Rebirth: Those Years When I Was a Bad Student

In the blink of an eye, the first year of high school was coming to an end. When it came time to choose between arts and science, Zhang Yumian chose science.

He and Cheng Yao are still deskmates.

During the holiday, Cheng Yao seemed to have something to do and left in a hurry.

We only chat a few words at night on weekdays, but he always replies very slowly. I wonder if something has happened to him.

It wasn't until school started that I saw Cheng Yao again.

I always feel that he has something on his mind. He often stares at his phone, as if he is waiting for some news.

Since he didn't say anything, it would be difficult for Zhang Yumian to ask.

That day Lin Qing said, "There is a very beautiful volunteer in our school. She is said to be from a famous foreign university. Why didn't she come last year? I heard my freshman classmates say in the cafeteria that she is really multi-talented."

Zhang Yumian didn't pay much attention to it and just listened.

Until this day, during their break, the volunteer came to find Cheng Yao.

She was very confident and generous, wearing a floral dress and waist-length hair, giving people the feeling of a lady from a scholarly family. She walked straight into the classroom, came to their row, and said to Cheng Yao, "I seem to have forgotten my keys. Can you lend me your keys?"

Cheng Yao took out the key from his schoolbag and gave it to her, reminding her to "stop messing around in the kitchen"

The reason I say this is because Jiang Shuying has a criminal record. She almost started a fire while making breakfast. If grandpa hadn't discovered it early, something serious would have happened.

Jiang Shuying wanted to say something, but she didn't want to destroy her image in their hearts, so she just said, "It was an accident."

Before leaving, he noticed Zhang Yumian next to him, looked him up and down, accidentally saw the book on Zhang Yumian's desk, and then said, "This is your friend, right?"

Cheng Yao urged, "Okay, go back quickly."

As the two interacted more and more, they got along more naturally and were not as polite as before.

Cheng Yao also discovered that although Jiang Shuying looked like a lady and quiet, she was actually a careless person.

At this time Zhang Yumian also recognized her. This was the girl in the photo she had seen in her previous life, so they had known each other for a long time. So when did they get together?

When did Cheng Yao start to like her? Are they living together now?

Her mind was full of questions, but she couldn't ask any of them.

After saying hello, he left the classroom.

As Zhang Yumian walked on the playground, she couldn't help but wonder, is she running away?

But what's the use? The established facts cannot be changed.

After enjoying the evening breeze outside for a while, Zhang Yumian returned to the classroom.

Most of the discussion was about the relationship between Cheng Yao and this top student volunteer.

Although Zhang Yumian was reading, her mind had already drifted away. After a while, Cheng Yao knocked on the table. Zhang Yumian looked over and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Cheng Yao pointed at her book and said, "Is there something wrong with you? Ten minutes have passed and you haven't turned a page. What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yumian looked down, turned a page and said, "Nothing, just close your eyes and rest."

Cheng Yao: "Close your eyes and rest. You opened your eyes so wide, I think you are lying."

Zhang Yumian said nothing and began to force himself to read.

After school on Friday, Jiang Shuying came to see Cheng Yao and went out for dinner in the evening.

Jiang Shuying said the scenery here is nice and she wanted to go there to collect inspiration on the weekend.

Cheng Yao asked Zhang Yumian if she wanted to go play with him, but Zhang Yumian refused, saying that she had an appointment with friends over the weekend.

Just turn around and walk away, out of sight, out of mind.

When I was about to leave the school gate, I happened to run into Xu Guanzhong.

Zhang Yumian went forward to say hello, intending to scare him.

It failed, and Xu Guanzhong had an expression that said, "I knew it," and said, "You can change to a new one next time, this one is too old-fashioned."

Zhang Yumian sighed, "How is it going? Did you catch up with the girl? Do you need any help?"

Xu Guanzhong: "You speak as if you have a lot of experience."

Zhang Yumian was so angry, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?"

Xu Guanzhong put his hand on Zhang Yumian's shoulder and raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, it's almost done."

Jiang Shuying and Cheng Yao were right behind them.

Looking at this scene, Jiang Shuying nudged Cheng Yao with her elbow and said, "It seems that your deskmate really made an appointment with a friend. You know that boy, and it seems that they have a good relationship."

Cheng Yao glanced ahead and said impatiently, "Are you going or not? I'm going home."

Jiang Shuying quickly followed, "Go, why not go."

On Monday, many people came to Cheng Yao to inquire, and there were no beautiful and outstanding students going to other schools.

Cheng Yao always replied that he didn’t know and told him to ask if he had any questions.

Zhang Yumian heard this and asked, "You are not volunteering in our school anymore. Are you going to another school?"

Cheng Yao said with interest, "If you are so curious, why didn't you come last weekend? I won't tell you, go ask yourself."

Zhang Yumian held the pen in his hand and said, "I just asked casually. If you don't want to tell me, forget it. Your friend is not my friend."

After a while, Cheng Yao said, "She went to a rural primary school. The scenery there is beautiful, and the students there need to know more about the outside world. She also likes children."

Although Jiang Shuying has only been in school for half a month, she has a good relationship with people, is lively and cheerful, and has no generation gap when communicating with people of the same age.

At the end of her one and a half month teaching career, she first came to the county town, bought a lot of school supplies and brought them back to the village primary school.

Because the project was quite large, Cheng Yao went to help and also called Zhang Wentian.

After Zheng Yue found out, she also took Zhang Yumian with her.

Seeing how reluctant they were to leave, you can tell that she really likes this place and these children.

Jiang Shuying prepared not only school supplies, but also a birthday cake and gifts for each child.

It was she who used the camera to record their smiles these days.

There is a handwritten message from her behind each photo.

Zhang Wentian sighed, "Your goddess friend is really thoughtful."

Cheng Yao looked at the heartwarming scene in front of him and said, "Well, she is very attentive and well-planned in everything she does."

At the final farewell, Jiang Shuying suddenly said, "I will come to see you again in ten years. By then you should have graduated from college. Remember your ideals and work hard to realize them."

On the way back, Zhang Yumian kept thinking about ten years later. Wasn’t that photo taken ten years later?
