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

These words were spoken.

The previously noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

Other students who were further away also put down their pens or headphones and quietly looked over.

There is only one exception.

That was Lin Qingxue.

She remained seated, her back to the crowd.

But no one saw that she stopped making annotations on the test paper with her pen.

Feeling the gazes directed at me from all around.

Chen Jianji's smile gradually froze on his face.

Good grief, he originally just wanted to watch others make a fool of themselves.

Who would have thought that he would be the one watching the show!

Chen Jianji fell silent for a long while before slowly speaking.

"Unrelated."

Upon hearing this...

The classroom suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

All the students sensed the unusual coldness in his tone.

Someone was about to ask another question.

But just then...

A cold, clear voice rang out.

"Class is starting. Everyone, take your seats, keep quiet, and begin your self-study."

I heard a sound.

Everyone turned to look at Lin Qingxue, who was standing at the desk next to the podium with a book, at some point in time.

Someone couldn't help but say.

"Squad leader, the bell hasn't rung yet..."

But he hadn't finished speaking.

Ring ring...

The ringtone sounded urgently and with great penetrating force.

The man opened his mouth, but didn't say anything more.

As the class monitor, Lin Qingxue was assigned by the teacher to study by the podium when Lin Qingxue was not present, and to keep an eye on the discipline of the evening study session.

This has become a habit in the class.

Upon hearing the bell, everyone scattered from the corners.

After a rare moment of relaxation and entertainment, I refocused on my studies.

Chen Jianji also opened Zhang Ziliang's brand new exercise book, ready to start from the first page.

But just as he was about to put pen to paper...

Lin Qingxue suddenly walked to his desk, holding a test paper in her hand.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice, though calm, carried a hint of coldness.

"I've already marked the solutions for the questions you got wrong. Try them first, and ask me if you don't understand."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she still didn't wait for anyone to reply, as if she were just giving a notification.

He turned around and sat down at the desk next to the podium.

It was as if what I had just done was a trivial matter.

Chen Jianji stared blankly at the exam paper on the table for a moment.

In the past, Lin Qingxue would tutor him in these matters or bring him breakfast.

She kept everything as secret as possible, trying to make it seem to everyone that she was still rejecting herself.

But right now.

She walked over to me in front of everyone and handed me the exam paper.

"Brother Ji, what's going on with Lin Qingxue?"

Zhang Ziliang unfolded his textbook, held it upright, and whispered quietly.

"Why does it seem like you've changed your personality? Did you hear me getting angry just now?"

Upon hearing this...

Chen Jianji then realized what was happening.

That's true. Lin Qingxue was still very young and inexperienced in high school, so she definitely couldn't stand others embarrassing her.

Subconsciously making some overtures is a win-win situation for her.

After all, although she was aloof, both she and Li Wenyan were short of money.

Although Lin Qingxue was alright, after all, she entered this high school with the highest score and was exempted from all fees.

As long as she doesn't order too much food, it's fine as long as it's just a meal.

But Li Wenyan is different.

Tuition fees and meal expenses are both essential.

Because he couldn't afford the dormitory fee last semester, he even had to ride his bicycle to a crossroads ten miles away to wait for his father, who made a living by driving a motorcycle taxi, to pick him up.

This semester, his situation has improved. He not only lives in the dormitory, but also eats a full meal every day, along with milk and fruit after meals.

And all of this was thanks to him, the sucker.

Li Wenyan is truly a master strategist.

Out of jealousy and revenge, she used her childhood sweetheart to hook up with a rich guy and reap the benefits herself.

And Lin Qingxue, who was always aloof, was actually willing to do all of this.

Chen Jianji really didn't know what kind of spell Li Wenyan had cast on her.

Just as he was lost in thought.

Suddenly, Zhang Ziliang nudged his arm.

"Hey, look who's here!"

Chen Jianji followed his gaze.

A slender boy with glasses and a refined appearance stood next to Lin Qingxue's desk.

