Rebirth: Those Years When I Was a Bad Student

In the first two days of military training, everyone was not very familiar with each other.

Living in the dormitory at night, there are bound to be late night talks, and somehow the conversation turned to Cheng Yao and Zhang Yumian.

Lin Qing, who was sleeping on the lower bunk of Zhang Yumian, asked, "Zhang Yumian, Cheng Yao treats you very well. We all noticed that he brings you meals every night. We are so envious of him. He even helps you wash your clothes."

Others also started to make a noise, "That's right, that's right, tell me what your relationship is."

"If you ask me, this relationship must be extraordinary."

Zhang Yumian didn't expect that the gossip would start before the military training was over. "We were classmates. He sat behind me in junior high school."

Lin Qing said enviously, "What kind of fate is this? We sat in front of each other in junior high school and in high school. The key is that your deskmate is so handsome and considerate. How many girls' hearts will be won by this?"

Zhang Yumian hesitated and said, "No...it's not that exaggerated."

The girl on the opposite bed said, "You can't say that. I heard that Cheng Yao was the first one to pass the exam."

The girl on her upper bunk said, "Yes, it seems so. His family seems to be quite rich. His shoes are enough to pay for our dormitory fees for a year."

Lin Qing took a breath and said, "It's so expensive. This is too wasteful."

Lin Qing passed the exam from a nearby town. His family situation was not much different from Zhang Yumian’s. Basically, many people came from ordinary families.

Their accommodation fee is 800 yuan a year, which is cheap, and they are managed by the school and have a canteen. It is a good choice for many parents, after all, they have to work and have no time to take care of their children.

Lin Qing kept talking for a long time, "Zhang Yumian's family is really that rich. He is good at studying and his family is rich. It turns out that reincarnation is a technical job."

Zhang Yumian didn't know what to say for a moment, and said lightly, "He studies very well."

Later I made the excuse that I had to get up early and went to bed.

The next day, Zhang Yumian got up early to get her clothes. After returning to the dormitory to change, Cheng Yao sent her a message, asking her to come down quickly for breakfast.

She would have gone in the past, but after what happened last night, she was a little hesitant.

But they were desk mates, so they basically slept together at night.

Finally I went there. The instructor hadn't arrived yet, and many people liked to sit together in groups of three or five and chat.

Cheng Yao looked at Zhang Yumian absentmindedly and asked, "Zhang Yumian, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yumian ate the bun in her hand and thought about what to say. She couldn't pretend not to know, so she finally said honestly, "Recently, it seems that someone is saying that we are in that kind of relationship. Don't send me meals or bring breakfast in the future."

Cheng Yao asked back, "With that kind of relationship, do you want me to stop talking to you in the future?"

Zhang Yumian choked. "Well, it's not realistic not to talk. After all, we are deskmates, unless..."

Cheng Yao sneered, "Unless something..."

Zhang Yumian replied, “Unless you ask the teacher to change your deskmate,” but I didn’t want to change at all, so she just kept it to herself.

Cheng Yao said nothing. He glanced at Zhang Yumian coldly and walked towards the assembly point.

When Zhang Yumian saw the instructor coming, he quickly finished the remaining buns on his phone. He didn’t even have time to drink the milk, so he ran over and stood still.

If you are late for the assembly, you will be punished by doing frog jumps.

At noon, Cheng Yao went home for lunch. After Zhang Yumian finished her meal in the cafeteria, she did not return to the dormitory but went to the classroom to rest for a while.

Until the end of the afternoon, Cheng Yao didn't say a word to her.

Tomorrow is the last day of military training. It is not a good idea to ask people to take the clothes home to wash in this situation. Zhang Yumian is just wondering whether to wear clothes that smell of sweat all day or wear clothes that are damp in the morning.

While Zhang Yumian was still struggling with her thoughts, Cheng Yao came over and said, "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and change your clothes, or you won't be able to grab a seat later."

Zhang Yumian replied timidly, "Cheng Yao, you are not angry anymore."

Cheng Yao: "I'm still angry, but... it won't affect my washing your clothes and bringing you meals. I thought about it and as your deskmate, I would be easily implicated if you caught a cold. If you don't eat, your stomach will growl during evening study, which will affect my studies."

Zhang Yumian looked at his arrogant look but didn't expose him. At least now they both cared about each other.

Zhang Yumian went back to change her clothes and ran downstairs.

Cheng Yao looked at his watch and said, "Zhang Yumian, you are getting faster and faster. You will definitely be the champion of the 100-meter race in the future."

Zhang Yumian handed the bag to him. "I didn't expect that Cheng Yao would be able to joke."

After saying that, Zhang Yumian rushed to the bathhouse as fast as she could. Zhang Yumian felt that her high school life was like a guerrilla war.

After returning to the classroom, the lunch box and a glass of juice were still on the table. Seeing the spare ribs inside, Zhang Yumian became very hungry. He hadn't eaten for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Yumian eating with a satisfied look on his face, Cheng Yao handed her a tissue and said, "Wipe it off your face."

Zhang Yumian also praised, "Grandpa Cheng, the spareribs are so delicious today."

Cheng Yao smiled and said, "Really? It's delicious, just eat it all."

Zhang Yumian didn't know that Cheng Yao cooked today's meal, as Grandpa Cheng went back to his hometown in the morning. Cheng Yao was worried that there wouldn't be enough time in the evening, so he ate a little outside at noon, bought some vegetables and prepared them at home, and put them in the refrigerator, so he could just fry them after the military training in the afternoon.

After Lin Qing entered the classroom, he came in from the back door. When he passed by Zhang Yumian's seat, he joked, "The food here is too good. If I don't want to go to the cafeteria, there is also juice, a top-notch dinner. Why haven't I met such a good deskmate? I'm so envious."

Zhang Yumian: "Well, it's over after the military training. Stop talking nonsense and go back to your seat. The bell is about to ring."

After Lin Qing left, Cheng Yao asked, "Why don't we have to queue up for the bathroom after military training? The evening self-study session ends at 10 o'clock, and the lights are turned off at 11 o'clock. It takes an hour to queue up. Maybe it's because the hair needs to dry naturally."

Zhang Yumian thought about it and realized that she had never expected that she would be troubled by taking a bath.

Cheng Yao looked at Zhang Yumian's sad face and said, "Okay, you should go to the bathroom for self-study in the afternoon. I'll bring you food. It's only a semester, and your appetite won't bankrupt my family."

Zhang Yumian laughed and said, "Even if the whole class eats together, it is impossible for Master Cheng's family to go bankrupt."

After the military training, Zhang Yumian returned home.

Lin Cai'e looked him up and down and said, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to the cafeteria and would lose weight. Now you're not thinner, you're just a little tanned, but it doesn't matter, you'll get it back after a winter."

After a week, Zhang Yumian lay in her bed again, feeling so comfortable.

After the classes officially started, it seemed like we were on the right track and everything went according to plan.

During the break, Zhang Yumian was doing homework. Lin Qing sat in Cheng Yao's seat and said, "Zhang Yumian, it turns out that your deskmate is so good at playing basketball. A group of girls on the playground are cheering for him."

Zhang Yumian pointed the pen in her hand at Cheng Yao's position and said, "He went to play basketball?"

Lin Qing: "Yes, tell me quickly, he used to be very handsome when he played basketball. He played with the sophomores and juniors."

Zhang Yumian shook his head. "I know he can do it, but I've never seen him fight."
