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

Chapter 19 The Quiet Evening Study Session

The red motorcycle crossed the city roads and entered the wilderness.

It let out a fierce roar.

"Hey kid, hold on tight."

The whistling wind kept hitting his face, making Chen Jianji's oversized school uniform flutter loudly.

Fishponds and fields rush past on both sides.

Chen Jianji's heart gradually grew warmer.

It was as if they had been trapped in a cage for a long time and finally gained freedom.

"Dad, let me take the motorcycle home!"

"No way! You're still a student. If we let you drive it back, your mom will kill us both!"

"You're putting on an act now, but every time before, I had to drive it back for you. You even said that kids in the countryside can be responsible at 12, so why can't they ride motorcycles?"

"Oh dear, things are different now. You're a soon-to-be college student, and our family's priority. We need to be safe and secure."

The wind howled, and the father and son were practically shouting as they spoke.

Chen Jianji's face was beaming with smiles beneath his helmet.

He shouted into the wind.

"Okay, once I get into university, I'll earn money for you and Mom, and we'll buy you a four-wheeled car. It'll be much more stable to drive that way!"

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, Mom and Dad will wait for you to buy it!"

Chen Guochang's hearty laughter echoed across the fields bathed in the golden light of the setting sun.

The motorcycle sped up a bit, kicking up a trail of dust from its rear wheels, as if all its troubles were being swept away by the wind.

......

Until the sun sets, the last rays of light on the horizon are swallowed by the night.

The motorcycle engine slowly made its way into a small hill.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

A small yellow dog came running up happily, circling around the two people on the motorcycle.

"Huh, Little Yellow is so tiny."

Chen Jianji got out of the car, took off his helmet, squatted down, and teased the puppy.

"You've grown so much already! You were just born when you came back to visit last month. Have you forgotten already?"

Chen Jianji smiled.

In his memory, it was ten years later, when Little Yellow was already a big dog.

Back then, Little Huang wasn't like the robust and energetic boy he is now. Instead, he would lazily nap on the hillside where he could see the road every day.

Only when its owner returns will it wag its tail and run forward so happily, jumping and hopping around.

"You're back?!"

Inside a bungalow not far away.

The courtyard outside the gate was brightly lit.

A woman wearing an apron and sleeves stood in front of the courtyard gate waving.

"Alright, stop petting the puppy. We've been waiting for you. Why are you so late?"

Chen Jianji then looked up and saw the woman.

He paused for a moment, then his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Fortunately, the darkness of night obscured the view, making it difficult to see clearly.

Chen Jianji stood up, wiped his face with his arm, and then called out.

"Mom! I'm hungry!"

Hearing her son's loud voice, Wang Suling smiled.

"Alright, if you're hungry, wash your hands and get ready to eat. Don't you have to go back to school later?"

Chen Jianji sensed the resentment in her tone.

This is a complaint that he won't even spend a proper weekend at home.

That's true, in the Chen family, Chen Jianji is the only child.

From childhood to adulthood, although my parents didn't show it on their faces, they always cared for me silently in their hearts.

I also want to spend more time with myself.

In his previous life, Chen Jianji spent all his time on a woman who never had him.

He even accompanied her as she left her hometown and moved to a big city.

From graduating from high school to going to school and eventually settling down, it took ten years.

I see my parents very infrequently.

Chen Jianji walked into the courtyard, turned on the tap, washed his hands haphazardly, and then stood up and laughed.

"I'm not going back this weekend; I'm staying to wait for your late-night snack!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Suling laughed and scolded him.

"You silly child, you haven't even had dinner, and you're already thinking about midnight snacks."

"Hey, don't sneak any food into the kitchen! Bring it out first!"

...

Class 3 of Senior Three, inside the classroom.

Just one minute before evening self-study begins.

Suddenly, a sound of rapid breathing came from the classroom doorway.

Inside the classroom, a few students who hadn't gone home for the weekend and stayed overnight heard the commotion and looked towards the door.

Liu Yun was among them.

She was working on today's math problems when she looked up and froze.

"Qingxue?"

The hurried figure at the door was none other than Lin Qingxue.

She quickly scanned the classroom with her eyes.

I didn't see that familiar figure.

He seemed relieved.

Lin Qingxue took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

He then slowly walked into the classroom, went to his seat, and put down his schoolbag.

Sitting in the back seat, Liu Yun noticed that the hair around her neck was damp with sweat and couldn't help but ask.

"Qingxue, why are you in such a hurry to come to evening self-study? Shouldn't you go back to your dorm to wash up first?"

"It's Friday, so discipline doesn't matter."

Lin Qingxue paused for a moment, then stuffed her schoolbag into the drawer as usual.

"Oh really? I forgot."

"It's okay, I'll go back and wash up after evening self-study."

As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the empty seat next to her.

The test paper was still lying flat on the table, with a workbook pressing down on one corner of the paper.

The errors were simply marked with a red circle.

Lin Qingxue didn't re-examine it either. Her markings were correct, but time was tight and the text was too simple. If one's basic knowledge wasn't up to par, they wouldn't understand it.

She came back early, waiting for Chen Jianji to come and ask her.

Consider it... paying off part of the debt.

"call..."

Lin Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her tired cheeks.

She hasn't had a moment's rest since school ended at noon.

Ring ring...

The bell rang.

Lin Qingxue rubbed her eyes, took out her notebook of wrong answers, and forced herself to open a page to look at it.

Soon, she became engrossed in the questions.

A self-study period ended quickly.

The already scattered students in the class were now even fewer.

Only two students were on the stage, waiting for the universal charger to fully charge their batteries.

Liu Yun, sitting in the back seat, yawned and patted Lin Qingxue on the shoulder.

"Qingxue, do you want to go back to the dorm?"

"I'll relax for a bit today, I'm sleepy."

Lin Qingxue shook her head: "I'm going to read a book for a while."

Seeing this, Liu Yun could only cheer up and say, "Okay, if the top students are working so hard, I can't fall behind. I'll persevere and keep up with you."

As she spoke, her eyes caught a glimpse of the exam papers on Chen Jianji's desk.

Liu Yun couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Strange, why isn't Chan Kin-kei here tonight?"

"Without him, the classroom feels strangely quiet and makes me sleepy."

"Could he really have spent the whole night at an internet cafe?"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Qingxue paused, her hand holding the pen still.

She spoke almost instinctively.

"He said he would study hard for the exam and wouldn't go to internet cafes anymore."

"The mock exam results just came out today, he'll be here."

"I see..."

Liu Yun nodded and said no more, continuing to work on her practice book.
