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

When Chen Jianji arrived at the convenience store.

The place is already packed with people.

In particular, many female students came out chatting and laughing, each holding a brand-new, locked notebook.

"This new product is quite interesting; it even has a lock, so it offers good privacy."

"The boss said that someone at the school had been depressed before, and the school was worried that something might happen. He thought he could stock up on some of these books so that students could write down their feelings in them and vent their emotions, which would make it less likely for anything to go wrong."

"But it seems like we girls are buying more of these. Don't the guys need any?"

"They're all brawn and no brains, what's there to worry about? We girls are the ones who tend to overthink things."

"Oh, I see. That makes sense. So what do you want to write about? Like, a boy who's all brawn and no brains?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense!!"

"Hahaha..."

......

The sounds of playful fighting echoed around and around.

It stirred up Chen Jianji's memories.

It seems that Lin Qingxue started writing her diary today.

So she bought it on her very first day selling it at the convenience store?

"Hey, Brother Kei, over here!"

Zhang Ziliang squeezed through the crowd, carrying a pile of items in his arms.

"Let's go, I bought a bit too much. You can sneak a peek while reading a novel later to satisfy your craving."

Chen Jianji glanced at the puffed snacks and sugary drinks in his hand and subconsciously shook his head.

"Never mind, I'm trying to lose weight and cut out sugar."

Zhang Ziliang was taken aback.

"No way, have you lost your mind?"

"With your figure and age, you've already started focusing on health and wellness?"

Chen Jianji then realized what was happening. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

He could say it was because after getting married, Lin Qingxue saw Zhang Ziliang gain weight due to his lack of self-discipline.

Did you tell yourself that if he lost his figure, there would be no more marital relations?

No!

"You go back first, I'll look around and see if there's anything else I want to buy."

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Ziliang said no more.

"Okay, fine."

Until he walked away.

Chen Jianji finally took a deep breath.

That's true, it's only been three days since I read that diary.

It's normal that you can't get over it right away.

After all, he had lived with Lin Qingxue for so many years.

I've been with this dog for so many years, I've developed a bond with it.

This is also normal.

Suddenly, Chen Jianji twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then I remembered the words Lin Qingxue wrote in her diary when she learned about Li Wenyan's wedding.

No, you can't compare her to a dog.

She's not even as good as a dog.

After gathering my thoughts.

Chen Jianji then looked at the rows of diaries on the shelves of the convenience store.

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and picked out a book.

"Boss, give me this one."

"Okay, 58 yuan."

Chen Jianji was somewhat surprised: "So expensive?"

The shop owner explained with a smile, "These combination locks are high quality and don't break easily, so they're a bit more expensive."

"Hey kid, you're not short of money, are you? You often buy snacks and give them to your classmates for tens of dollars each time."

Chen Jianji didn't reply, but simply took out his meal card from his pocket and handed it over.

It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but rather that he was somewhat surprised.

I was surprised that Lin Qingxue would spend so much money to buy a diary back then.

You know, these days in the cafeteria, you can get a meat dish and a vegetable dish for 5 yuan, and you can even get an extra chicken leg for 6 yuan!

58 yuan is equivalent to a week's worth of food expenses!

Lin Qingxue's family was poor, and she usually saved money by only ordering one dish and then eating it with dried vegetables she brought from home.

I can't believe they'd be willing to buy such an expensive notebook.

Chen Jianji walked out of the convenience store.

He kept stroking the diary in his hand.

The exquisite patterns on it, and the rolling combination lock on the side.

It was exactly the book that Lin Qingxue had been desperately protecting in her arms after the car accident.

Chen Jianji lowered his eyes.

Perhaps, writing in a diary is also a way to gradually get out of this situation.

Just as Chen Jianji put away his diary and was about to leave.

A passing student joked.

"Brother Ji, are you here to buy something for Lin again?"

"Keep going! Everyone's waiting for the day you catch up!"

Chen Jianji paused in his steps.

The whole school knew that he had been chasing after Lin Qingxue for three years.

Lin Qingxue found these people's jokes to be humiliating and embarrassing.

He himself is a person who only knows how to fight and has a long history of bad deeds.

But Lin Qingxue didn't even think about it.

She was the one being pursued, a goddess in a high position.

