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

"No...no, it was clearly this morning..."

Chen Jianji explained, somewhat bewildered.

But Zhang Xinyi was clearly not easily fooled; she narrowed her eyes.

"Didn't you say that last night, as soon as your phone died, you looked for his phone to text me?"

"How come it's this morning?"

Chen Jianji blinked.

Finally, he turned around and cursed at Zhang Ziliang.

"Didn't you break your phone yesterday?"

"How come it's fixed again?!"

Zhang Ziliang, who had been lying on the table, looked up again in a daze.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, his voice still a little hoarse.

"Oh, it shut down automatically because it ran out of power. I replaced it with a battery that didn't have much power left either."

As Zhang Ziliang was speaking, just as he was about to lie down and go back to sleep, he added another sentence.

"My phone is a Nokia, it won't break if you drop it."

Chen Jianji froze for a moment.

I felt a chilling gaze coming from behind me.

He calmly turned around and pointed at his phone.

"Look, he admitted he fell yesterday. I thought it was broken, but it turns out there was no electricity. Look at the mess this has made."

Zhang Xinyi stared at him, a soft grinding sound emanating from her teeth.

"Chan Kin-kei!"

"Hey, stop hitting him! Seriously, he already admitted it!"

...

The cheerful march music continued to play over the loudspeaker.

The students in the classroom were chatting idly.

Until a series of commotions came from behind the corner.

This drew everyone's attention.

But it didn't take long.

A loud voice rang out from the classroom doorway.

"Chen Jianji, Zhang Xinyi".

The activity in the corner suddenly stopped.

Almost everyone looked up at the doorway.

Even Chen Jianji and Zhang Xinyi are no exception.

There stood the homeroom teacher, Huang Ting, with her brows furrowed.

"You two come out here for a moment."

After saying that, Huang Ting turned around and went to wait in the stairwell outside.

The classroom fell silent.

Zhang Xinyi quickly put away the book, her expression somewhat tense.

Seeing this, Chen Jianji offered words of comfort.

"It's nothing, it must be something that happened in the boys' dormitory yesterday."

"The morning reading session hasn't even started yet, and the teacher isn't interfering with student interactions during break time."

"Who's interacting with you!"

Zhang Xinyi, who had clearly calmed down considerably, glared at him.

Chen Jianji just smiled.

"Let's go, it's alright."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out.

Seeing this, Zhang Xinyi lowered her head and followed in a sullen manner.

Feeling the strange gazes around her, she lowered her head even further.

Until the two of them walked outside.

Only then did the students in the class begin to whisper among themselves.

"Hey, do you guys think they're dating and got caught by the teacher?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Xinyi has only been here for a few days!"

"You know Brother Ji, he's got a silver tongue and all sorts of tricks up his sleeve, and Xin Yi is a city girl..."

...

Wang Jiaqi cautiously looked to the side.

This started from the faint sounds of Chen Jianji playing around that I heard from behind.

The class monitor had hardly ever flipped through the application form.

Until now, discussions have arisen around us.

Lin Qingxue's face was clearly expressionless.

But Wang Jiaqi inexplicably felt the air pressure around her suddenly drop.

"Jiaqi, it's time to go back to morning reading."

Lin Qingxue closed her college application form, picked up a Chinese textbook, and stood up, her voice calm and indifferent.

"Oh, okay..."

Wang Jiaqi subconsciously responded, then stepped over the gap she had created and walked out.

Lin Qingxue slowly walked onto the podium and addressed the students below.

"Let's begin morning reading."

As soon as he finished speaking, the school bell rang.

...

In the corridor.

Huang Ting first looked at Zhang Xinyi, and her previously furrowed brows relaxed.

"Xinyi, your school uniform arrived today. Please pick it up from my office before you go back to the dormitory."

Zhang Xinyi was a little confused: "Teacher, I haven't ordered school uniforms from the class monitor yet."

Huang Ting shook her head: "I forgot before, but I checked your records last night when the principal held a meeting with us. With your grades, you are exempt from tuition and all other fees to attend school."

"School uniforms are included."

"I see..."

"Okay, you go back to your morning study session first. I have something to discuss with Chen Jianji."

"it is good."

Zhang Xinyi glanced at Chen Jianji before slowly leaving.