It's Li Wenyan!

Chen Jianji's eyes flickered, and he said calmly.

"Ignore me, I need to do my homework."

After saying that, he picked up his pen, lowered his head, and started doing practice problems.

......

When Lin Qingxue looked up and saw the person who had come, she was stunned for a moment before asking softly.

"Ayan? Is something the matter?"

Li Wenyan's voice revealed no emotion.

"I called you several times, but you didn't hear me."

Lin Qingxue put down her pen and rubbed her temples.

"Sorry, I was distracted while doing the problem."

Li Wenyan glanced at the blank notebook on her desk, his smile not reaching his eyes.

He pointed outside.

"Shall we talk outside?"

Lin Qingxue nodded: "Okay."

......

The corridor outside the classroom.

Li Wenyan looked at Lin Qingxue, who looked even more beautiful under the dim light of the corridor, and suddenly spoke.

"You promised me you wouldn't get close to him again."

Lin Qingxue slightly raised her eyes, her long hair blowing in the night wind, obscuring the emotions on her face.

"Ayan, I've said it many times, I didn't, it was just normal interaction between classmates."

A cool, clear voice rang out, carried by the cool night breeze, and reached Li Wenyan's ears.

But this only added a touch of resentment to his eyes.

His eyes were burning, making him look exactly like someone consumed by jealousy.

"You dare say that in these past three years, you haven't felt even the slightest bit of special feeling for him?"

"Do you know how much effort I put in to get into this high school in my senior year?"

"You knew perfectly well why I came here, but what was the result?"

"When I arrived, I saw that you and him were practically inseparable!"

Looking at Li Wenyan's refined and clean-cut face, he was almost furious.

A hint of helplessness gradually crept onto Lin Qingxue's usually aloof face. She opened her mouth, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

But in the end, he said with a hint of helplessness.

"Ayan, I can't control other people."

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyan nodded and pointed to the classroom diagonally behind him.

"Yes, you had no choice, but did you ever refuse him before I came to this school?"

"Don't you know that not refusing is sending a signal to the other person?!"

"Lin Qingxue, have you forgotten our promise?!"

Lin Qingxue looked at him as he became hysterical, suppressing the anger in his eyes.

She couldn't help but reach up and rub her eyebrows and eyes.

"Then what do you want me to do? I accepted what he gave me, just as you said, but I will return it."

"He's helped you a lot, hasn't he?"

"Ayan, I know I was wrong. Please stop torturing me, okay?"

A soft sound echoed in the hallway.

If Chan Kin-kei were here, he would never believe it.

Even Lin Qingxue, who is usually calm and has little emotional fluctuation, would bow her head and admit her mistakes to others in this manner.

But Li Wenyan was still not satisfied after hearing this.

He gritted his teeth and whispered.

"That's not enough! I want you to swear to my face right now! Swear you don't like him!"

Lin Qingxue paused, and her hand, which was hanging by her side, twitched.

A helpless, bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"Ayan, is this really necessary?"

"have!"

Li Wenyan stared intently at Lin Qingxue, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

At this moment, this corner of the corridor fell silent.

The scratching sound of pens writing on paper seemed to come through the window of the classroom not far behind.

There were also faint whispers discussing the issue.

I don't know how much time passed.

Lin Qingxue raised her slender hand, her three fingers slightly raised.

A cold, clear voice rang out at the same time.

"I, Lin Qingxue, have never liked Chen Jianji, and I would never have had a relationship in high school."

"If I break this oath..."

Lin Qingxue paused as she spoke, but a strange pang of pain shot through her heart.

But she suppressed the emptiness in her heart and slowly raised her head.

The wind blew away the stray hairs on her forehead, revealing her eyes that reflected the faint light.

Her red lips were slightly parted, and her voice was very soft.

"For the rest of his life, he will be paralyzed on one side, confined to his bed all day, and will have no freedom to speak of."

......
