Rebirth: I Like You

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and everyone is wearing short sleeves.

"Students, please be quiet. Next, I want to tell you something. There is a district essay competition here. The requirements are that the essay must be original and has not been published before. The word count is about 2000-5000 words. Students who are interested in participating in the essay competition can contact me to sign up."

As soon as the monitor finished speaking, a student raised his hand to speak.

"Excuse me, classmate, do you have any questions?"

"Class monitor, I would like to ask if there is any prize money for this essay competition? If there is, how much money is it?"

"This student asked a good question. This competition has prize money. The top six winners will receive prizes of 10000 yuan, 8000 yuan, 6000 yuan, 4000 yuan, 2000 yuan, and 1000 yuan respectively. In addition, there are several encouragement prizes of 500 yuan. I hope that students in our class will actively sign up for the competition and win the championship."

"Class monitor, when is the registration deadline?"

"The registration deadline is this Friday, so students can make a decision as soon as possible. Students who are sure to register, please come here to fill out the registration form. I will send a copy of the specific requirements of the essay competition to the group and you can take a look. I will post the paper version on the class bulletin board and students can also take a look."

"So when is the latest time to submit the competition work?"

"Just hand in your entries to me before next Friday. Once you've decided on a theme, you can start writing. Revise it several times and try to win a prize."

"Monitor, I'm signing up."

"Okay, come over here and get the form and fill in the information."

"Hey, Shuangling, are you participating in the essay competition?" Zuo You came over and asked.

"I want to sign up for this essay competition. Xiao Youzi, are you going to participate?" An Shuangling replied, "Why don't we sign up together? Participation is the most important thing."

"Okay, I'll sign up with you. I don't care if there's a prize or not. What matters to me is participation!"

"Okay, okay, let's go. Let's go get the form and fill in the registration information."

"Oh, by the way, let's ask Qin Shiyu if she wants to participate?"

"I'll go ask her, you get in line first."

An Shuangling was standing in line obediently. She sensed someone behind her, so she turned around to ask Zuo You and Qin Shiyu whether they were participating in the competition. Unexpectedly, the person she saw after turning around was Pan Long.

Seeing An Shuangling's surprised expression, Panlong explained: "I haven't participated in this kind of competition before, so I'd like to sign up and see for myself."

"Oh, there will definitely be no problem since you have such good academic performance."

"Really? Shuangling, have you ever participated in such a competition?"

"I have participated in such competitions in elementary school, middle school, and high school."

"Then I'll ask you if I have any questions."

"Oh, okay. I'll tell you everything I know."

"So good, you'll grant my request?"

Panlong was too close to her, and when she looked up she met his dark eyes. The boy's eyes were big and bright, with thick and curled eyelashes. An Shuangling was stunned for a moment.

"Is it nice? If you're my girlfriend, you can watch it every day."

"Who wants to be your girlfriend? I just want to study hard." After saying that, she turned around and didn't look at him.

Panlong looked at An Shuangling's back in disappointment and smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do about it. Who could make him fall in love with someone who didn't like him?

It doesn't matter, he believes that one day she will see the good in him.

"Shuang Ling, Qin Shiyu is also participating."

"Okay, then let's sign up and prepare together."

"Okay. Let's go to the library tonight."

"Yeah, let's go grab a seat after we finish eating. Let's go early to avoid being left without a seat."

"Ok."

After filling out the form, Panlong took An Shuangling's application form. Just as An Shuangling was about to say something, Panlong said, "Let me help you submit it."

"Okay, thank you Panlong-san."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Save me a seat at the library tonight."

"Okay, I'll send you a message then."

Panlong smiled happily. It seemed nice to be able to study together, go to the library to read together, and prepare for the competition together.

At dinner time, they hurriedly finished their meal and ran to the library, fearing that if they arrived too late, the good seats would have been taken.

"Ding"

"Brother Long, whose message is this?"

"Shuangling has saved a seat for me in the library. I'm going to read a book in the library. I'll leave first."

"Brother Long, wait for me. I'm going to the library to read too. I've also signed up for the essay competition today." Guo Junchen shouted from behind.

Ye Jiahao and Zhang Xu looked at each other. Well, they were the only ones who didn’t sign up, but that wasn’t what they were interested in.

After receiving An Shuangling's text message, Panlong trotted over. At this moment, he really wished he had a pair of wings and flew directly to her.

When he arrived at the library, he saw Shen Dongjun harassing An Shuangling. Without saying a word, Panlong went up and punched Shen Dongjun in the face.

Shen Dongjun was not willing to be outdone and punched back. Both of them were injured. The librarian heard the noise and ran over and pulled the two apart.

It just so happened that Shen Dongjun's father came to inspect the school today, and he rushed over after hearing the news.

"Dad, why are you here?" Shen Dongjun asked in surprise.

Father Shen glanced at him without saying anything. He turned to Panlong and said, "Ah Long, are you okay? I mentioned you to your father yesterday, and I didn't expect to meet you here today. I heard that you always rank first in the grade in every exam. It's true that a good father will have a good son. Everything in the future belongs to you young people."

"Hello, Uncle Shen."

"I heard from the librarian that you and Xiaojun had some conflicts and even physical confrontations. What happened? Did this kid bully you?"

"Uncle, it's okay, we were just having a small fight."

"Aaron, your father and I are classmates and close friends, and we have also been partners for many years. I hope that Dong Jun can become good friends and brothers with you, and work together to create brilliance in the future. If he offends you in any way, just tell me and I will take care of him."

"Uncle Shen, what you said is too serious. He and I have some conflicts. We will solve them ourselves. We dare not disturb you."

"Dongjun, come over and apologize."

"Dad, was he the one who hit me first?"

"Why did I hit you? Don't you know what's going on?"

Looking at his father's stern eyes and Panlong's tough attitude.

Shen Dongjun had no choice but to compromise, "I was wrong this time."

"I hope you will be more careful in the future. You should know what you should and shouldn't do. Don't force something that doesn't belong to you. Don't blame me for being rude next time."

"Along, calm down. How about your uncle take you out for a midnight snack to apologize?"

"He still has to apologize to An Shuangling. I hope he won't bother An Shuangling again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Shuangling, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered you."

The farce ended with Shen Dongjun and Shen's father leaving. An Shuangling felt a little guilty, thinking that she had implicated Panlong.

Seeing the little girl's thoughts, Panlong smiled and said, "It's okay, don't blame yourself, let's read a book."