Until she walked into the classroom.

Huang Ting then asked.

"You and Xinyi are so familiar with each other?"

Chen Jianji smiled and said, "She's my cousin, of course we're familiar with each other."

These words were spoken.

Huang Ting's expression froze.

The long list of advice I had prepared for students against early romantic relationships was suddenly cut short.

"cousin?"

Chen Jianji nodded: "Yes, I used to hold her when I was little."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ting frowned.

"You're so irresponsible, then I won't talk about that. Let's talk about what happened in the boys' dormitory yesterday."

She spoke, then paused for a moment.

"We, the senior high school homeroom teachers, discussed it and decided to take a few subject teachers with a few students each to conduct a surprise inspection during your morning reading and class break."

"You also need to choose a few class committee members; we'll set off together later."

"This way, it won't delay your review progress."

Chen Jianji paused, then remembered that it had been the same in his previous life.

At that time in 2013, there was not much attention paid to students' personal privacy.

If this happened ten years from now, schools and teachers would probably face a lot of complaints if they did this.

"Teacher, it's not right to go through other people's things when the other students aren't around."

He tried to offer suggestions.

Huang Ting glared at him immediately.

"They can hide electrical appliances; if they were there, would the teacher be allowed to search them?"

"Besides, if I were to find contraband in front of them, wouldn't they get even more criticism?"

Chen Jianji received a few words of reprimand, but still offered his advice again.

"How about we have each dormitory send a representative to accompany the teacher during the inspection? That wouldn't be against the rules, and it would be more formal, wouldn't it?"

Huang Ting hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, this is no small matter. The principal takes it very seriously. What if you two cover for each other?"

"It's settled then. Call a few class committee members: Wang Jiaqi, Pan Shuqi, Zhao Yong, and Lin..."

She was about to mention Lin Qingxue, but remembering how absent-minded the child had been last night, she stopped herself from speaking.

"Just you and these three class committee members, two boys and two girls, you don't take sides with anyone."

"Alright, go tell them to wait for me at the entrance of the teaching building. Start by checking the girls' dormitory."

As Huang Ting finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Chen Jianji, watching her retreating figure, called out, "Teacher, I'm not a class committee member!"

But Huang Ting ignored him.

Chen Jianji could only feel helpless; he really didn't want to go.

How could he possibly do something like rummaging through other people's belongings?

"Hey, Wang Jiaqi, Pan Shuqi, Zhao Yong, you teachers are looking for us!"

Chen Jianji called out towards the classroom door.

"That's so sudden, is something wrong?"

Wang Jiaqi looked up and asked.

"Good thing."

Chen Jianji smiled but remained silent.

He dared not say it directly, otherwise the class would be in an uproar.

Although everyone will find out soon...

In his memory, apart from confiscating a few electric heaters, nothing else could be found in the dormitory.

That's fine, it saves us from having to translate it much.

"Brother Ji, what's up?"

Several people came out, and it wasn't until they reached the stairwell that Zhao Yong couldn't help but ask.

"I went with the teacher to the girls' dormitory to check for prohibited electrical appliances."

Chen Jianji had just finished speaking.

Liu Yun just happened to run up to him.

I happened to hear that sentence.

"Fatty, you're finally late this time."

Chen Jianji made a joke.

Before the other party could reply, he had already led several people down the stairs.

Liu Yun turned around and watched their retreating figures.

He muttered to himself, slightly out of breath.

"Are you really going to investigate?"

She didn't care, since she hadn't used any prohibited appliances, just a lot of snacks.

He jogged back to his seat.

At this moment, everyone around them was whispering under the cover of morning reading.

"You said the teacher called Brother Ji out, and then called so many other people over to do what?"

"I don't know, I feel a little panicked."

...

Liu Yun had barely sat down when she heard the discussion.

She subconsciously replied, "They're checking dorm rooms, checking for prohibited electrical appliances, what else could they be doing? Chen Jianji and the others are all going to the girls' dorms now."

"Huh? They're checking the girls' dorms? Now?!"

The girl who had just said she was a little flustered suddenly stood up and exclaimed.

The morning reading in the classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone looked over.

Even Lin Qingxue, who was leading the reading, stopped.

The hand holding the book froze instantly!
