Let's do it again, Yukino.

……

"Everyone has received their test papers, right? When the bell rings, please write your names immediately. If you forget to write your name, even if you did very well on the test, you won't get any credit... Hey, Kasuga, what are you doing?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that Haruhi Issaku, who was sitting in the last row, was sitting in his seat with his arms crossed, looking calm and collected, while frantically rummaging through his bag.

"Where's my pencil case? My pencil case?"

The boy, who had just been calm and composed, was now frantically rummaging through his schoolbag. The shameless boy lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Holy crap, I was just trying to show off, but I got slapped in the face so quickly? Are there any reborn people this shameful?

Even though there was still one minute left before the exam, a burst of laughter erupted in the classroom.

"Are you one of those idiot-type delinquents? I've noticed you've been studying diligently these past few days, what brings you here today?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but sigh, her lips trembling slightly. She didn't know what to do with this guy who was both annoying and slightly amusing. "Just borrow some from someone else. Not bringing any stationery means you're already doomed from the moment you stepped out the door."

The kind-hearted Nagato didn't turn around to look at him. Her slender hands were holding stationery. She threw her pencil and eraser at Haruhi.

I will never forget the kindness shown to Nagato, the secretary ship.

"It's Nagato Yuki!"

Nagato muttered a complaint under his breath.

In another classroom, a student named Yukino frowned as she looked at the proctor on the podium. After glancing at the two pencil cases, one blue and one red, in her schoolbag, she instantly understood what was going on and shook her head, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Is that guy really an idiot?

How could you be so careless after preparing for so long?

never mind,

She let out a long breath, naturally smoothed her long, flowing hair, and placed the pencil case that had originally belonged to the boy on her desk.

Let's send it to him after the first round of exams.

Xiaoxue thought with some pleasure.

……

…………

The bell rang suddenly.

The exam officially began, and the entire classroom instantly fell silent, filled with the sounds of turning pages and pencils moving across the spacious room.

"First, remember to write your name. The listening section is coming up soon, so make sure you read the questions carefully beforehand, okay?"

Compared to other teachers, Shizuka Hiratsuka is more responsible. Perhaps to ease the students' tension during the exam, she seemed to talk a lot today.

What the hell is this?

What the hell is this?

Holy crap, did I see these in the English study materials I reviewed before?

Calm down, I need to calm down.

After calming down from seeing the test paper, Chunri slowly began to analyze the questions. For him personally, the listening comprehension was much more difficult than the written test. In order to improve his overall English score, Xiaoxue, who also knew Chunri's weakness, let him listen to a lot of listening CDs that she had previously placed on the bookshelf.

Moreover, Xiaoxue had told the boy some important points about the English test in advance, so he could almost immediately understand the answers to many multiple-choice questions without even looking at the questions.

Soon, from the upper left corner of the blackboard, the speaker, resembling a black box, emitted a series of crackling electronic sounds. Immediately afterwards, fluent English poured out of that black box.

Chunri's hand holding the pencil trembled slightly, and then, his stomach, which he hadn't intended to have breakfast for, made an unnatural sound.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle——————"

"Spring Day, do you still want to take the exam?!"

Finally unable to hold back any longer, Hiratsuka Shizuka glared fiercely at Haruhi Kasuga, the veins on her forehead throbbing slightly.

Is this guy deliberately trying to annoy me?

The unnatural laughter echoed through the classroom again.

"You too, be quiet and focus on the exam!"

Hiratsuka-sensei shouted angrily, clearly displeased.

Absolutely terrible, absolutely terrible.

The test continues.

(P.S.: I went to bed early yesterday, so I didn't pay much attention to the comments section. I woke up early this morning and saw all those comments, which made me a little amused and exasperated. I'm just a small, new author, the kind of newbie who can't even change their profile picture to Shuke. There's no need for everyone to be so irritable, okay? If you like it, keep reading. If you don't like it or it's not well-written, just don't read it. There's no need to use so many insulting words. I've followed books before, and if I didn't like one, I just dropped it. Is it really necessary to hurt my fragile heart like this? OK?)

Chapter Eighteen: I Won't Let You Down

evening,

"Finally, the exam is over. I've been sitting for so long that my back is aching. It's been so many years since I've sat in a classroom to take an exam. And the exam was so long. We weren't even allowed to use our phones during the extra time."

"Um...when did you buy this bicycle that looks like it's from the last century?"

