After being reborn, I gained a childhood sweetheart who appeared out of nowhere.

Lin Chuan turned to look out the window. There was still some time before school ended, and many vehicles were parked haphazardly at the school gate.

Those were parents picking up their children from school, but private cars are not allowed to enter the school at No. 1 Middle School, so every Friday, the school gate is always full of cars.

Xue Ren was still lecturing on the podium, but most of the students' minds had already wandered away, and some had even put their backpacks on.

Lin Chuan felt that Friday was more enjoyable than Saturday and Sunday, whether it was for work or school, because it was a two-day holiday. On Friday, the boys had already made plans to go to the internet cafe to play games over the weekend, and the girls had also made plans to go shopping together.

He recalled that the happiest days during the Lunar New Year when he was a child were precisely the days before the New Year.

Seeing the students' lack of interest in the classroom, Xue Ren couldn't help but tap the blackboard. "What are you doing? School's not over yet. Pay attention!"

Only then did the students in the class turn their heads from their wonderful anticipation of the weekend to look at the blackboard, still somewhat reluctant.

"Wang Xu, why are you carrying a backpack? Are you trying to be the first one out of the classroom as soon as get out of class ends?" Xue Ren asked. "Are you this enthusiastic about coming to class?"

Wang Xu scratched his head awkwardly and gave an embarrassed laugh, which broke the silence of the classroom with a burst of light laughter.

"Alright, listen carefully, I'll finish as soon as possible," Xue Ren continued.

"Teacher, if we finish this lesson sooner, can we end get out of class early?" a student asked.

"Dream on! I can skip class," Xue Ren said.

"Sigh..." The boy sighed, but since Friday afternoon classes didn't run overtime, it was barely acceptable.

Xue Ren was a man of his word. The moment the school bell rang, he put away his chalk on time, turned around and followed the rest of the class, saying, "Okay, get out of class is over, let's go home."

A commotion erupted in the classroom as students rushed out, except for the students on duty who looked on with long faces as they watched their classmates leave, thinking how unlucky it was to be on duty on Friday.

Lin Chuan, on the other hand, calmly packed his things.

"Brother, hurry up!" Wang Xu shouted.

"Are you in a hurry?" Lin Chuan asked.

Wang Xu exclaimed, "Ah!" It wasn't a matter of whether he was in a hurry or not; the main thing was that it was Friday, and it wouldn't be strange if he wasn't proactive.

"You're so slow," someone said to him.

Lin Chuan looked up at Chen Xiyu. Today was a rare occasion. In the past, he was the one who went to find Chen Xiyu. Behind her were Zhou Yun, Zhao Jiajia, and a few other people. They all seemed to have gotten along quite well.

"That sounds so familiar," Lin Chuan asked. "I'm the one who always says that to you, right?"

Chen Xiyu chuckled.

Lin Chuan stuffed his weekend homework into his schoolbag, then got up, and the group of students chattered as they walked out of the school.

Lin Chuan followed at the back, his hands in his pockets, watching the people in front of him. Wang Xu and Zhao Jiajia were talking about the anime club, while Chen Xiyu was thanking Zhou Yun for sharing her breakfast that morning and wanted to offer to treat her to something...

"It's really lively," he thought to himself inexplicably.

After passing through the traffic at the school gate, we arrived at the bus stop and waited for the bus together. It just so happened that they were all from the group whose parents didn't come to pick them up.

"Why did you come back with Liu Hao at noon?" Chen Xiyu turned around and asked.

"Hey? Lao Lin, you're with Liu Hao?" Wang Xu was also a little surprised. Many people in the class could tell that Liu Hao and Lin Chuan didn't get along, partly because of the class monitor, and partly because of Chen Xiyu.

"What do you mean, 'I'm with him'?" Lin Chuan said. "Who taught you Chinese?"

"Old Xue," Wang Xu said frankly.

"I ran into him at the student union activity room at noon, but it's a long story," Lin Chuan said.

"To make a long story short," Chen Xiyu said.

Lin Chuan briefly recounted what had happened in the student council.

"Class monitor, you're already interviewing new students?" Zhao Jiajia exclaimed in surprise.

"Old Lin, you're amazing!" Wang Xu said. In his mind, the student union was a pretty "cool" organization.

If your deskmate is in such an awesome organization and is just as awesome, wouldn't he be even more awesome?

"Did you give Liu Hao a low score?" Chen Xiyu asked, her focus seemingly different from others. This girl, who appeared somewhat artistic and refreshing, seemed to have her own little temper.

"I wrote down whatever he said about his performance during the interview," Lin Chuan said.

"Shouldn't we give him a couple of dirty tricks?" Wang Xu also felt that he didn't like Liu Hao either.

Lin Chuan smiled. He could easily see through Liu Hao's little schemes, but he was too lazy to bother with them. There was no point in arguing with a kid every day.

Besides, the interview was considered "work" for him, so he wrote down whatever he had to say. Whether he could get into the student council was up to Liu Hao himself.

They chatted as buses pulled into the station, and the line thinned out.

In the end, only Lin Chuan and Chen Xiyu were left, but they didn't have to wait long before their own people arrived.

The bus stopped in front, the doors opened, and the two people boarded the bus with the group of students.

On Friday afternoon, Lin Chuan didn't expect to get a seat on the bus. He was already glad that there weren't any people crowding around. He and Chen Xiyu walked to a spot near the back door and stood there as the bus slowly started moving.

After sitting for a while, the boy next to her seemed to hesitate for a moment before finally making up his mind. He stood up, gently patted Chen Xiyu's backpack, and then asked softly, "Excuse me, do you want to sit down?"

Chen Xiyu doesn't look like a delicate girl. She's 1.7 meters tall, taller than some of the boys in the class. She's not the only girl standing there, but she's the only one receiving this treatment.

"No need, thank you," Chen Xiyu said.

The boy smiled brightly and sat back down in his seat.

Chen Xiyu was playing on her phone, her other hand resting on the handrail. Lin Chuan was opposite her. She glanced at her phone and then asked, "Have you joined the literature club's group?"

"Is there a group?" Lin Chuan asked.

"certainly."

"not yet."

"Then I'll send it to you."

"Okay," Lin Chuan reminded, "Stand still and don't just look at your phone."

"fine……"

Before he could finish speaking, a private car appeared in front of the speeding bus, and the driver instinctively slammed on the brakes.

Chen Xiyu stumbled forward instinctively, but fortunately Lin Chuan reacted quickly and caught her shoulder, preventing her from falling into his arms. However, her forehead was still pressed against Lin Chuan's chest.

"Ouch!" Chen Xiyu exclaimed subconsciously. After regaining her balance, she touched her forehead and looked up.

The two were very close, and Lin Chuan could smell the warm fragrance of her hair. Her clear eyes were like a pool of clear water. When their eyes met, his heart stirred slightly for some reason.

"Friend, are you trying to commit murder?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Hehe, what a surprise." Chen Xiyu smiled and straightened up.
