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

The next morning.

The whole school seemed to come alive.

The lively and rousing "Athletes' March" rang out on the school's broadcasting station.

A cheerful, rhythmic melody filled the entire campus.

The faces of the senior high school students no longer bear the heavy, expressionless look that used to be caused by the burden of their studies.

Instead, it was cheerful and lively, as if everyone had regained their youthful vigor.

Chen Jianji arrived at the playground and squatted in the last corner, watching the opening ceremony that had just ended.

"Brother Ji, you're so thoughtful, deliberately hiding in the back. It's been almost an hour already, and the principal really knows how to talk."

Zhang Ziliang, who was also squatting to the side, couldn't help but complain.

"Give a motivational speech; there's always someone who needs it. I understand, but I'm also annoyed even if they don't accept it."

Chen Jianji smiled, seemingly recalling the days when his own company held meetings and presentations all day long in his previous life.

At this time.

The court began to gather many players in sports uniforms, as well as teachers.

Chen Jianji spat out the grass in his mouth, stood up, and patted the dust off his clothes.

"Let's go to the court."

But just as he was about to take a step, he saw Liu Yun, who was also hiding in a corner in the distance and had not attended the opening ceremony.

You can see it from afar.

The other person was on the phone, looking anxious as if they were saying something.

......

"Qingxue, it's the school sports meet today! Why are you tutoring? Does anyone hire a tutor today?"

Liu Yun asked the person on the other end of the phone with some anxiety.

She didn't see Lin Qingxue when she woke up in the morning.

When they came out to the playground for the ceremony, she, as the class monitor, should have led the team, but instead asked Pan Shuqi to maintain order in the class.

"Yes, other high schools also have sports meets, and some people don't want to waste time, so they come to this institution for classes and pay a higher price."

Liu Yun paused, seemingly unable to refute.

After all, everyone's family circumstances are different. Lin Qingxue is going there to earn money, so she can't really say anything.

But Liu Yun couldn't help but say it.

"But today, Chen Jianji..."

But before she could finish speaking...

Lin Qingxue interrupted.

"I used class funds to buy a case of water and some cookies at the canteen. Remember to remind Pan Shuqi to take the class committee members to pick them up."

"She has participated in many school activities and knows how to organize them."

Seeing that she had changed the subject, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and quickly spoke up.

"He might play today, are you really not coming back to watch?"

Lin Qingxue on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

After a while, a faint voice sounded.

"There's nothing to see, and he can't play either."

"Remember to remind Pan Shuqi to pick it up; I need to go teach my students."

"Oh, Qingxue..."

Liu Yun hurriedly called out, but Lin Qingxue had already hung up the phone.

All I heard from the phone was a beeping sound.

"What's going on! Doing a part-time job during the school sports meet?"

"Chen Jianji has clearly helped Qingxue apply for scholarships in the past two years, shouldn't that be enough?"

Liu Yun muttered to herself.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind.

"What are you muttering to yourself here?"

"what!"

Liu Yun was startled and instinctively cried out.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when she turned around and saw who it was.

"You scared me to death! I thought the teacher was going to arrest me. Why did you walk so quietly?"

Chen Jianji walked up to her and smiled.

"Today is supposed to be a relaxed day, the teacher won't catch anyone, why are you so scared? Did you do something wrong?"

Upon hearing this...

Liu Yun suddenly remembered her conversation with Lin Qingxue.

But just as he was about to speak...

A clear, angry shout came from not far away.

"Hey! Where have you been hiding? You're the one who asked me to come, and now I've been looking for you for ages! Didn't you read my messages?!"

Chen Jianji and Liu Yun both looked over.

It's Zhang Xinyi.

Chen Jianji slapped his forehead.

He was so focused on getting a chance to play that he completely forgot about the young lady!

"My bad, my bad. My phone wasn't charged yesterday, so it wouldn't turn on and I didn't see it."

