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

The classroom of Senior Three (3) gradually became lively.

Chen Jianji was also awakened by the noise.

Until I felt someone pushing my shoulder.

"kindness?"

Chen Jianji slowly got up.

He rubbed his still blurry eyes and turned his head to look over.

Visibility gradually improved.

A familiar little face appeared in front of him.

Chen Jianji yawned, then laughed.

"Good morning, Miss."

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes at him.

"What do you mean 'early'? It's only about time for evening self-study. If you sleep so long, do you even need to sleep at night?"

As she spoke, she paused, noticing the bloodshot veins in Chen Jianji's eyes, and then asked somewhat awkwardly.

"Um... are motion sickness medications really that bad for your health?"

Chen Jianji nodded, then shook his head.

"My family had prepared some for me before, but I didn't really like eating it. Even though I rested today, I still felt groggy the next day."

As he spoke, he suddenly changed the subject, raising an eyebrow at Zhang Xinyi.

"But it also depends on who gave it to you."

"For example, this time, I just took a simple nap and I was fully recharged!"

"Let's do ten practice tests together tonight!"

"Tsk, you're so lucky. If you're going to do it, do it yourself."

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips.

"Hehe, just kidding."

Chen Jianji stretched his body, and his joints cracked and popped.

At this moment, he felt completely relaxed, as if the taut, misaligned string in his body had finally been straightened.

gurgle...gurgle...

Zhang Xinyi, who was picking up a book to read, was taken aback.

What was that sound?

Chen Jianji laughed.

I'm a little hungry.

"You didn't eat? Where's your chicken soup?"

Zhang Xinyi frowned.

"That soup was too oily. I didn't want to drink it when I first arrived. If it were now, it would be cold, and I wouldn't be able to bring myself to drink it."

"It's okay, I have some food here, the stuff you bought last time."

As Chen Jianji spoke, he took the bag of small cakes out of the drawer.

He tore open the packaging and took a bite.

"Yes, it has to taste like this. You made the right purchase."

Zhang Xinyi watched him swallow food after food, without any enjoyment, as if it were just dry rations.

He couldn't help but frown.

"You just started taking your medication not long ago, so don't force yourself to eat this greasy food if you can't stomach it."

"Besides, I didn't buy it."

"what?"

Chen Jianji paused, then asked, "Didn't you buy it on Friday?"

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes: "I went home with you on Friday, where would we go to the shop? I just got back today with so much stuff, there's even less need for us to go."

Chen Jianji was stunned.

Zhang Xinyi suddenly remembered the letter they had discussed in the dormitory and what secret thoughts they had been hiding, and couldn't help but ask.

"Could it be that someone in your class is secretly watching you and brought this for you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianji blinked.

Then he put down what he was holding.

"I knew this tasted off! Turns out it wasn't bought by the angel sitting next to me. I'm not eating it!"

"Pooh!"

Zhang Xinyi was enraged by his words.

Chen Jianji also smiled and leaned against the back wall.

Suddenly, his arm was touched again.

"Huh? What?"

Chen Jianji looked over.

Zhang Xinyi opened her schoolbag and handed over a piece of mung bean cake.

"Want some or not?"

Chen Jianji blinked, then suddenly laughed.

"Eat, of course we have to eat! The food we bring from home is the best."

"But why did you keep this? Didn't you say you were going to give it away?"

"What about beef jerky?"

"Oh, someone else wanted it, so I gave it to them. It's delicious too."

"So generous!"

"Hmph, you're only just realizing that?"

...

The two bickered intermittently.

Chen Jianji munched on a mung bean cake with relish.

Suddenly, Zhang Xinyi pointed out the window and whispered.

"Look, it's Li Wenyan. Why is he in such a hurry?"

Chen Jianji swallowed the remaining half of the mung bean cake, then looked up at her, following her finger.

......

The hallway outside the classroom.

Li Wenyan excitedly led Lin Qingxue to a secluded corner.

"Xiaoxue, I received a letter from someone!"

"See, I'm not as bad as others say. People do notice me!"

Lin Qingxue nodded and offered words of comfort and encouragement.

"Well, you weren't bad to begin with, it's just that many..."

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"Buried by worries."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyan gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaoxue, don't worry, I will keep my promise to you. I'm slowly adjusting myself."

As he spoke, he handed over the letter.

"But the writing on this is so messy, I can't really understand it."

"I can only understand some of it. For example, here it says that they believe in my ability to get into Nanjing University and want to wait for me there."

"Nanjing University is a 985 university, do people think I'm that capable?"

Lin Qingxue paused for a moment.

"Hmm? Let me see?"

She reached out and took the letter.

What came into view was a sheet of paper covered with scribbles that looked like ghost characters.

The handwriting is messy and scattered.

If Lin Qingxue hadn't been familiar with Liu Yun, she almost wouldn't have recognized her.

The beginning was fine, but the end...

Please don't be anxious in these final moments, and don't go around talking to others about trivial matters. Just focus on your studies.

[Nanjing University's National Defense program is recruiting, and I think you'd be a perfect fit—perfect for the city wall!]

Lin Qingxue paused slightly in the hand holding the paper.

"So, what did you write?"

Li Wenyan rubbed his hands together and looked at her expectantly.

"Um..."

Lin Qingxue folded the letter and handed it over again.

"That means she's been watching you from behind the scenes. She's timid and doesn't dare to talk to people."

"She just noticed that you've been in a really bad mood lately, and she was worried that it would affect your college entrance exam. She didn't know what else she could do, so she could only write you a letter to encourage you."

"I'll ask you out one last time..."

Lin Qingxue gently stroked a corner of the screen with her fingertips, then turned her head to look towards the classroom.

He happened to make eye contact with Liu Yun, who was sitting in her seat.

The latter shrank his neck and picked up a book to cover his face.

Lin Qingxue slowly withdrew her gaze, meeting Li Wenyan's increasingly bright and flickering eyes.

She opened her mouth, and finally spoke calmly.

"Let's apply to Nanjing University together."
