Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Jiang Chengyu frowned slightly.

Given his personality, he would certainly not hesitate to help classmates with their problems if asked. However, the person in front of him happened to be He Ningqiu, someone He Ziyu disliked. With this prerequisite, the matter was a different story.

Jiang Chengyu parted his thin lips slightly, intending to make up some excuse, when a messenger of justice suddenly descended from the sky.

"I know how to do this problem too, let me explain it to you!"

Jiang Nanqiao walked briskly to He Ningqiu's side, smiled sweetly, and snatched the notebook from his hand. "Let me tell you, although the class monitor has good grades, I'm not bad either. Back in junior high, our grades were about the same, right, class monitor?"

Jiang Chengyu paused for two seconds, then nodded.

Jiang Nanqiao's grades were indeed good; he was consistently among the top three in his grade during junior high. As for why he ended up in Class 7 in high school, he wasn't quite sure.

He Ningqiu was furious that his plans had been disrupted.

Why did this damn class monitor have to come and offer his help now of all times? Is he cursed?!

Unable to hear He Ningqiu's inner grumbling, nor see his resentful glint in his eyes, the righteous Jiang Nanqiao continued to add fuel to the fire:

"Don't worry, Qiuqiu, math is my strong suit. Besides, we both sit in the first row, so we're close by. If you have any questions, just come to me!"

He Ningqiu: "..."

At that moment, he suspected that Jiang Nanqiao was an accomplice hired by He Ziyu.

"Let's go, let's hurry up, class is about to start." Jiang Nanqiao said, pulling He Ningqiu's arm.

He Ningqiu was pulled a few steps, but she was still unwilling to give up. "I see you're always helping your deskmate with his problems, which is already very hard work. If I were to join in..."

"It's okay, I love talking about problems. I get itchy all over if I don't talk about them for a day. To be honest, I'm especially itchy right now."

"..."

He Ningqiu wanted to say something, but her body was already carried away by inertia.

Jiang Nanqiao pulled He Ningqiu back to his seat, pressed his shoulder to make him sit down, and then pulled over a chair next to him to squeeze in with him.

"Something's not right with Qiao Qiao?" Jing Ran crossed her legs, looking like she was watching a show.

Although Jiang Nanqiao is a kind-hearted person, she would not say something as suggestive as "I am so itchy right now". In the situation just now, it was obvious that she spoke without thinking in her desperation.

Could it be...?

"She likes He Ningqiu?" He Ziyu asked the crucial question first. "That can't be, can it?"

Although the two had a good relationship in their previous life, they were just ordinary friends. Their friendship was established in the student council. Logically speaking, Jiang Nanqiao shouldn't have any feelings for He Ningqiu.

However, after his rebirth, many things have been affected by his changes, and it's hard to say whether Jiang Nanqiao will be affected.

Thinking of this, He Ziyu felt a little uneasy.

Anyone who falls for He Ningqiu is doomed. Although he didn't live to see He Ningqiu and Lan Yuan get married in his previous life, He Ziyu firmly believes that Lan Yuan's life afterward will definitely not be easy.

Perhaps, they will end up being used just like him.

"I can't speak for others, but Qiaoqiao is definitely a looks-obsessed person. Look at the two tags hanging on her backpack, they both say handsome guys." Jingran analyzed with certainty, "And your brother's looks, although not as good as yours, are still pretty good, it's normal for girls to like him."

While analyzing the problem, Jingran couldn't help but shower his good buddy with compliments, making him feel like a little genius.

Unfortunately, this flattery didn't quite hit the mark.

To be fair, He Ningqiu is indeed good-looking. Although he is not a handsome man at first glance, he has a rare kind of purity, like a soft little white rabbit, which looks harmless.

In his past life, he used his handsome face and his ability to deceive those around him with honeyed words and a treacherous heart to completely fool them.

Thinking that Jiang Nanqiao might also be deceived, He Ziyu immediately decided that he would take care of this matter.

……

"Look, this is how you solve this problem..."

At that moment, Jiang Nanqiao was lying on He Ningqiu's desk, calculating intently.

He Ningqiu's thoughts had long since wandered far away.

He wasn't actually interested in how to solve the problem; he just wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Jiang Chengyu. Little did he know that a group leader would suddenly appear, carrying a giant pendulum swing, and shatter his dream with a "bang."

"Hey, He Ningqiu, are you even listening?" Jiang Nanqiao looked up and saw He Ningqiu playing with an eraser with a blank stare, and immediately became furious.

She stretched out her index finger and poked He Ningqiu's forehead.

"You ask someone to explain the problem to you, but you don't even listen properly. What, only Jiang Chengyu can help you, but I can't?"

"No, it's not..." He Ningqiu covered her forehead, her voice weak.

This playful scene would seem heartwarming and loving to anyone who saw it, but in reality, only Jiang Nanqiao and He Ningqiu themselves knew what was really going on.

Needless to say, He Ningqiu is currently on Jiang Nanqiao's blacklist.

As for Jiang Nanqiao...

He Ningqiu is also on the blacklist.

