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

Evening self-study in Class 3 of Senior Three.

The classroom was quiet, with only the occasional soft sounds of discussion about the problems.

Chen Jianji put down his hand, which had become numb from writing drafts.

"Finally finished, this set of questions was too complicated."

"I remember the college entrance exam that year wasn't this complicated, was it?"

Calculating this thing is harder than putting a child to sleep.

Chen Jianji rubbed his forehead, just wanting to relax for a while.

But he felt a gaze fixed intently on him.

He looked up.

Beside the podium, Zhang Xinyi was glaring at him.

The meaning is obvious.

You've already completed two lessons, and you're only just finishing now. Why aren't you bringing it up yet?

Chen Jianji's expression froze.

Wait, doesn't this young lady need to study herself? Why is she watching him all the time?!

Even with the college entrance exam approaching, can't we relax for a single moment?!

It seemed like they knew what he was thinking.

On stage, Zhang Xinyi casually held up a test paper with a score of 30.

Okay, no.

Chen Jianji swiftly stood up, grabbing his workbook.

Walk along the aisle towards the podium.

Zhang Xinyi then slightly raised her chin and curled her lips into a smile.

She put down her pen and tidied her desk to make room.

And this time.

Chen Jianji walked halfway.

But Liu Yun, holding a book, reached out and stopped him.

"Hey chubby girl, what are you doing?"

Chen Jianji glared at her.

Liu Yun glanced around cautiously and saw that no one was looking in her direction.

He then lowered his voice and said.

"Could you wait for me in the hallway after school? I need to explain what happened today."

Chen Jianji was about to speak.

Lin Qingxue, who was sitting in front, spoke without turning her head.

"Liu Yun, study properly and stop whispering to each other."

"oh..."

Liu Yun immediately shrank back, and her hand that had been blocking her way also trembled as she withdrew.

But with his head down, his eyes kept giving Chen Jianji meaningful glances.

Chen Jianji looked at her and said with a smile.

"You can ask me questions about your studies, but I'm not interested in anything else."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

All that remained was Liu Yun's blank expression.

"Ask a question?"

The girl sitting next to him overheard this too and couldn't help but stifle a laugh.

"I remember Brother Ji only got around 300 points, while you got over 500. What questions could you possibly ask him?"

Liu Yun, holding the book, muttered to herself in a low voice.

"Yes, why?"

"Seriously, they're all so stubborn and have such bad tempers."

......

The seats next to the podium.

"Young Miss, please change the score, have mercy."

Zhang Xinyi looked at Chen Jianji, who had placed the workbook on her desk with a smile.

She wasn't in a hurry to change the score, but instead asked in a low voice.

"What did she just say to you?"

Chen Jianji paused, then said, "Why are you suddenly asking this? When did you become so gossipy?"

Zhang Xinyi glanced at him.

"You were working so hard on your homework tonight, something's not right. Ask you what's wrong."

Chen Jianji chuckled wryly.

"Please, the college entrance exam is just around the corner, I feel the pressure too, I have to work hard to get into the same university as you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinyi wanted to laugh, but then couldn't help spitting out a curse.

"Pah, I don't want to go to the same university as you, don't curse me."

"This can't be a curse! What, you look down on me? I can get into Tsinghua University too!"

"Heh, if only your words were as tough as your skills."

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips and picked up her pen to correct the exercises.

"Hey, if you got the first question wrong, what's the point of taking the National Tsing Hua University exam?"

"No way! I calculated each problem three times. Where did I go wrong?"

"No decimal point was added here."

"Hey, Miss, don't slander me! Isn't this right?"

"Oh, I didn't see it."

...

The two whispered to each other on stage, their heads very close together.

Liu Yun, sitting in the audience, had no idea how others felt about it.

She just felt extremely uncomfortable.

She could only angrily turn her gaze away and glance at the back of Lin Qingxue sitting at the table in front of her.

Liu Yun felt like her head was about to explode.

In the past, she would do things conveniently between the two of them, happily reaping snacks in return, and watching them grow closer and closer, experiencing a strange sense of satisfaction in the process.

But all of this seems to have changed recently.

The tighter she pulled on the rope connecting the two, the more they ran in opposite directions.

Until the rope was pulled so hard it was about to break.

Oh no, it's already broken!

Is she still able to connect?

Liu Yun silently picked up her pen and started working on the problem.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Ring ring...

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of evening self-study.

"Finally, get out of class is over!"

Someone twisted their neck and shouted.

Liu Yun's heart, which had been tormented all night, finally couldn't take it anymore.

He suddenly stood up.

She quickly stepped forward and walked directly to Chen Jianji, who had just finished discussing and revising the questions with Zhang Xinyi.

"Come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you."

"what?"

Chen Jianji hadn't reacted yet.

She pushed him straight back.

"Fatty, you actually hit me? Did you get away with drinking my chicken soup for free tonight?"

"Never mind that!"

...

Zhang Xinyi remained seated and glanced at the two of them.

"What can't I listen to?"

She muttered something to herself.

Then she looked away and organized the vocabulary and grammar notes on the table that she had prepared for Chen Jianji to memorize the next day.

But just then...

A shadow fell.

Zhang Xinyi looked up and met a pair of calm eyes.

She was stunned.

"Student Lin?"

"Is there something you need?"

The person who arrived was Lin Qingxue.

She stared at Zhang Xinyi quietly for a while.

The latter also raised his head and met his gaze with equal force.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The class dispersed, leaving only the two of them in the classroom.

Faintly visible through the window, Liu Yun was anxiously speaking to Chen Jianji, who looked impatient.

at this time.

Lin Qingxue finally spoke.

"English is a subject that requires long-term accumulation. There isn't much time left before the college entrance exam, so you can't improve your score much in a short period of time."

"In addition, he is impatient and lazy, and often unwilling to cooperate."

"It's very difficult to even get into an undergraduate program."

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Xinyi raised an eyebrow.

Huh? Here to cause trouble?

She had just delivered a bag of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and the other party came to cause trouble?

Showing absolutely no mercy?

No wonder Wang Jiaqi and the others always said that the old Lin Qingxue was cold and unapproachable.

Looking at it this way, it's indeed true.

Zhang Xinyi looked at her and smiled slightly.

"Really? Then maybe our teaching methods are different."

"He's very enthusiastic about learning from me."

"He finishes all the exercises and practice problems I assign him immediately without me having to urge him, and he doesn't miss a single one."

Lin Qingxue looked away from her defiant gaze.

"Since he's willing to learn from you, he can spend some time each day memorizing frequently used vocabulary."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, which had been behind her back, and slowly placed it in front of her.

Zhang Xinyi noticed that she was holding a notebook that had clearly been used for a while.

"His comprehension and arithmetic are not bad, but he can't concentrate and plan specific practice sessions. If he cooperates, he can improve his scores significantly."

"Here are the points he hasn't understood or mastered. You can save time by not having to do random practice tests to assess his abilities."

Lin Qingxue spoke calmly, put down the notebook after speaking, and then walked away.

Zhang Xinyi frowned, turned around and called out to her back.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lin Qingxue paused, but did not turn around.

"I've delivered my message; whether you use it or not is up to you."

"What I owed him, I've settled the score."

"later..."

She continued walking forward, her voice soft and gentle.

"We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
