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

The door to room 1301 slowly opened as Liu Hai inserted and turned the key.

Chen Jianji stared straight ahead without moving.

"Brother Ji, let's go in."

Liu Hai whispered.

Zhang Ziliang also stepped aside, not daring to utter a sound.

Both of them moved very quietly.

It seemed they were afraid of disturbing the people inside.

To be honest, although everyone at school talked about Lin Qingxue behind her back...

But when they actually met them, these ordinary guys really didn't dare to make eye contact at all.

Chen Jianji observed the two men's cautious movements.

He knew it too.

Lin Qingxue's reputation as a cool and aloof academic genius is well-deserved.

During her student days, she was like the moonlight hanging high in the hearts of countless boys.

It can be admired from afar, but one dares not touch it.

Lin Qingxue also has this ability; she is very strong in both learning and other aspects.

Perhaps her family background is the only thing that is currently her weakness.

However, what Chen Jianji didn't understand was...

Lin Qingxue had promised to help him improve his score.

But she came to tutor in order to help Li Wenyan earn a living.

What's the point of bringing this up now?

I had told her before that I would no longer go to internet cafes or play games.

She bumped into it today, and you're not happy about it, are you?

She never cared when she could make a promise to herself.

He would simply say, "Whatever."

What's going on right now?

Chen Jianji took a deep breath.

He didn't want to think about those things that were in the past anymore.

Now, Chen Jianji only wants to be with Lin Qingxue.

To complete what the other person failed to accomplish in the previous life.

That means... a clean break.

Chen Jianji concealed the emotions in his eyes and slowly took a step.

Step over the doorway.

Passing through the entrance hall.

Finally, it appeared in the living room.

Chen Jianji's foot had just landed.

I felt a gaze upon me.

Chen Jianji looked up and saw Lin Qingxue sitting on the sofa, wearing a light yellow suit.

Compared to her youthful innocence in her school uniform, she exudes a gentle and graceful charm in a skirt.

However, her face still carried that indifferent and cold expression that seemed to have remained unchanged for millennia.

Her gentleness will never belong to herself.

Chen Jianji slowly stepped forward and walked up to her.

Lin Qingxue's hand holding the exercise book tightened slightly.

He had prepared his speech for inviting him up, but when they actually met, he seemed unable to utter a single word.

Chen Jianji had no idea what she was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

He simply sat on the sofa to the side and spoke first.

Liu Hai said, "You want me to come up here."

Lin Qingxue was about to speak.

"The next simulation will be soon..."

But before she could finish speaking...

Chen Jianji then interrupted.

"You keep an account book, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue was clearly stunned for a moment.

Then her fair and slender fingers curled slightly.

Chen Jianji noticed her subtle movements.

Ten years of getting along.

Chen Jianji was very clear about it.

This was Lin Qingxue's subconscious defensive action.

At this point in time, she remained very wary of herself.

How did you know?

Her voice was forced to be calm, but upon closer listening, it sounded somewhat tense.

Clearly, Lin Qingxue in high school was not as composed as she would be later.

It can be quite unsettling to have some of your secrets discovered.

Chen Jianji did not explain.

He found the account book when he was sorting through Lin Qingxue's belongings in his previous life.

She wrote down, one by one, the things she had given to Li Wenyan, and the things she wanted to return.

We must also repay Li Wenyan's debts.

Chen Jianji always remembered what Lin Qingxue often told her daughter.

You must repay what you owe others.

Between her and Li Wenyan, she was the other person.

Chen Jianji sat upright on the sofa, more formal and serious than he would be in any class.

"I also know that there are my accounts in there that you keep very clear about."

"Now, let's do the math."

Lin Qingxue looked directly at Chen Jianji.

The first time, I moved away with a somewhat deliberate evasiveness.

She sat up straight, her long skirt cascading down to cover her slightly raised heels.

"I didn't bring my account book, next..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Jianji interrupted her again.

"I brought it."

Lin Qingxue paused, and subconsciously asked.

"where?"

Chen Jianji reached out his hand to her.

"Paper and pen."

Lin Qingxue frowned, but spoke calmly.

"I only brought workbooks, I don't have any spare notebooks."

"Besides, I don't have time to settle scores with you here. I'm here to provide tutoring."

As she spoke, she was about to stand up.

But with one hand, he placed a blank notebook and a black ballpoint pen in the center of the coffee table.

Lin Qingxue paused, then slowly raised her eyes.

Then I saw Liu Hai's smiling face.

"Don't be shy, I have plenty of notebooks and pens at home, take your time and do your calculations carefully."

He spoke arrogantly, and his smile was radiant, revealing a set of white teeth.

Lin Qingxue stared at him for several seconds before sitting down again, her face expressionless.

"Thanks."

Liu Hai waved his hand, just about to speak.

Zhang Ziliang pulled him away from his side.

He muttered to himself as he walked.

"Who asked you to be so generous? You actually let them do the math, and then you're completely ruined!"

"But they have needs, don't I, as the host, have to accommodate them all?"

"What do you know? Sigh, it's exhausting to explain to you."

"Then why don't you go up and say it?"

"I..."

...

The two whispered words faded into the distance.

Chen Jianji looked at Lin Qingxue's increasingly indifferent face.

He picked up the notebook and pen with a calm expression.

"That's how my friends are: immature, sleazy, irresponsible, and they can't understand human language."

Chen Jianji said with a smile.

"Just like me."

He kept writing, muttering to himself.

"Don't worry, once the calculations are done, you won't need to force yourself to come to me to complete the transaction soon."

"Look, look."

Lin Qingxue looked at the notebook that was handed to her, remained silent for several seconds, and finally reached out and took it.

Seeing that she started looking at it seriously.

Chen Jianji pointed to the lines of equations and explained.

"Throughout high school, I can't remember exactly how much I spent, but I think I spent around five thousand on you."

"And the number of times you tutored me, calculated at 100 per hour, I would pester you to tutor me during the two evening self-study sessions, sometimes even until the third period."

"Plus, there's all sorts of chaos during breaks between classes..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Lin Qingxue suddenly interrupted.

"I used to charge 80 yuan per tutoring session, which lasted about two hours."

"It's only 200 per time now."

Interrupted, Chen Jianji suddenly remembered what she had said to Li Wenyan on the bus.

He said impatiently.

"Yes, I did take a kickback, okay?"

"So, aren't we already charging you 100 per hour? Shall we continue with the calculation?"

In fact, Chen Jianji made many requests to the agency, such as wanting a female student and wanting the location to be near a school, which is why the price was lowered.

There was no other way; he valued safety more than money.

Chan Kin-kei didn't want to argue any further; he just wanted to end things quickly.

Lin Qingxue looked at him, her eyes dark and unfathomable, and simply responded with a soft voice.

"Um."

Chen Jianji then continued.

"When you add up those fragmented moments, plus sometimes spending a whole morning on weekends helping me analyze test papers."

"All in all, it took about 53 hours."

"That's 5300, plus the breakfasts you occasionally bring me..."

As Chen Jianji spoke, he drew a line on the paper with the pen in his hand, and then put it on the table.

"In the end, you don't actually owe me anything. If we really have to calculate it, I actually owe you a few lessons' worth of tuition."

"So, you don't need to keep harping on this so-called deal."

Lin Qingxue held the notebook, looking at the hastily written and messy formulas on it.

Suddenly, she looked away and saw Chen Jianji looking relaxed.

After a long while, Lin Qingxue closed her notebook and said calmly.

"Since you owe me, you'll pay for my bus fare back to school later."
