Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

Their long, dark hair swayed gently.

The smell of gunpowder rose again in a small area, even stronger than before.

However, this time, no one noticed.

Zhang Xinyi looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared on her lips.

"Anyway, these past few days he's been saying he wants to go to the same university as me."

They didn't give a direct answer, instead changing the subject.

Lin Qingxue looked at the person in front of her, whose smile was ninety percent similar to that of someone else.

In a short time.

She felt inexplicably irritated, so much so that her brows furrowed.

But in the end, she didn't say another word.

He simply got up slowly.

I picked up the exam paper, turned around, and prepared to return to my seat.

But at that moment...

"Squad leader, someone is looking for you."

A shout came from the doorway.

The students who were studying in the class also looked over.

"Hey, isn't that the class monitor's fellow townsman?"

"He looked a little pale?"

"What happened?"

...

The surrounding chatter made Lin Qingxue stop in her tracks.

She slowly turned around and saw through the window the person standing in the corridor waiting.

It was Li Wenyan.

Lin Qingxue gripped the test paper tightly in her hand, her gaze unconsciously shifting towards the corner.

But then it abruptly stopped.

next second.

She lifted her leg and took a step, gradually walking towards the door.

at this time.

Sitting in the corner, Chen Jianji naturally heard the discussions among his classmates.

They also knew who had come.

Of course, I also know why he looked so unwell.

Others are unaware.

But Chan Kin-kei understands perfectly well.

The principal didn't call roll this morning, but the person who received a demerit was Li Wenyan.

If he continues to violate regulations while remaining at the school, a stain will be left on his academic record.

Even if he goes to university, he will most likely miss out on awards and scholarships.

"Alright, everyone stop whispering and get back to your books. Don't let others influence you."

On stage, Zhang Xinyi dutifully maintained discipline.

Chan Kin-kei also heard it.

It seems that the special treat I gave this young lady this afternoon wasn't wasted.

They've become quite adept at managing people.

This is what Chen Jianji discovered.

In fact, Zhang Xinyi knows everything, she just needs someone to encourage her.

Let her regain her shattered self-confidence.

Chen Jianji smiled and shook his head, then picked up his pen to continue practicing his problems.

But at this moment...

I sensed a gaze coming from afar.

Chen Jianji frowned as he looked up.

Then they met Li Wenyan's resentful gaze from the corridor outside the window.

He looked over there.

Li Wenyan was momentarily stunned and evasive.

But after realizing what had happened, she seemed to have given up and stared intently at Chen Jianji.

His intense resentment made his eyes appear bloodshot, filled with blood vessels, and turning completely red.

Lin Qingxue, who was standing in front of Li Wenyan, seemed to have noticed this situation.

She turned slightly and glanced back.

She paused for a moment when she saw Chen Jianji.

He then turned around expressionlessly.

At the same time, she took a step to the side.

It perfectly blocked Li Wenyan's figure.

Chen Jianji then slowly withdrew his gaze.

Regardless of whether Lin Qingxue was trying to protect Li Wenyan.

Or perhaps they took his advice to heart: "Mind your own business."

In short, this is good.

......

The corridor outside the classroom.

Li Wenyan looked at Lin Qingxue, who was blocking his way, his face full of indignation and resentment.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you think he'll speak up for me?"

"It wasn't like this before! Even if I said something wrong, he never minded and always helped me!"

"As long as he puts a good word for me on the court, Coach Li Junquan and I have such a good relationship, he definitely won't hold it against me."

"I won't get a demerit either!"

...

Listening to his constant grumbling and complaining.

Lin Qingxue rubbed her eyebrows and eyes, trying to soften her voice.

"It's just a demerit and probation at school. As long as you don't make any more mistakes, it will be revoked before graduation."

Upon hearing this...

Li Wenyan finally looked at her, his eyes bloodshot.

"And what about you?"

Why aren't you speaking up for me?

"You could have just asked the principal for leniency and resolved the matter privately, instead of making it public in front of the whole school and embarrassing me!"

Lin Qingxue patiently said, "The principal didn't say who it was, so you didn't embarrass yourself."

"What's the difference?!"

"Those who need to know will know, and those who shouldn't know will find out through rumors!"

"Go ask him what he really wants!"

Li Wenyan was almost growling, as if he were going mad after being unexpectedly judged.

Lin Qingxue quietly looked at the person in front of her.

After a long while, she finally let out a slow sigh.

"Ayan..."

Hearing her unexpected sigh, Li Wenyan's face stiffened, and he looked up to meet her eyes, which seemed to contain inexplicable emotions.

"I've already cut ties with him."

Upon hearing this...

Li Wenyan rejected it almost immediately.

"How could that be? Didn't you tell me you promised to help him get into university?"

"Only when you pass the exam can you feel at ease cutting ties with him."

"And this isn't even the college entrance exam yet..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lin Qingxue interrupted again.

"He doesn't need me anymore; someone else will help him improve his grades."

"Our seats have been separated as well."

Li Wenyan was taken aback again.

"So you don't need to feel upset because I'm close to him."

"We can treat him like a stranger now."

"From then on..."

As Lin Qingxue spoke, her eyes flickered slightly, and her soft voice continued.

"The bridge is the bridge, the road is the road; he goes his way, and we go ours."

Listen to what she has to say.

Li Wenyan stood still, motionless.

"Next, we only have one thing to do, and that is to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination."

"I've written down the solutions to the questions you got wrong on your test paper next to them."

Lin Qingxue reached out and handed over the exam paper.

"Since you've already lost face once, don't let it happen a second time."

Li Wenyan subconsciously reached out and took the paper covered with annotations.

He took a deep breath, suppressing all the emotions on his face, then looked up and forced a stiff smile.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

As Li Wenyan spoke, he put away the exam paper and turned to leave.

Lin Qingxue suddenly asked.

"Ayan, tomorrow is Friday, are you going home after school this afternoon?"

Li Wenyan paused, then shook his head.

"No, you don't usually reply. Why are you suddenly going back?"

Lin Qingxue rubbed her forehead and said slowly.

"It's nothing. I couldn't get through to home on the phone tonight, so I'm thinking of going back to visit tomorrow."

Li Wenyan offered a perfunctory and casual reassurance.

"Don't worry too much. Only your uncle has a cell phone in your family, and he's not very good at using it. He probably forgot to charge it."

Lin Qingxue nodded.

"Um."