These past two days, she's been secretly observing He Ziyu and Jiang Chengyu, secretly shipping them as a couple. But as she kept shipping them, she discovered that there was someone who was particularly annoying.

That person was He Ningqiu.

Actually, she felt that He Ningqiu was acting strangely during PE class yesterday, because when she helped He Ningqiu up, she felt that he was not very willing, and his eyes kept glancing at Jiang Chengyu.

At the time, she thought she must be overthinking it.

Until this morning, she witnessed He Ningqiu delivering breakfast to Jiang Chengyu.

That soft, weak tone and shy eyes immediately reminded her of the innocent, pure characters in BL novels.

However, Jiang Nanqiao was not one to label her classmates lightly. To confirm her suspicions, she secretly observed He Ningqiu and then saw He Ningqiu taking her notebook to find Jiang Chengyu.

In the past, she definitely wouldn't have taken it to heart, since Jiang Chengyu was a good student and helping his classmates was only natural.

But things are different now than they were back then.

Today, she's shipping He Ziyu and Jiang Chengyu as a couple. Whether it's real or not, she's really invested. If anyone dares to break up her pairing at this crucial moment, she'll definitely give them a "pampering" from the group leader.

"You, listen carefully, I'll test you during lunch break. If you make one mistake, you can forget about going home tonight!" Jiang Nanqiao tapped He Ningqiu's textbook with her pen, a sly glint in her eyes.

……

The teacher went overtime for the last class in the morning. After it ended, Jingran grabbed her meal card and rushed out of the classroom without saying a word.

He felt so angry in the morning that he didn't leave himself any of the many snacks. But a few hours later, he was hungry again, and his stomach was rumbling like a symphony.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm starving, I'm starving..."

On the playground, Jingran muttered to himself as he walked briskly forward, occasionally turning back to urge them to hurry up.

Along the way, they ran into some former junior high school classmates. Seeing Jingran's appearance, a few couldn't help but tease him, "Is Young Master Jing rushing to be reincarnated?"

Jing Ran parted his thin lips slightly, cursed "Get lost!", and continued to stride forward with his head held high.

"Do you think he'll get to eat the big chicken leg he's been craving today?" He Ziyu asked Jiang Chengyu beside him, watching Jing Ran's retreating figure.

Jiang Chengyu thought for a moment and uttered a single word: "Suspicious."

Although the No. 8 Middle School cafeteria offers a wide variety of dishes, the portions are not very large. If you go late, the popular dishes for the day will usually be sold out.

As for the large chicken leg, it is one of the best-selling dishes.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the window was already packed with people, and there were hardly any seats left. While the other three people were taking up seats, Jingran squeezed to the front of the window and took a look.

The iron plate that once held the large chicken leg was now empty.

Someone's heart instantly turned ice-cold.

On the other side, He Ziyu took out his meal card from his pocket and said to He Ningqiu, "Ningqiu, you can reserve a seat here, I'll go get your food."

He Ningqiu originally wanted to say no, but after looking around, she found that there were not many seats available, so she had to compromise and silently prayed that He Ziyu would not spit in her food.

While He Ningqiu was still lost in thought, He Ziyu had already started queuing up with two trays.

He wouldn't do something as disgusting as spitting into food, but he also wouldn't let He Ningqiu eat too comfortably.

"Auntie, two servings of curry, please."

"Okay~"

The auntie who served him was very generous. She didn't have the habit of flipping the wok, but with two quick slaps, the curry on the plate instantly piled up into a small mountain.

He Ningqiu hates curry the most, so today is the perfect day to let him eat his fill.

……

"My big chicken leg, oh dear..."

He Ziyu returned to the dining table and saw Jingran picking at the shrimp on her plate, looking miserable.

"The teacher is really something, why does he always have to extend class time before meals, making me lose at the starting line."

"It's just a chicken leg, look at you acting like this." He Ziyu smiled and placed the plate in front of He Ningqiu. "Ningqiu, try this curry, it's delicious."

"..."

Staring at the sticky curry on the plate, He Ningqiu gasped.

He had never mentioned to anyone that he didn't like curry, so how did He Ziyu know? Did he secretly send someone to investigate him?

But if He Ziyu really did investigate, then wouldn't all the secrets he's hiding also be...?

"There's no peach-flavored yogurt today, only strawberry flavor."

While pondering, Jiang Chengyu returned to the dining table and placed a small bottle of yogurt in front of He Ziyu.

"It's alright, it's alright, I love the strawberry flavor just the same." He Ziyu smiled and looked at Jiang Chengyu. "Thank you, Brother Yu, you're so kind."

"Pfft..." Jingran, who was eating with her head down, almost choked and quickly took a sip of 82 Coke to calm herself down.

But then...

"Jingran, you're drinking my Coke..." He Ningqiu pursed her lips slightly and pointed to the Coke in his hand.

Jingran was stunned for a moment, then realized that she had indeed taken the wrong one.

"I'm sorry, I'll go buy you another one."

He chuckled and scratched his head, about to get up, when suddenly something "thudded" into his plate.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a juicy, juicy chicken leg!