Chen Jianji stepped forward and apologized with a grin.

"I thought you weren't coming. What, you want to see me dominate the court, don't you?"

Zhang Xinyi spat at him, her anger subsiding slightly.

"Pah! I came to see how you get beaten to a pulp!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Jianji's feet.

"With your twisted ankle, it's questionable whether you can even play!"

Chen Jianji scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when...

A soft, questioning voice came from the side.

"Brother Ji, aren't you going to play?"

Chen Jianji looked over.

Suddenly, several familiar faces gathered around.

Wang Jiaqi, Pan Shuqi, and many other classmates.

The person who just spoke was Wang Shuxian.

Chen Jianji paused for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.

"It's not certain yet, but I'll definitely participate. It'll be the last session this afternoon."

As he spoke, he looked around at the people, blinked, and chuckled jokingly.

"What, you guys really want to see me play? Are you holding that water bottle for me?"

"You wish!"

Wang Jiaqi rolled her eyes.

"Who gave it to you? This is for our class's athletes, not you!"

Pan Shuqi, who was standing nearby, took two bottles of water out of the bag and handed them to Zhang Xinyi and Liu Yun.

"It's not just athletes; other students get a share too, but you're not given one."

Chen Jianji's lips twitched slightly.

"Aren't you just using this to settle a personal score?"

Pan Shuqi glanced at him.

The meaning is clear: Who gave you permission to expose my weaknesses?

Beep!

Just then.

The track and field stadium and ball court are not far away.

They each blew a whistle!

at the same time.

Cheers, shouts, and...

On the court, the sounds of basketballs bouncing and hitting each other filled the air.

Chen Jianji watched this scene, his fingers twitching slightly.

Then he asked the people around him.

"If I manage to get on the field and win the game, will I be able to drink this water?"

Pan Shuqi was just unscrewing the water bottle and taking a sip when she paused, puzzled.

"Didn't you just say you weren't sure if you'd be able to play?"

Wang Jiaqi chimed in, "We'll talk about it after you go on stage."

Chen Jianji looked at Li Junquan's figure on the court and said with a firm expression.

"I wasn't sure at first, but now I have to go for it no matter what."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhang Xinyi.

At this moment, the young lady was still fuming, holding her water bottle.

Even the expression on that pretty face was more sour than before.

Chen Jianji reached out and gently patted her head.

"You should get some rest first. You can go back to sleep or rest on the side, just make sure you're well-rested."

Zhang Xinyi slapped his hand away in disgust and asked in a muffled voice.

Why bother getting enough rest?

Chen Jianji laughed.

"Good luck with my game this afternoon!"

"How can I win without your encouragement?"

These words were spoken.

A commotion immediately erupted around them.

"Oh~~~!"

Feeling the gazes coming from all around.

And then there's Chan Kin-kei's cheeky grin.

A blush quickly rose to Zhang Xinyi's cheeks.

She felt ashamed, angry, and embarrassed.

Suddenly, he raised his foot and stomped down on Chen Jianji's left leg.

This foot is not injured.

Bang!

Chen Jianji dodged it.

Zhang Xinyi was even angrier!

"So, are you going to agree or not? They all agreed, didn't they?"

Chen Jianji continued to press for answers.

Zhang Xinyi was even more speechless.

They promised to give her water, but she came to do something as embarrassing as shouting encouragement.

Can this be the same?

Thinking about this...

Zhang Xinyi glared fiercely at Chen Jianji.

But in the end, he just turned his face away, snorted, and repeated what the others had just told him.

"We'll talk about it once you're in the game."

Chen Jianji's smile widened.

"make a deal!"

...

Listening to Chen Jianji joking around with his classmates.

Liu Yun thought about it for a long time before finally deciding to take out her phone and edit a text message.

[Qingxue, Chen Jianji said he will definitely play in the last match this afternoon.]

It's up to you whether you want to come or not.
