the first year of junior high school. Of all his classmates in elementary school, he only added Chen Nian and He Shuyao.

He Shuyao only added him because they went to the same junior high school —

Even if he was actually in the class group, that group was only active during the summer before the transition from elementary to middle school, and without any catalyst, very few people would actively add anyone in the group.

"Whether it's too late or not doesn't matter," Li Zhao said honestly. "I'm not going to add just anyone."

"So who would you add?"

"We'll talk about that later."

"How about I register one for you first? Some classmates want to add you on QQ."

I knew it was you, kid!

Li Zhao laughed, "You old rascal, who's looking for you?"

"I'm not some old wine anymore!" Chen Nian reacted strongly to this statement.

"Okay, okay, Brother Nian."

"I'm the sixth one!"

Li Zhao almost lost his composure.

Ah, being the sixth oldest isn't a good title.

How many normal nicknames will the future of the internet destroy?

"Ah Zhao, I definitely have to keep this a secret for them, right?"

"It's actually quite easy to guess."

"Don't guess, don't guess. I'll apply for it for you and see if I can snag a good number."

Number?

Li Zhao had truly forgotten what his QQ number was in his previous life.

"Ah Zhao, if I register a five-figure account for you, you'll have to thank me properly."

Li Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, good luck then."

The next day, Chen Nian wrote a mysterious nine-digit QQ number on a sticky note and handed it to Li Zhao.

The numbers are easy to remember.

"I'm sorry to have disappointed you. I only managed to get a nine-figure sum, just a little short."

You call this "almost there"?

"But Chen Nian, have you ever thought about this?"

"What?"

"I won't get a computer until summer vacation. Even if you apply for one for me now, I still won't be able to use it."

Chen Nian confidently shook his head and waved his hand, patting the note in Li Zhao's hand. "Zhao, there are times when you don't expect things. I can use it for you for now!"

Li Zhao was rarely this speechless.

"What?"

He actually asked a question in return!

Li Zhao didn't even know how to complain.

"I'm helping you gain experience points, you should thank me!"

oh----

QQ level —

It seems to be something very important to elementary school students.

Anyone who has the sun is truly remarkable.

"I also gave you some diamonds. You'll see when you log in; your level will increase faster than others while AFK!"

Li Zhao had never seen Chen Nian so arrogant.

Pure friendship. Happiness +1, Total 13
