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

Ring ring...

The tedious yet inexplicably fulfilling evening self-study session came to an end with the ringing of the bell.

Chen Jianji looked up from the sea of ​​books and stretched.

Sure enough, as long as you focus on doing one thing, you can forget all those bad emotions.

Chen Jianji was packing his things.

Suddenly, he noticed Zhang Ziliang, who was still working on his problems next to him.

"Wow, not bad, you managed to last that long."

Chen Jianji leaned closer to take a look, and his face immediately looked a little strange.

"No, you've done this workbook for two lessons, but only completed one problem?"

Zhang Ziliang's face immediately fell.

"It's too difficult."

"As expected, the class monitor was right. I'm not suited to tackling difficult problems."

Chen Jianji patted him on the shoulder, then picked up his backpack.

"Alright, let's go."

Zhang Ziliang suddenly remembered something, and he took out several thick books from his drawer.

He then solemnly stood up and handed it over.

"Brother Ji, could you keep these comics for me? You can return them to me after the college entrance exam. Don't lose them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianji was somewhat surprised.

"Is it really that much of a determination?"

Zhang Zilian was most fascinated by these comics and anime series; I never expected him to go this far.

"Yes, I feel at ease leaving it with you."

As Zhang Ziliang spoke, his eyes seemed to brighten, and he couldn't help but continue.

"If you want to read them, these are childhood sweetheart stories, and the others are stories of unexpected romances..."

He seemed unable to stop talking.

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to look at yours. I'll give it back to you after the college entrance exam. You can look at it yourself."

Chen Jianji quickly interrupted him.

"I see..."

Zhang Ziliang watched with a regretful expression as he stuffed all the storybooks into his schoolbag.

"Alright, stop looking, let's go."

Chen Jianji slung his backpack back on and headed out.

Zhang Ziliang pulled a gray comic book out of the drawer.

"Brother Ji, you should go back first. I'm almost finished reading this book. Consider it my final memorial ceremony for today."

Chen Jianji twitched the corner of his mouth.

They even put on a ceremony.

"Suit yourself, I'm leaving."

As Chen Jianji spoke, he waved his hand and walked out of the classroom.

But before they had taken more than a few steps, a tall, thin boy stood up in another corner of the classroom.

"Hey, wait a minute, bro!"

Chen Jianji stopped in his tracks and looked back.

It's the sports committee member, Wang Li.

"Are you going to be a substitute and not coming to tomorrow's team training?"

Substitute?

Chen Jianji paused.

He remembered.

With the college entrance exam approaching, he wanted to spend more time with Lin Qingxue, so he didn't even play his favorite sport, basketball, much.

He, who had always been a starter, also voluntarily applied to become a substitute.

Chen Jianji thought for a moment.

He became a substitute, and someone else filled his original position.

Perhaps the other party is also waiting for this opportunity to showcase their skills.

Besides, my leg was just injured...

Chen Jianji looked down at his calves.

Tsk, it's just a minor superficial injury; it didn't even damage any bones or tendons.

In addition, with the band-aid on, there was no friction against the wound, so it didn't hurt much anymore.

Chen Jianji looked up and smiled.

"Go, why not? Substitutes are also competitors. I'll keep them in reserve. If you guys can't beat them, I'll step in."

Upon hearing this, Wang Li's eyes lit up.

"Okay, if you come, our chances of winning will be much better. I'll be waiting for you at the stadium at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"good!"

Chan Kin-kei readily agreed, then turned and left until he disappeared from sight.

Lin Qingxue sat in her seat, quietly looking at the now empty doorway.

Her position was right between Chen Jianji and Wang Li's conversation.

only...

He didn't seem to see it?

Lin Qingxue lowered her head and stuffed the notebook into her drawer.

Then she picked up her bag, slowly stood up, and walked to the corner of the classroom.

Wang Li was taken aback when he saw the person suddenly standing in front of him.

"Squad leader, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingxue took a bag of medicine from the side pocket of her schoolbag and placed it on his desk.

"The medical supplies were bought with class funds. As the sports committee member, you should bring them with you in case any classmates get injured during the sports meet."

