Rebirth: Those Years When I Was a Bad Student

After the morning exercises the next day, Zhang Yumian waited in the corner of the playground for Zheng Yue to go to the toilet.

Bored, she squatted under the ginkgo tree, picked up a few ginkgo leaves on the ground, and casually broke off a flower.

After she stood up, she saw Cheng Yao walking towards her. After a moment, she decided to walk towards the toilet.

But Cheng Yao seemed to see through her thoughts, ran towards her, and shouted, "Zhang Yumian, wait a moment."

After hearing the sound, the students around her looked in her direction, and then looked away. She couldn't escape anymore, otherwise it would seem that she was guilty.

Cheng Yao ran a little hurriedly, and was still breathing heavily when he stood in front of Zhang Yumian. His school uniform top was still open, and he was wearing a white pullover underneath. The collar was a little high and almost covered his entire neck, which made his face look more slender.

A gust of wind blew by, Zhang Yumian shrank her neck, stretched out her hand and pulled the zipper of her school uniform up again until it reached the end. There was no other way. She had been afraid of the cold since she was a child, and it was already mid-November.

The heating had been turned on for a long time, and she really didn't want to go outdoors unless it was absolutely necessary. At this moment, she just wanted to be a flower in a greenhouse.

But since the weather has been good recently and it hasn't snowed, we still have to do the exercises during breaks.

After the first snow falls, we can temporarily cancel the physical exercises during breaks. What a broken rule! Doesn’t it mean it’s not winter if it doesn’t snow?

But I just complained in my heart. Although some classmates and teachers gave suggestions to the school, they were all rejected.

Cheng Yao's words brought Zhang Yumian back to her senses. "Zheng Yue has already returned to the classroom. You don't have to wait for her."

There was nothing Zhang Yumian didn't know now: her desk mate had "betrayed" her.

Zhang Yumian turned the ginkgo leaf in his hand and said, "Oh," then raised his head slightly and said, "Thank you for coming to tell me. I'll go back to the classroom first."

The moment Zhang Yumian turned around, Cheng Yao's voice came, "Together."

There was only one way back to the classroom, and the two walked side by side, neither of them speaking.

After they walked out of the playground, Cheng Yao suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

Zhang Yumian was still a little confused when she heard this. She turned her head to look at Cheng Yao in confusion. Cheng Yao happened to look at her as well. "Zheng Yue told me that I didn't know Feng Xiaomin would say something like that. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. But I've already talked to her, and she won't bother you again in the future."

Zhang Yumian didn't expect that her desk mate was so unreliable and told her everything in detail.

She walked with her head down, constantly turning the ginkgo flowers in her hand. In fact, she knew in her heart that the reason for the estrangement between Yuan Yao and Feng Xiaomin was not a big one, but more of her own reasons, but she could not say it clearly.

Cheng Yao turned his head to look at the girl next to him. She didn't say anything for a long time, which made him feel a little anxious. This was the first time that the girl showed kindness to him and took the initiative to talk to him and gave him warmth. He didn't want to make her sad at all.

I don't want her to distance herself from me.

Cheng Yao asked with a little tentativeness and uncertainty, "Can you forgive me? Can we still be friends in the future?"

Hearing the tentative and cautious tone in his voice, Zhang Yumian's heart twitched involuntarily. She seemed to have hurt Cheng Yao inadvertently, and he must cherish her as a friend because he was so cautious.

Didn't she also carefully check his QQ space at the beginning? Although it was blank, it was the only place where she could get close to him.

Zhang Yumian's mind was a little confused at the moment. The memories of past and present lives and the complicated emotions all filled her mind like a tangled mess. She seemed a little unable to make sense of it.

Before going up the stairs, she said slowly, "Cheng Yao, I'm not angry with you. I know this matter has nothing to do with you. If you want, we have always been good friends.

"There are still some things that I haven't figured out myself. I'll be fine once I figure them out."

Cheng Yao turned around and found that the sky was quite blue today. The weather was really good.

Cheng Yao smiled and said, "Okay." Then he reached out and took the ginkgo leaf flower that Zhang Yumian had trampled on all the way, and said casually, "Seeing that you have been wandering around it, you probably don't like it, so let me help you solve it."

Zhang Yumian looked at his empty hands, thinking that he had originally planned to throw it into the trash can after returning to the classroom. So he replied, "Then please help me throw it away."

Zhang Wentian and Zheng Yue were still discussing whether they had reconciled. Zhang Wentian saw two people entering the classroom and patted Zheng Yue's arm. "Here they are. They are here."

Zheng Yue turned around and looked at the two people who came in. Zhang Yumian was very calm and nothing could be seen. However, the smile in the corner of Cheng Yao's eyes was particularly clear. It seemed that they had reconciled.

In the last second, she was still regretting that she had betrayed her best sister, but in the next second, all that feeling disappeared.

He stood up very servilely and made a gesture of invitation. After Zhang Yumian sat down, he considerately took out the textbook for the next class.

Watching her series of actions, Zhang Yumian wanted to laugh, but he still kept his face tense and looked serious.

Zheng Yue was now feeling a little nervous, as if he was preparing to settle the score later.

Zheng Yue turned to look at Cheng Yao in confusion, raising her eyebrows again and again, "What's going on?"

Cheng Yao knew that Zhang Yumian should not be angry, and he must have been teasing Zheng Yue on purpose. He leaned on the table behind him, crossed his arms, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Zhang Wentian tilted his head and asked in a low voice, "You really don't know."

Cheng Yao still shook his head.

Zhang Wentian asked again, "You two haven't reconciled?"

Cheng Yao still shook his head.

This time Zhang Wentian was a little confused. "Looking at your expression when you first came in, I thought we had reconciled. But now you're shaking your head again, so we still haven't reconciled."

Cheng Yao glanced at his deskmate with disdain and said indifferently, "We've made up."

Zhang Wentian complained in his heart, it was obviously you who didn’t express yourself clearly, and you are still looking down on me here.

Zheng Yue had been secretly looking at Zhang Yumian and found that her desk mate had a blank expression on her face and didn't even look at her.

Zhang Yumian was still thinking about what had just happened. The first thing that was bothering her was that she understood that she and Cheng Yao had no future, so she felt that they should not have too much contact, and should have maintained the friendship between classmates from the beginning. Just like most of her other classmates, they might never see each other again after graduation.

The second is that she has been reborn, and because of this, they have more contact, and it can be said that she knows Cheng Yao better than before. He is really good, and she can see that Cheng Yao also sincerely regards her as a friend.

But there are still feelings from her previous life in her heart, and she doesn't know how much of that feeling is obsession and how much is love, so she wants to take a step back.

She also became more aware that her first priority now was to study, so she wanted to abandon everything else that was not necessary.

But she forgot that Cheng Yao knew nothing about all this. It was she who took the initiative to approach him at the construction site, and now she took the initiative to draw a line between them.

She is also very clear now that no matter how things change, they will always be friends.

Then let’s be friends forever. We’ll tell about the future in the future. Her future is full of uncertainties now.

After thinking it all through, Zhang Yumian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing the smile on Zhang Yumian's lips, Zheng Yue felt relieved.

I leaned over and said, "Mianmian, I'm sorry, I've told Cheng Yao and the others. I don't want Feng Xiaomin to get what she wants, and it's very painful for us to see you two like that."

Zhang Yumian patted Zheng Yue on the shoulder and said, "I forgive you this time, but this won't happen again."

Zheng Yue shook her head and said she would never do it again.
