Rebirth: Those Years When I Was a Bad Student

When Zhang Yumian walked into the classroom, she found Zheng Yue already sitting in her seat.

Since she sat down, her whole back seemed a little stiff, which was a bit strange and abnormal.

When she put her schoolbag in, she found a gift box inside.

Zhang Yumian took it out and found a pink box with a beautiful bow tied on it. It was obvious that it was a gift from a girl.

Zhang Yumian said affirmatively in a questioning tone, "Yueyue, this is from you."

Zheng Yue replied casually, "Well, take a look. Do you like it?"

Zhang Yumian: "Yueyue, why did you suddenly give me a gift?"

Zheng Yue was puzzled, "Suddenly? Isn't today your birthday? How could it be so sudden?"

Zhang Yumian thought of her birthday. Is today her birthday?

Her mother didn't remind her, so that shouldn't be the case.

"Yueyue, what day is today?"

Zheng Yue turned to look at Zhang Yumian in horror and said uncertainly, "Mianmian, you don't remember the time again?"

Since the last time she lost track of time, she has changed drastically.

She didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she forgot the time again.

Zhang Yumian held her hand and said, "No, I remember today is not my birthday, I just asked you about the time."

Zheng Yue was a little confused. "Mianmian, when we filled in the family information, I remember you wrote November 11st. It's impossible that you remembered it wrong."

Zhang Yumian understood that this date was written in the household registration book, but her actual birthday was November 11th.

Because I made a mistake when I registered my household registration, but it was only a few days away, so I didn't change it.

It would cost money to change it, but since I think the impact won't be that big, I'll just leave it as it is.

After Zhang Yumian finished explaining, Zheng Yue said with a sad face, "Ah, I thought I was the only one who remembered your birthday and was somewhat happy."

Zhang Yumian comforted her, "It's okay, it's just a few days away, let me see what gift Yueyue gave me."

After the box was opened, Zhang Yumian's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Yueyue, how did you know I like this?"

The gifts were Zhang Yumian’s favorite collection of prose poems and a classic.

Seeing Zhang Yumian's delighted expression, Zheng Yue said proudly, "Of course, being a best friend can't be for nothing."

As expected, she did not make a mistake. She was still struggling with what gift to give, but a few days ago, she heard the daughter of one of her mother's colleagues talking about literature, and she remembered that Mianmian loved writing so much.

There is definitely nothing wrong in giving her a book.

I chose these books on the recommendation of my friends.

Zhang Yumian happily held Zheng Yue's shoulder and said, "The one who understands me is Yueyue."

“Hahaha, that’s it.” Zheng Yue’s little tail was about to stand up.

Zhang Wentian poked his head out from behind and said, "What are you talking about? You look so happy."

"Secret" Zheng Yue only left out two words.

But Zhang Wentian, who had sharp eyes, still found the box and ribbon, "Where did the gift come from, who sent it?"

Zhang Yumian put the box back on the desk and explained, "Yueyue, this is my birthday present."

Cheng Yao interrupted from behind, "Isn't it your birthday yet?"

He remembered that her father had said the end of November, and he had specifically asked, and it was November 27th, not today.

Zheng Yue quickly turned around and looked sideways at her deskmate, then fixed her gaze on Cheng Yao, "How do you know when Mianmian's birthday is?"

Zhang Wentian scratched his head and said, "I remember the information said it was November 21st."

Zheng Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. It turned out that she was not the only one, there were people like her.

Cheng Yao continued, "That should be wrong."

After all, there is no father who doesn’t remember his daughter’s birthday.

Zheng Yue didn't intend to end the topic just like that, and asked, "How do you know so clearly?"

He turned and looked at Zhang Yumian.

Zhang Yumian understood immediately and explained, "Yueyue, don't look at me like that. I may not have said that."

She was also a little curious. Logically, they shouldn't know about it. Apart from her family, basically no one knew about this little mistake.

Cheng Yao said calmly, "I heard this from my uncle once."

All Zhang Yumian could think of was that summer vacation. Apart from that, her father should not have had any contact with Cheng Yao.

"When did it happen? How come I don't know about it?" Zhang Wentian said.

Cheng Yao laughed and said, "Since you're not here, hurry up and memorize the lessons. We have to do dictation in Chinese class today."

In the blink of an eye, it was Zhang Yumian’s birthday. He woke up in the morning and ate the longevity noodles prepared by his parents.

Zhang Yumian also gave Zhang Yumian two hundred yuan, telling her that if she wanted to play with her classmates after school, she could go home later.

What surprised her was that Zhang Qingfeng, the miser, actually contributed his own New Year's money and bought one himself since he didn't have a birthday present.

Zhang Yumian came to school in a very happy mood.

"Happy birthday, Mianmian."

"Thank you. You're here early today."

"Of course, I want to be the first one to say happy birthday to you."

After Cheng Yao came in, he also handed over gifts and birthday wishes.

His gift was not beautifully packaged, but was the two books that were missing.

"Cheng Yao also sent me some books. Let me see what kind of books they are." Zheng Yue flipped through the books a few times. "Why is there no first volume?"

Zhang Yumian took a look and said, "I already have the first volume. It's at my house."

After Zhang Wentian came in, Zheng Yue asked first, "What gift did you prepare for Mianmian?"

Zhang Wentian said mysteriously, "You can only see my gift after school. Zhang Yumian, let's get together after school."

He originally wanted to buy a gift, but after looking around, he found that gifts for girls were too difficult to buy, so he gave up.

Zhang Yumian smiled and said, "Sure. I was just about to ask you if you want to eat anything? It's my treat. My dad gave me money this morning."

"Wow, I'm in for a treat today." Zheng Yue's expression was just right and exaggerated.

"Is that so? Then we have to think about where to eat. Let's all think about it."

Cheng Yao suggested, "How about we go have a barbecue?"

"Is it the new one that opened over there in the square? I heard it's very good." Zheng Yue was obviously very interested.

"Okay, then let's go to this one and leave after school." Zhang Yumian finally made the decision.

It's rare that everyone agrees.

This was her first time to go out to eat with her classmates on her birthday. In the past, she would give gifts to her classmates on their birthdays.

Zhang Yumian thought that her fourteenth birthday would be different from the previous ones, and every year thereafter would be different.

When it was time for dinner, Zhang Wentian went out mysteriously and brought back the gift.

"I was wondering why you were out for so long. Turns out you were preparing a birthday cake." Zheng Yue said to Zhang Wentian who came in with a cake in his hand.

Zhang Yumian didn't expect that it would be a birthday cake.

Zhang Wentian shook the cake in his hand and said, "How is it? Does the birthday boy like it?"

“I like it. Thank you.”

Zhang Wentian continued, "You two, don't be envious. I will take care of all your birthday cakes from now on."

Zhang Yumian smiled and said, "In this case, there will be no cake on your birthday."

Zhang Wentian said nonchalantly, "Hey, what's the big deal? Prepare it yourself."

After opening the cake, Cheng Yao borrowed a lighter from the waiter and lit the candles.

“Mianmian, make a wish.”