If we're really talking about being teased, then I'm the one who's the simp and the one who's been humiliated!

Moreover...

If I were really such a pure hoodlum or school bully.

Would these people dare to talk to me like that?

Chen Jianji looked at him and smiled.

"Then you probably won't be able to wait that long."

The group looked left and right, all of them completely bewildered.

"Hey, what's going on with Brother Ji?"

Chen Jianji ignored them and walked straight towards the boys' dormitory.

In his previous life, he didn't lose out either; in the end, he got everything he wanted by licking his boots.

And in this life...

Chen Jianji gently tapped the diary in his palm, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

Ten years have passed, and he's grown tired of it all—tired of the one-sided giving without receiving any response.

Since I've been given a second chance at life...

Who would still want to pursue her?

...

As night deepened, only a few people remained at the convenience store.

Under the old locust tree, there were still some figures faintly visible.

At that moment, a graceful figure walked into the convenience store.

"Boss, I'd like to buy a diary."

The shop owner, who was about to close up shop, turned around and his eyes lit up.

"Hey, isn't this the girl who's first in the grade?"

"You rarely come here to buy things, why are you here so late tonight?"

Lin Qingxue didn't say anything, but took out her meal card and some cash from her pocket.

"Let me calculate: you have 28 yuan left on your meal card and 30 yuan in cash, for a total of 58 yuan."

The boss guessed it with just one glance.

The other party must have heard about the discussions among classmates who had bought this notebook, and came specifically for this diary.

He waved his hand generously.

"It's just a notebook, consider it a gift from me, just take it."

Being first in the grade always means receiving more preferential treatment.

This can be seen as doing her a favor in advance, so that she will have a good impression of him if she becomes successful in the future.

Lin Qingxue still handed over her meal card and cash, speaking calmly.

"No need, I have enough money, you can just accept it."

......

the other side.

After Chen Jianji returned to his dormitory.

She lay half-reclined on the bed, set up a small desk on the bed, and placed her diary on it.

He turned to the first page, pen in hand, but still didn't know what to write.

Write down what happened in your previous life?

Since we've already decided to change our way of life, there's no need for that.

Write about the present?

But only a day has passed, and there doesn't seem to be much to write about.

Chen Jianji just stood there holding the pen, staring blankly at the page.

After a long while.

In his view, the diary seemed to have changed.

Lines of text appeared.

【2013.5.15】

He stood in the school cafeteria, holding a plate piled high with meat, and placed it heavily in front of me.

He said he accidentally overpaid and would treat me to a meal, his face still bearing that smug and self-satisfied smile.

...

Chen Jianji was stunned.

Isn't this... something he saw written in Lin Qingxue's diary in his previous life?

Almost instinctively, he rubbed his eyes.

The writing is still there!

Chen Jianji found it somewhat unbelievable.

He quickly picked up the diary, lifted the blanket of Zhang Ziliang, who shared the upper bunk, and asked.

"Zhang Zilian, did you see what's written here?"

Zhang Ziliang, who was watching anime under the covers, was startled. He looked at Chen Jianji, who looked anxious, and sat up instantly.

But when he saw the blank notebook in the other person's hand...

Zhang Ziliang looked at Chen Jianji with an expression as if he were looking at someone mentally challenged.

"Hey, are you having a crazy dream today? Or are you just having trouble accepting the decision not to pursue Lin Qingxue?"

Chen Jianji was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Zhang Ziliang pointed to the diary in his hand.

"There are no words on it at all."

"I think you need to get some sleep and recharge."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to continue watching my anime. I'll be done in 10 minutes."

After he finished speaking, he lay back down and covered himself with the blanket again.

Chen Jianji muttered to himself.

"Am I really seeing things?"

He held the diary and looked at it again and again.

Yet the handwriting remained remarkably clear.

"Lights out, go to sleep!"

Snapped!

The instructors continued until they entered the dormitory and turned off all the lights.

Chen Jianji put away his desk, but lying on the bed, he still used the light from his phone screen to illuminate the first page of his diary.

The words on it are still clearly visible in my eyes.

He was also confused, and just as he was about to put it away and see if it would return to normal after a good night's sleep, he realized that...

But just then...

The words in the diary...

Things are starting to change!

......