"Oh...okay, class monitor, you're so thoughtful."

Wang Li smiled and agreed, putting the bag into his schoolbag.

After he packed up, he slung his bag over his shoulder and got up to leave.

But Lin Qingxue was still standing in the same spot.

"Squad leader, is there anything else?"

Lin Qingxue lowered her eyes, and after a while she looked up and said calmly.

"It's alright, you're preparing for the college entrance exam. Be careful during the competition."

After saying that, she tightened her backpack strap and turned to leave without looking back.

Wang Li stared blankly at her retreating figure.

The class monitor is always aloof and doesn't talk much; he only does things in a businesslike manner.

Why do you seem like a completely different person today?

......

Boys' dormitory.

After drinking another packet of cold medicine, Chen Jianji made a decoction.

I just felt warm all over.

He lay half-reclined on the bed, set up a desk on the bed, and picked up a fully charged nightlight.

Chen Jianji looked at the complete set of equipment.

It seems that I bought the same model as Lin Qingxue back then.

When this thought came to mind.

Chen Jianji quickly interrupted his thoughts.

We've settled everything, so why am I still thinking about her?

Chen Jianji shook his head.

Just consider it a normal withdrawal reaction.

After all, she had truly invested ten years of her feelings.

It's impossible to clean it completely in an instant.

Chen Jianji took out his workbook.

After doing just a few simple questions.

He just couldn't write anymore.

My mind is wandering to random thoughts.

For example, my cousin Zhang Xinyi.

It seems like I'll be transferred to the next class on Monday, the day after tomorrow.

For example, he remembered that there was a very good breakfast shop outside the school at that time, but it has been closed for many years.

As Chen Jianji pondered, he vaguely recalled Lin Qingxue again.

Lin Qingxue in her previous life also said that he could never calm down and was very noisy.

If you really can't stay idle, go to the gym.

Chen Jianji listened to this advice and has maintained his fitness routine ever since.

It wasn't until later that he realized that Lin Qingxue was just trying to get him to do something else so as not to bother her.

Snapped!

Chen Jianji patted his head to bring his thoughts to a stop.

He used to not easily overthink these things at night.

It can only be said that the shadow cast on him by Lin Qingxue over the past ten years has indeed been quite significant.

Chen Jianji picked up the schoolbag next to him, unzipped it, and looked for something to look at.

He slept for too long today and is not sleepy at all, so he can only try to distract himself.

What came into view was a pile of narcissistic stories by Zhang.

And that diary.

Chen Jianji paused.

He remained silent for a long time before finally taking out his diary and placing it on his desk.

The soft light from the nightlight fell gently onto the beautifully packaged cover.

Chen Jianji gently stroked the cover with his hand, and then slowly opened it.

One page, two pages, three pages.

The content slowly emerged.

【2013.5.17】

With less than a month until the college entrance exam, Ayan has eaten a lot of the food he brought throughout his senior year, so his nutrition is already adequate. Hopefully, Ayan won't be so anxious anymore.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, and those familiar yet painful words.

Chen Jianji subconsciously touched his chest.

Thankfully, I don't feel anything anymore.

Chen Jianji looked at the diary and waited quietly.

The next second, the content on the page disappeared, and new content slowly appeared.

【2013.5.17】

With little time left before the college entrance exam, the closer the deadline, the more unexpected things can happen.

For example, I have to tutor to earn money for Ayan's living expenses, which means I have even less free time.

For example, Ah Yan and I had a bit of a disagreement, and I don't know what he'll do this week.

...

The brush touched this spot, leaving a blot of ink.

Chen Jianji paused.

Did she have a falling out with Li Wenyan?

I suppose it's because the tutor encountered me.

Unexpectedly, Li Wenyan has a rather strong desire for control at this moment.

I wonder if he would have been devastated in his previous life if he had known he was married to Lin Qingxue.

Chen Jianji shook his head, put his thoughts aside, and continued reading.

For example, there's always that one person whose very appearance inexplicably triggers my irritation.

This makes it hard for me to concentrate on studying, I...

I really hate him...

......