Yukinoshita, who had just come out of the Service Club, inadvertently bumped into Haruhi, who was pushing a bicycle out of the school gate, and frowned involuntarily.

"You're envious, aren't you? But I won't tell you."

As Chunri sat on his bicycle, looking at Xiaoxue, he felt relaxed after finishing a day of exams. When he ran into Xue, who seemed envious of his ability to ride a bicycle, he couldn't help but tease her.

Yukino didn't want to tell him that the bicycle was a birthday gift from his mother on his tenth birthday, a gift she had given him out of kindness. However, because he had never had a good impression of his parents who had abandoned him, he had kept the bicycle in the warehouse after receiving it. It was only today, when he almost overslept, that he had no choice but to take the bicycle out of the warehouse.

Although it's been sitting in storage, I still occasionally take it out for a ride to the countryside to relax in the spring.

How did the exam go?

As Xiaoxue pretended to brush past him, she slowly asked him in a low voice.

Perhaps it was because it was the time when school was letting out, and there were still students passing by in twos and threes from time to time.

"I won't go into how long the exam lasted, but the questions were still quite difficult. My brain is still like a computer that has just finished processing data, it's still hot."

"..."

Xiaoxue frowned slightly because the exam content wasn't considered difficult in her eyes, and there was a lot of it. She also remembered that she had prepared many of the difficult points for this idiot in advance.

"But I won't do too badly on the test, I'm pretty strong."

He touched his nose, and before the students around him could notice the two of them, he rode his bicycle up the slope and sped away into the spring, leaving behind a light and airy sentence.

"I'll be waiting for you at the corner of the intersection ahead, Xiaoxue, hurry up!"

Although Japanese traffic laws stipulate that bicycles cannot carry passengers.

But, being a delinquent, who cares?

……

…………

Ten minutes later,

As always, just like in college, Xiaoxue sat on the back of Chunri's bicycle without his permission. On the chilly street, the girl stretched comfortably.

"The exam questions this time seem a bit difficult for normal people, but for Kasuga-kun who has been working hard these past few days, it shouldn't be a problem."

She slung her schoolbag over Chunri's shoulder and said softly.

"Try to avoid crowded places."

"I understand. I won't let your classmates or relatives see it."

Yawning, Chunri gazed at the road ahead and casually replied.

"……snort."

Xiaoxue, who was behind, snorted unhappily.

"What are you humming about? I didn't do anything to offend you, Xiaoxue."

"It's nothing, you misheard."

The surrounding scenery rushed past them, and the charming and beautiful evening scenery appeared incredibly quiet and peaceful at this moment.

Hongmeng Pavilion 298316354

The sound of the bicycle chain and wheels rubbing and turning could be heard from below from time to time.

"Hold on tight, there's a downhill slope ahead."

The boy's voice drifted over from ahead. Xiaoxue hesitated for a moment, then her slender hands tentatively wrapped around the boy's waist.

"There are some things you don't need to worry about too much. If you didn't do well on this test, there's always next time. Don't be so discouraged."

Xiaoxue's voice rang out quietly.

Feeling the softness and warmth around her waist, Chunri looked ahead and a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Are you talking about me? Who am I? Haruhi. Since I've worked so hard for this test, do you think I would be frustrated before I got the score I wanted? You're overthinking it, Yuki."

"Alright, stop trying to be tough in front of me. These past few days, the word 'serious' has been written all over your face. You look like you think life is boring. Do you want me to act like your mother and coax you to sleep?"

"...That's enough, stop nagging. I've already said I wasn't being stubborn."

Spring couldn't help but stop Xiaoxue's mischievous prank.

Although the two reborn in this life cannot return to the intimacy they had when they lived together in their previous life, they are not too distant either.

Although they are already adults in terms of mental age, they occasionally reflect on their current lives.

However, what exactly is the delicate relationship between Xiaoxue and Qing now?

They had already agreed to break up peacefully on the day they were reborn.

The bicycles sped down a curved ramp, the April sunset reflecting on their ordinary faces, making them glow red and instantly captivating.

"At least give me something to look forward to, let me know that you are working as hard as I am."

A gentle evening breeze blew by, and amidst the rustling of the wind, the young man heard the whispers of the girl who was gently holding his waist; the sound was almost inaudible.

Both of them, whether boy or girl, have started their own little plans after being reborn in this life, and they are no longer as reckless and unruly as they were in their previous life.
