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

"How was it? On time?"

Chen Jianji was panting heavily, his body bent over, his hands supporting his knees.

"snort!"

Zhang Xinyi stood up.

"Two seconds too little!"

Chen Jianji was stunned. He suddenly looked up at the screen.

"You're talking nonsense! I clearly heard my phone ring as soon as I got back!"

Zhang Xinyi tilted her chin slightly, still dissatisfied.

"But you were standing in that spot for more than two seconds when you left!"

Chen Jianji was speechless.

"Do you have to be so serious, young lady?"

"snort!"

"What's so serious about it? You have to keep your promises!"

Zhang Xinyi pursed her lips.

Chen Jianji's rapid breathing has calmed down considerably.

He took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and laughed and scolded.

"You heartless bastard! I ran back and forth for you even with my injured foot, and you're still finding fault with me?"

Zhang Xinyi snorted, still refusing to back down, only her voice was a little softer.

"Who's finding fault with you? You set the time yourself."

"Don't you know if your feet hurt or not? I didn't rush you."

"Then how could you run so fast if your feet hurt? Are you really in pain or just faking it?"

Chen Jianji casually made up a story.

"Does it even hurt? I'm tensing my heels tightly. This strengthens the muscles and reduces pain. It's standard practice for athletes. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand, and opened her fair palm.

"Where's the school uniform? Where is it?"

......

Lin Qingxue stared blankly at the two people playfully fighting in front of her.

They didn't care at all about the other person standing next to them.

She didn't know why, but she felt as if a stone was stuck in her chest, making her feel uncomfortable.

Especially when I see it.

As Chan Kin-kei was about to untie the clothes tied around his waist.

"I brought it for you, this is it..."

Lin Qingxue's pupils contracted slightly.

Her body moved faster than her brain reacted; her lips unconsciously parted slightly.

The name came out of her mouth with an air of naturalness that also seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

"Chan Kin-kei".

The two who were playfully bickering were both taken aback.

Especially Chan Kin-kei.

I heard that familiar voice.

He paused.

When he ran over just now, he saw that another classmate was here as well.

But he didn't look at it closely.

He held his breath and ran back despite the pain in his feet.

until now.

Chen Jianji then slowly turned his head to look over.

really.

The tall figure stood quietly to the side.

It is Lin Qingxue.

Chen Jianji's smile froze for a moment, then gradually disappeared.

My whole body, which had been drenched in sunlight, gradually calmed down.

Lin Qingxue has a magical power over Chen Jianji.

She's like an emotional black hole.

No matter how much enthusiasm you put in, you can't see a single ripple.

Even after returning to high school, that youthful spirit gradually returned.

The moment I see her, it's as if I'm about to revert to my original form.

It's as if I'm still trapped in those ten years, unable to escape forever.

Chen Jianji took a deep breath and ignored her.

He just frowned and asked Zhang Xinyi.

"What is she doing here?"

"Oh, her."

Zhang Xinyi withdrew her hand and gently patted the hem of her skirt, which had become dusty from sitting on the flower bed.

He said it casually.

"She just said she could help me order a school uniform, but I told her you've already bought one for me."

"What about the school uniform you bought?"

As she spoke, she extended her palm again.

"Oh, you wait."

Chen Jianji withdrew his gaze and didn't look at Lin Qingxue again.

Continue untying the clothes hanging from your waist.

I tied it around my waist just now so it would be easier to run.

"Here, it's freshly dried, clean and hygienic."

Zhang Xinyi stared blankly at Chen Jianji's actions.

Until the other person placed the school uniform in his hands.

She then realized what was happening.

"This school uniform...is it old? Worn?"

Zhang Xinyi spoke with an incredulous tone.

She originally thought that Chen Jianji had some special connections at the school.

result...

That's it?!

"Yeah, you've only been at this school for a few days. Why bother spending over two hundred to order two brand new outfits?"

"The old ones are great, don't worry, I won't charge you, it's free!"

...

Listening to Chen Jianji rambling on and on.

Zhang Xinyi felt the veins on her forehead bulging.

She gripped her clothes with one hand and clenched her other fist.

"Wow, it's so clean. If you're worried, take a sniff; it still smells like sunshine."

boom!

Until I heard that sentence.

Zhang Xinyi could no longer hold back.

"Screw the sun!"

"Smell it for yourself, it's clearly covered in your sweat!"

She yelled as she threw her clothes at Chen Jianji.

He was panting heavily, his breathing as rapid as Chen Jianji's after his run.

"what?"

Chen Jianji blinked at the angry man in front of him.

He seemed to realize that he had lost his composure.

There's still an outsider here!

Zhang Xinyi froze for a moment.

Then she quickly stood up straight, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

She glared at Chen Jianji with eyes still full of anger.

I really don't know what's wrong with his brain; he always manages to do some ridiculous and outrageous things.

That's infuriating!!

Chen Jianji caught the clothes and said helplessly.

"You're mistaken, there really isn't any."

"Even if there is any, it will disappear after washing, and it will still be usable."

He wanted to say something more.

suddenly.

Lin Qingxue, who had been ignored by the two of them, suddenly spoke up.

"Zhang, if you order your school uniform now, it will arrive first thing tomorrow morning."

"Tell me your size now, and I can order it for you right now."

His voice was calm and gentle, revealing no emotion.

As she spoke, she took out paper and a pen from her bag.

Chen Jianji paused.

Zhang Xinyi glanced over instinctively.

She opened her mouth, but her initial firm stance against Chen Jianji's clothes now unexpectedly made her somewhat conflicted.

Suddenly, she recalled what had just happened: Chen Jianji bent down and told her to wait.

And then there was that limping, somewhat comical figure running away.

And, those warm, incredibly real, broad hands.

Zhang Xinyi couldn't help but glance at the clothes Chen Jianji was holding out of the corner of her eye.

That old school uniform seems... still quite new.

"Forget it...forget it."

Zhang Xinyi turned her head and glared at Chen Jianji.

An impatient voice rang out.

"I'll only be studying here for about half a month, so spending several hundred yuan on this is a bit of a waste."

"Although I have money, I don't want to let others make money for free; it's not worth it."

As Zhang Xinyi spoke, she reached out and took the clothes from Chen Jianji's hand, looking disgusted.

"Let's just use this for now!"

Listen to her complaining, yet she still hugged the clothes tightly.

Chen Jianji's lips twitched.

She seemed to sense his somewhat mocking gaze.

Zhang Xinyi blushed, but still held her chin high.

"Alright, I'm hungry!! Hurry up and take me to eat!"

Chen Jianji nodded helplessly.

"Okay, it's my treat. Eat whatever you like."

As he spoke, he was about to turn and leave with Zhang Xinyi.

But Lin Qingxue found herself standing on the path leading to the dining hall at some point.

She slightly raised her eyes, her cool and aloof face revealing neither joy nor anger.

She didn't look at Chen Jianji, but spoke to Zhang Xinyi.

"Zhang, order a school uniform that fits your size; it will be more comfortable to wear."

Zhang Xinyi stopped at her feet and looked at Lin Qingxue in front of her.

She was a little confused, since she had already refused.

Why would the other party even ask?

But before she could ask anything...

Chen Jianji stepped forward and shielded her behind him.

Then he raised his head and slowly looked at Lin Qingxue.

The summer breeze carried the cool air escaping from the classrooms and canteen.

The air dried the sweat that had seeped from Chen Jianji's body from running so fast.

It also gently lifted the hem of Lin Qingxue's slightly loose school uniform.

at the same time.

Chen Jianji's calm voice rang out.

"That outfit you're wearing doesn't seem to fit you well, does it?"

......
